    It's apparently important to recognize when you need to change your blade for a new one. I have the shredded face to prove it.... After I switched to a new blade, I stopped causing other bloody spots to appear....

    Happened to me in the beginning, once I finished experimenting with all types of DE blades I rarely push any blade past 3-4 shaves.

    Yup I learned that lesson the hard way too. I tried to squeeze just one more shave out of a blade and destroyed my face. Only i was too stubborn to switch in a new blade until I was done shaving. From now on it's three shaves and I toss them.
