Hi all,
I did a bit of blade experimentation last night with the derbys that came with my DE89, and the Astras that came with the rest of the kit. The Astras felt a bit sharper, and i got through the shave a bit quicker, and - here's the cool bit - much less irritation and no nicks. Are the derbys generally not as sharp as others? Obviously I'm still very new at this, but all I know is I won't be using the 4 remaining Derby blades!
