..... was probably wrong! When I first got into using a safety razor I tested out quite a few different blades but found that Feathers were the only ones that gave me a smooth non-irritating shave. After having some trouble with Feather blades recently I decided to try out some of my left over sample blades. A couple of the blades I rejected at first for being too rough and dull (Gillette Silver Blue and 7 o'clock green) turned out fine this time around! They turned out so fine in fact that I order 100 Silver Blues the day after I tried one.
I can only figure that when I was starting out my technique was so poor that I wasn't giving the samples a decent test. Needless to say I will be testing out more blades in the future! (Except Shark that is...)
