**elkabon** · 08-12-2006, 03:33 PM

Hello Everyone! I am a Newbie and this is the first time i am posting here. I hope i am posting in the right forum, if not, i apologize and please send this post to the correct forum! I have very sensitive, smooth skin. i have tried two double edge safety razors that i bought at a dollar plus store. one is a Lord Safety Razor Price $1.99 and a Beter(Not Feather) Safety Razor also $1.99. I think that both of these razors are from China. I used Beter(Again Not Feather) and Wilkinson Classic Sword Double Edge Blades. The shaves i got were terrible! Nics, Cuts, Burns, Etc; Etc. (I have very, soft, smooth, sensitive skin). I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can send me #1) A list of Safety Razors(Double and/or Single Edge) that are very good for people with very sensitive skin. #2) A list of Double and/or Single Edge Blades for the Same Sensitive Skin Problems. I Thank You All In Advance, and Hope You Reply To This Post, elkabon

I am from Hialeah, Florida. This is the first time i have ever posted in a Badger & Blade Forum. Why is the name Ex-Lurker below my name?

The title is a default title that everyone gets when they "stop lurking" and join the fun!

it will change as you make more posts did you get a chance to read any of the links above? were they helpful in your questions?
