Hey all, I got introduced to wet shaving this past Christmas when I was gifted a DE owned by my great grandfather. I used it for several months and then bought a SR from the classified section, now with 40 or so SR shaves under my belt and no nicks I switched back to the DE this morning only to get two small nicks under my nose. Nothing concerning but annoying none the less. I find this usually happens on the first shave with DE blades regardless of brand, will this effect be mitigated by corking the blades? Also after corking I assume I should rinse the blade to remove any cork residue correct? I love the SR but would like the option of using a DE for travel and when time is pressed--
