Run the spine of the blade across a wet part of your face on the other side. If you get a reaction, then you are having a galvanic skin reaction to the metal. If no reaction then run the spine of the blade across a soaped area of your face in a third spot. I guess we know that is going to react, but if the other two tests above don't react then this will prove it is a reaction between the metal, soap, and your skin - changing soaps might be the answer.
Genius - thank you! I will try this.
