I need to just admit that my first ever DE razor, the VDH Razor, just doesn't give a good shave. I will now keep it for sentimental reasons, but the fruitless hope that it will give me a close shave will now be laid to rest.
I shave close.I have come to the conclusion that BBS is myth!! I will say that a DFS is possible every time out though. No matter what combo of equipment I use there is always something left behind that can only be felt ATG. This is not a bad thing for me as a DFS is more than good for me, but I have stopped chasing the myth, imo, anymore...
