As for 'its bad cos its a ....' - You should never take someones opinion on a blade as fact - I hated the legendary sweedes .. but adore Derbys..
Its the biggest variable in DE wetshaving.
The only real way is to make your way through a full sampler pack and make your own mind up.
However that said - you do get the odd 'bad' blade in any number of manufacturers.. Ive had 3-4 in the last 2 years - out of various types.
Out the packet into the razor and feels like its as dull as a spoon...
I just take it as a matter of course, bin it and get another - the benefit of a low price point really.
But as said - If something feels wrong, don't just persevere.. Change the blade, re-prep, re-lather.. Else you know a bad shave is guaranteed.
