For the last 10 shaves i have been using a 40s SS Black Tip and it has been a pain in the arse every shave.
Previously i had used a FT SS for best part of a couple of months and got on with it pretty well and before that was the 34 & 38C - ditto.
Todays shave was the last straw to be honest with another couple of nicks.I have used Astra's (blade of choice) and Iridiums with the same results and have used the same brush (404) and soap (tabac) through out.
My skin began looking more my like my 16 year old sons, rather than it's usual picture of smooth yet rugged manliness, so tonight it was time for a change.
Rather than move to one of the other *checks wife can't see* dozen or so gillettes i have in my stash, i got out my 34C (38C sold on BST), put in a new Iridium and did a 2 pass blood free shave!
As the razor in question was best described as user grade, i am hoping that it was shagged and that's what the problem was, as i love the look of 40s SS and would be disappointed if they turned in to my Nemesis.
Anyone else had similar problems?
