I have been using Straights for the last few months, but I also have a DE for those days when I don't have time for the whole ritual. Today was one of those days. I put a new Feather DE in my vintage Gillette adjustable, set to 7 and went to it. Light pressure, skin stretched, nice and easy, yada, yada. I finish and and I can start to see blood in a few different areas of my face. Apparently the blade I used had some sort of defect and tore me to shreds. Glad I only had time for one pass.
Anyone else ever have this? Do I need to inpect each blade before I use them?
