I have terrible skin. I get lots of spots and it's greasy and some soaps I can't even use because they burn as I'm applying them. Won't make it to the end of the shave.I have to disagree with that.
I can't use Wilkinson sword blades at all. They cut me to pieces. However, I love Personna Blues. they really suit my skin. YMMV
Try some different blades. Blades make the shave. (Astras cut me up as well). Don't try to stretch the life of the blade. Use more than once (some blades get better) but not more than 3-4 times.
Blades make not one jot of difference to me. I use whateverand they all seem to work fine... I agree some are a teeny tiny bit better than others but none to the point they're unusable. I only use decent ones mind - there might be terrible Chinese ones and things.
As long as it's a Gillette, Polsilver, Astra, Wilkinson Sword, you know... something decent - it'll shave ok.
I just can't believe that a different type of coating can make that much difference. If everyone says different blades work best for them it's because they're all the same.
