Just come off a couple of weeks of cart shaves and back to DE. Whilst cart shaving is a bit boring, I kind of like that its idiot proof, I am very unlikely to hurt myself, and very likely to get less burn and irritation afterwards. It does mean I have to shave (at least once) daily though. Anyway, back to ATT M1 today and I noticed that it clogged quite badly (2 days growth only) between the blade and the base plate. Is it normal to have to disassemble a DE razor between passes to get the gunk off? I did it after the second pass too, then after the third to clean it all. Though there wasn't as much clog gunk after pass two, there was a lot after the first, and its rather annoying to have to take the razor apart 3 times during one shave.
Before anyone asks, yes I try to keep the strokes short, and rinse it well between each stroke, yet somehow the gunk buildup remains after pass one. I always scrape the glue bumps off the blade before use, so its not that. Any ideas? Is it related to the blade gap with it being a mild razor, or something else perhaps? Thanks.
