My 3rd try with my new DE (Merkur Classic Hefty). Bathroom looked like a crime scene this morning. Blood, toilet tissue wads, me screeming from the styptic, 1/4 of my chin laying in the sink. I didn't even get a nice shave after all of that. I think I remember someone recommending a less expensive drugstore blade for beginners. ("More forgiving" was the phrase.) Does this simply mean a duller blade? Currently, I'm using (read slicing my face with) Merkurs. Should I get some cheapies or just tough it out (and get an O+ transfusion)?
Also, is it necessary to take a day off and let the one particularly bad wound heal? Is it likely to open up again tomorrow morning?
Maybe I should just grow a beard.
Thanks in advance.
