So I am getting into the groove with my Gillette 1-9 slim, yesterdays shave consisted of me being cheap and not wanting to put in a new personna blade.. So I dug the just discarded DE blade out of the container I'm saving the blades in.. for just one more shave. Using Barbasol w/aloe "in can" I get a pretty good shave the blade seemed to really be holding up nice...maybe just my technique "not rushed".. after wards I really had to hydrate my face as it looked like lamp shade leather.
Today I break down and get a new personna blade.. same routine and cut the crap out of my face. Would the new blade have been bad to start with ?
I almost put the old blade back in "4 shaves" on it.
What do you guys think ? I read a post yesterday from from someone saying they do something to the new DE blades like polish it or give it 10 ? not sure but sounded like they were polishing the DE blade before using it.. Are these blades prone to being flawed or is it just likely me.?
(Never mind the below question, I found a specific forum for this one)
Also on another note, any recommendations on a non scented after shave that will hydrate and not stink up the place.. the wife hates girlie smelling frangrences on me..and it seems that the three I bought are all scented and now in the trash.. except the old spice, I hid it?
