So after finally putting together my gear and getting enough stubble I shaved with my safety razor for the first time this morning.
I used the red tip Gillette Superspeed I posted a picture of in another thread. I only had one blade, it being a Merkur blade (the one that comes with a merkur razor).
I only nicked myself once but it wasn't bad and I still nick myself every so often with the Quattro I've been using for a while so I don't consider it a big deal.
But my face was so irritated. After a third pass I still had a lot of stubble and it was hurting too bad to keep on going so I had to pull the Quattro out to finish and that hurt also.
I don't have the greatest shave this morning . I'm going to order the sampler pack of blades from West Coast later today and see if changing blades helps.
