Greetings,
Today with some what trepidation was the return of the Derby extra blade to my de blade rotation, after reading a good report on this love/hate blade, i pushed the boat out and gave it another chance..The verdict?
Maybe i over-reacted on discarding the blades after i recieved a very nasty nick early this year however, looking back now, i think it was a combination of operator technique-error & a dodgy intermittent blade, of which could possibly have been a one off, as previous to 'the nasty nick incident', i had no problems with the marmite de blade of the wet shaving community.
Today my shave was a comfortable one with no blood drama..I still can't see myself ordering another batch once i've used the other 4 remaining blades in the tuck,besides that, i have a boat load of Russian blades to contend with, which will last me for years.
A suprisingly enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups no-irritation silky smooth shave with no errors to report.
Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of 4711~Cologne A/S.
My face is feeling very smooth & smelling devine.
Enjoy your day,ladies & gentlemen.
