Hey...
Before I found this forum in July, I relied on Amazon reviews for my purchases.
My first razor was the mild Meckur long handle. With that I got 100 Personna Blues.
Not knowing that this could have been a big mistake in buying so many , it worked out fine.
With a couple more razor purchases , included were different brand blades.
I got some Sharks and Astras.
With many good reviews on the Astras , I couldn't wait to try it.( I almost went and bought the 100 pack when Amazon had them for $8, but didn't)
Anyway , I loaded it into my just purchased Gillette New LC and enjoyed the shaves until...DAY 5
OMG , it just tugged and pulled its way across my face. I thought I didn't have enough lather but that didn't help either. I went to work with the most disappointed shave since I started.
Using the Personna's , the most days I went was 6 and I think it could have gone longer.
Has anyone experienced this when trying out blades?
Mike
