I've been using my new DE razor for about 10 days now, working slowly through the sample pack of blades to figure out which brand is right for me. Started with Derby (liked them, but didn't have anything to compare them to). Tried Merkur (liked them even better than the Derby, but still had so little to compare them to). For the first week of shaves, I was really comfortable - no razor burn and very nice shaves.
Today I tried a Lord. It tore me up. Five or six weepers and a batch of razor burn on my neck that still hurts over 12 hours later.
I've been using the same product, same technique, same prep and post-shave for all the blades.
Is there really that much difference from one blade to another? Is it really the case the everyone has very difference reactions to the blades? Or, is this just a case of of newbie who has inconsistent shaves and happened to tear himself up on the same day that he switched to a new brand of blade?
