Hi
Sorry if this question has been asked a million times before.
I have just started DE shaving, and the setup that I got included 100 Derby Extra blades. They seem to be doing an ok job on my cheeks and chin, but my neck gets red and blotchy after each shave.
I realise that it is likely to be a result of newbie bad technique, but after reading some comments on these forums, can't help but wonder whether the blades might at least be partly to blame.
One of the local-ish suppliers offers sampler packs of blades; one pack has:
Astra SP
Astra SS
Shark
Rapira Platinum
Big Ben
Derby Extra
Another has:
Feather
Bozano Superinox
Croma
Gillette 7 oclock
Polsilver
Polsilver super iridium
I can't afford to get both at the moment, and was hoping that there might be a consensus about which would be the better of the two to get to try find out whether it is actually a blade issue.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be most appreciated.
regards
Sean
