I think I am coming to a conclusion but wondering if anyone else feels the same. when I shave with a coated blade (astra SP for example)the feel and sound of the shave seems smoother but I also seem to get more irritation and minor cuts.
When I use a regular stainless blade that is not coated, the sound and feel of the blade through the razor feels rough, sounds hollow etc but I seem to get a better shave overall with non coated blade.
so basically the shaving experiencing feels better with a coated blade but the end result seems better with a non-coated regular stainless steel blade. I know YMMV but wondering how many others feel the same way .
