I had to bust out the styptic pencil on my neck this morning and my face is burning.
I'm getting through my second week of DE shaving with a Merkur HD using Merkur Platinum blades and I'd like to offer these observations.
The Merkur blade really tugs! I prep well enough, take my time, and make sure I've got cream where I draw the blade but so far I am finding these blades to be a tugging bumpy experience on my beard, particularly under my chin and neck XTG or ATG. I'm wondering if this is universal.
I shave daily and get a BBS pretty much, but today I am feeling the burn. I've got 4 more of these Merkur platinum's to try and then it's on to another one from my letterk sampler, my Wilkinson Swords, or my Gillettes. I'm thinking I'll try the Dorco's next as per westcoastshaving.com's suggestions.
