I recently got a DE razor for Christmas, the Wilkinson's sword premium edition. I just wondered why I'm seem to be having such big differences in results from different blades. For instance, the included Wilkinson's sword blades seem to cut me allot, I heard blades could make a difference so I got some personna blades from Asda, they was miles better so I bought a sample pack of blades to see if I could find ones I liked as the personna blades I'm currently using only seem to be available in Asda for £1.90 for 10. The first ones I tried was Astra superior platinum and almost every one of my hair follicles bled that I run it over, I just threw the blade away and finished off with a new personna blade without a single nick.
Am I doing something wrong? I tried a derby extra today and it did a good job but I still think I prefer personna but I don't understand why some of the blades seem to be impossible for me to use no matter what angle or how little pressure I apply.
I do have sensitive skin and could never use my Gillette Fusion without having a face covered in ingrowing hairs and extremely irritated skin afterwards. Which doesn't seem to be a problem using a DE for the past couple weeks
