Considering Double edge razor - Need advice!

[Gingerpose]

I've been DE shaving for a few weeks and am now starting to get decent shaves without nicks. I went with an EJ 89 and EJ brush with Palmolive cream then got some Proraso soap. I've been face lathering but will try with a bowl now. When I started I tried out 3 different blades and have been using the Tesco branded Personnas. Sticking with the Personnas has been good as I've been able to concentrate on technique, when I've used them up I'll try a selection pack.

It's worth mentioning that if you get a selection pack from Connaught shaving, tell him (Paul, he's a member here) what blades you have already tried, he should be able to make sure you don't get duplicates in the sample pack.

Thanks, I'll do that.
