I have just finished my 6th DE shave ever and it was my best. My first two shaves were the only time I nicked myself or experienced razorburn. Anyway, I have a sample pack of razors (Crystal, Personna Red, Astra SP, Feather, Derby). I have strictly used Derby extra for all my shaves, changing the blade every 3 shaves. The problem I have is a feel like the derby doesn't feel smooth or comfortable for me. Its also hard to reduce my beard hair without have to go ATG which causes irritation. So should I stick with Derby blade for the next couple shaves or has it been long enough for me to venture out a little. I know your supposed to stick with the same setup for awhile, but I guess i'm a little impatient to try another blade to feel the difference. If you guys do think I can try another blade out of the sampler which would you recommend for me to be my 2nd blade to try. I was thinking Astra SP or Crystal?
Side Note: I noticed today I forgot to use my alumblock and had far less skin irritation. Does anyone not use an alum block due to skin issues?
