I am about 1 month into my new hobby of DE wet shaving and can honestly say I really look forward to my morning shaves. Up to this point I had been using Personnas in my EJ DE89L razor, with TOBS Lavender cream and Thayers Witch Hazel as AS. All of it worked wonderfully well and I was really getting very close to that BBS shave with each weeks improvement in technique.
However, this morning I loaded up a Crystal blade from my WCS sample pack and went about the rest of my normal prep and routine. That blade seemed to chew me up. My neck and cheeks burn a bit and I had a couple blood spots, which I never experienced before with my Personnas. Since I didn't change anything else, I am guessing that the blade is either just wrong for my skin, or that it may have been a bad blade?
I am going to give it a second chance tomorrow, but am a bit hesitant considering today's results and am considering loading up a Personna again.
