back when I tried DE shaving for a while, I wasnt a big fan of them. there are several kinds though - I think Platinum are the best. but I will say that they are reasonably well-regarded. they are made in Egypt.
The Merkur that i used first worked wonderfully. I put in a Lord blade, and holy razor burn batman.:overkill:
I'll try the higher grade lord blades next, but man i know what you guys mean when you say that all blades are not created equal.
I'm not even gonna go near Feather blades for a while.
Salazch,
The choice of blades for DEs is very personal.
Very much a matter of one persons meat is another persons poison !
A blade sampler pack is a most useful thing to have.
I found Merkur blades to be OK; Lords very not OK
I rarely use a DE these days, but when I do I use Feathers, Astra Superior, Russian Gillette 7 o'clocks & Iridium Supers.
have fun !
best regards
Russ
