I'm having trouble with My professional Super Blades. They are not sharp enough. Everyone keeps saying that feather makes the Absolute Sharpest Blades, but the Professional Super's are stopped dead in their tracks by a single strand of stubble on my face. I have to use considerable force (more than I would would ever want to) to get through the first pass. The second pass is not so bad, but the first pass REQUIRES that I 'push' the blade along.
These blades pass the hanging hair test, but even well-prepared my beard just stops 'em dead in their tracks. Did I get a bad batch of blades, or is it just me? The Feather DE blades in my Gillette just glide through the whiskers, but these Artist Club blades just won't cut it. Pretty uncomfortable shave.
Off-Topic: Mama Bear's soap (dragon's blood), I can't get any Lubrication out of it. Nice lather, but no lubrication. Anyone Else? Just bad technique on my part?
