Question for the blade gurus out there. I shave everyday with a Feather AS-D2 and have tried various blades without incident. Well, until trying GSBs. They absolutely torn my neck to shreds. My favorite blades so far are Voskhods and Polsilver SI. Feathers tend to make my neck just a tad pink (very slight irritation probably due to the sharpness) and I think I might be the only person on the planet that thinks Personna med preps are not that smooth. I say this to give you an idea out what my skin tolerates best.
Ill say, the GSBs made shaving effortless. They are smooth as silk but I can't figure out why they tore me up like they did. Nothing about my shave was changed using them and I get consistent BBS with Voskhods and Polsilvers. GSBs would easily be my go to blade if I could prevent the burn but it just don't seem worth it. Honestly, the 'feel' sharper to me than Feathers.
Is is this all in my head or are GSBs pretty aggressive and wickedly sharp? I wish I could make them work. Thanks in advance for the help.
