Thread: Quick DE Question

Hi Brent,

Yep, a blade sampler's the best idea. No need for one with 15-20 different blades, but you do want 4-5 of the more popular brands included. Something with Crystals and/or Red Personnas, maybe the Derby, some Super Iridiums and maybe a Feather for down the road.

Far as the Merkur blade goes, that's the one I started with myself years ago. Nasty little blade for me, but I had no way of knowing that. Some people like those but most don't. They're best tried after using other blades, so you can compare em properly.

I'd suggest using the same type blade for two weeks straight and then switch to another. You'll have to try a bunch to figure out the best ones, but won't have to use one for nearly as long as the first ever blade.

I have some Iridiums you're welcome to try. They're very sharp but you still have plenty of room for error with these. Let me know if that interests you.
