Welcome, Rodney. I'm sorry to hear you've been bitten; there is no cure and the ADs are sometimes debilitating. Sounds like you're off to a good start with your blade. Did you also order a strop? That's as important a piece of gear as the blade itself.

A second blade is an easy thing to argue for, a third blade a little less so, and at the same time you're picking out your fourth one you should admit that you have a problem. I don't know how many I have. Way more than seven. And I keep meaning to sell some off.

There are guys here who have a razor a day for a year. There are guys here who claim they don't have a problem. It takes all sorts, and they're all good guys. You've come to the right place. Read lots, ask lots of questions, and share your adventure with us.

I hope you manage to slow your careen before you put the blade to your face the first time.

Oh, and that blade will arrive honed and stropped and ready to shave. Do not strop it before the first time you shave with it. That way you'll be sure to experience the blade at its best. It's pretty easy for new users to damage the blade in their early stropping attempts. Read up on stropping, too, and practice with a butter knife so you can lay in some muscle memory before going for the real thing. Be sure that your flip comes AFTER you've reversed direction on the strop.

Best wishes and happy shaving to you.
