Ok, I've been away all week and arrived home yesterday. Razor arrived safely, thanks for the shave stick Jimbofett. You'd watched youtube to learn how to load the blade a couple of weeks ago and I also remember someone posting that they'd damaged a blade when loading so I carefully watched the the blade slide in and it didn't touch the two pips that hold the blade at either end. I used one of the PAL blades, it was seated equally left to right and tight against the two front pips.
It felt like each hair was being pulled out individually. I presume it's not meant to be like that! Am I being a big girls blouse or have I done someone wrong?
cheers, Paul
