Try in another razor but remember not all blades work for all people, good luck.I have used a few SuperMax blades, and have yet to find one that agrees with me. There have been better and worse amongst them, and none have been truly unusable, but none (not even Blue Diamonds) have been anything other than bottom-tier for me. They all seem prickly to my face.
It seems to be universally agreed that blades are the most YMMV part of the hobby, but also that different blades suit different razors, so maybe it's that that's the problem - I always use a Wilkinson Sword (plastic) Classic razor for initial blade evaluation. Would I have more luck using a Tech/DE89/something exotic?
I'm hoping I can find a solution soon, not least because I have another batch inbound (including the Ninja blades @pjgh seems so taken by). Can you help?

However, I'm coming to appreciate that if a blade doesn't work well in one's razor of choice, it can be best to move those blades on.
Just an off the cuff opinion, but I often question my own intelligence for straying away from tried & true modern Gillette blades. I am 100% sure that nothing else currently made will top them with only the Personna Blue and the Bic DE blades perhaps equaling the aforementioned. But, I also understand the desire to wander off the "reservation" and explore different stuff.
