I use PolSilver SI blades, which seem to have very good quality control. But occasionally I find a blade with one edge "less smooth" than normal. Not what I would deem a bad edge, but not up to par either.
I tried corking the blades for a while and couldn't tell if it was an advantage. Then I tried corking only one side of each blade. Turns out if you don't mark the razor you have no idea which side was corked. Maybe that's telling in itself?
Does corking shorten the longevity of the blade (fewer shaves)?
How many times do you pull the blade through the cork?
Any thoughts?
