Looks like i might as well just put up with it, it is a far better shave than the derby blades(both gillete and feather) and i prefer the cream to soap. I go with the grain one pass, against the grain and then with the grain again...sometimes i will go against the grain twice. It doesn't really irritate my face that much. Shame i need to wait until i look scruffy before i can get a close shave, but i will just need to persevere and hope for the best. And i must say those videos posted by Mantics59 are brilliant.
Cheers!
