If you allow politics to interfere with your shave, I think you need to chill out a bit.
+1 A blade should do what it does right out of the wax paper, and that's really all you can expect from it. About six months ago, a lad at the hairdresser was telling us that he "really liked" Personna Platinum (my least favourite "hyped" blade BTW), but "...not until the fifth or sixth shave" (!) "...before then, they're really harsh, but after I can get three or four good shaves out of them". He was fairly disappointed to find out - apparently after almost a year of this - that it was not normal.Just try it - and let us know[emoji3]
I never hassle with stropping or wiping DE blades.
Either they're good out of the box, or I toss them.
Cheers, Olaf
I tried the Boots own brand double edge safety blades a trial the other day... Jeeeeeeeeeez, I won't be doing that again. It felt like I was shaving with a piece of flint. I got through my head shave and my dome felt red raw. Horrible blades
I got a pack of these the other day as SWMBO gets staff discount and thought they'd be worth a try. After what you've said, maybe not.I tried the Boots own brand double edge safety blades a trial the other day... Jeeeeeeeeeez, I won't be doing that again.

Feathers. Just don't like them. Awful razor burn. Expensive too. Prefer the GSB or Astra sp. Probably come back to them as I have 9 left but for now not for me thanks.
