I`m really surprised...
I`ll give a bit of chronology...
I had great success right out of the box using the Super Speed, Adjustable Slim set to #2, and a Tech, all with Walmart, German made Wilkinson blades. I`d get one weeper at the most during a shave, but they were usually blood free.
It was though suggested to me that I try other blades to see if something may work even better. I tried Dorcos, fine, no nicks or weepers to any degree, but not so smooth. Can say the same about Sharks. I then got some Bluebirds and WOW, noticeably much smoother, would just glide across the face, and I decided after about a week that they are my blade. I stocked up with 100. But now all of the sudden I`m getting weepers right and left all around my face and neck. And the problem has persisted across three different blades, all from the same pack. I`ve over several days tried to analyze my technique but can`t see what I may have started doing differently. And, today was the last straw. My neck was so littered with weepers using my mildest razor, the Tech, that I`m forced to take a couple of day break for healing. The Bluebird is now on the sidelines until further notice... If anyone has any theories as to cause and effect, or related experiences to share, I`d be pleased to hear them. Thank you a lot.
