Is this common or am I doing something wrong....


My favorite: "Nuttier than a squirrel turd!".
 
I have experienced duff blades (Personna I think). One edge wouldn't cut, while the other was fine. Some blades good others poor. I stopped buying them after that batch, Fortunately not a lot. So it is possible.
That's exactly what happens. One edge is fine, the other is not.
 
Never had a defective blade, and I've used gobs of Astra SS and SPs, maybe you're hitting the edge while loading the blade or something. Are you one of those whackjobs who remove the blade after every shave and dry it off? If so, don't do that.
Hahaha, no I'm not a whackjob. Wouldn't have the time nor the inclination to do that
 
Thank you. Where should you store blades out of interest ?

If you are cutting yourself after three years of wetshaving then it ain't the blade. Cuts & irritation (barring allergic reaction to a soap) are always the shaver's fault. Again, it's either faulty prep, bad technique or a razor more aggressive than your needs warrant. One, or a combo, of those three. Don't look for other solutions as there are none and you'll be "wandering in the desert" another three years. There is no shame in admitting that you've been doing something incorrectly.
