Bad Blades

OK, it's a deal. As soon as the three cuts on my chin from my feather experiment last sunday are completely healed, I'll give the sharks a go. No risk, no fun :cool:
So, I tried the shark chromes out this morning: it was a badgers arse smooth shave, they are bloody awful, worse than the derbys, and I didn't think that was even possible. After I'd cut my chin twice, I took the blade out of my Mergress and put a Polsilver in to complete the shave. And then threw the other four in the packet away as well, unused. Another blade for my "don't use under any circumstances" blade list :D

I've decided to weigh any blade recommendation by He-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Named (@Nishy) carefully and with my Shark experience as a touchstone. He may be a lather-god, but what kind of skin must he have to like the vile Sharks?

Maybe He-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Named is a shark himself, they have skin like sandpaper :D Tomorrow I'll be using the Polsilver I used today again, but in my newly repaired Optionfive instead of the Mergress. No more experiments for me for a while, I have enough Polsilvers, Personna reds and ASPs to last for the next year or two. Maybe I should buy a few hundred Polsilvers before they run out?
 
Don't worry mate, doesn't matter :) We don't have to prove anything here, something that works good for me, may not work for you. Perhaps that's why we got so many choices. Interesting enough that I find Astras very good and I can get the 3rd shave comfortably.
Hiya bud, I find a Haryali 3 piece razor with Erazmic soap & 7oclock yellow a good combo. I find that Wilkinson soap dries my skin out & causes the blade to drag but Erazmic lubes well & a single brush load will do WG XG & AG down to the bone shave, luvley
 
This might be controversial but I absolutely detest feather blades. Every time I use them they shred my face to ribbons. Just not for me I'm afraid.
I used them once ( part of sample pack) sliced my face & scarred it, the only thing was I didn't feel it they are that sharp, never again

Didn't get on with Derby blades (100 of the buggers) until I tried them in my Fatip piccolo.They do a decent enough job in that.
I like the derby black, not so much the green

7 O'clock yellows....never again. Passed them on to the Mother in law.
