What DE blades to use with sensitive skin?

[denys]

Hello Everybody,

I decided to try (fro the first time in my life, after 10+ years of shaving with cartridges) to shave with DE blade.

What inexpensive brand of DE blades for sensitive skin would you recommend?

thanks,

Denys

Hi Denys

Welcome to B&B!

Your question is very difficult to answer because, with blades, there's no right answer. There's a thread entitled FS (almost): DE Blade Sampler Packs and John (LetterK) had put together a blade sampler pack with five different blades. I would suggest ou buy one from him and try them all out and find out which one is best for you.

Welcome Denys!

I would suggest contacting John (LetterK) regarding the blade sampler kit. This will allow you to try out the 5 most popular DE blades. This way you will be able to find out which blade works best for you. I would give the Israelli's, Merkurs or Derbys a shot first...then try the Swedish Gillettes and Feathers.

Thank you, gentlemen, I'm going to order a sample pack from letterk.

Don't be afraid to try Feathers, they work for me and my sensitive skin.

My skin is pretty sensitive and im really happy with the Derby blades.

I have only used Derby's since I got my DE, but to quote LeisureGuy, YMMV. :)

Derbys, Feathers, Merkurs, Gillette Swedish, lots of good choices out there.
