I was expecting to have problems adjusting to it as I have pretty sensitive skin but so far the only problem is a bit on my neck, I have been using the blades it came with to start (Derby) but I have got some other blades that were kindly donated for me to try, I was also given some Mitchells Wool Fat Soap which I really like so need to order some.
Tried a few different soaps, Mitchells Wool Fat Soap, Arko, Palmolive, Wilkinson crap bowl.
So next things I am going to get, more soaps to try and I need to get a better brush just using the really cheap plain one at the moment, and once I have tried the blades that I have been given I think I will order some more to try.
Also I got my house mate to try it out, and he really like it so I think I can convert him.

I find Gillette blades (yellows and greens) work well for me with this razor YMMV.
enjoy!

Especially the bluey-grey Super Platinums - they are really nice blades very sharp and very smooth. The Blacks were good, although not as good as the blue-greys - about the same as an AstraSP for me. I wasn't so sure about the yellows though.
Just about to try some Greens as well, so I've then done the lot!!
