Mainly because I was dismissing them as a cheaper blade and thus, lower quality. Perhaps they are.
After a good three pass BBS shave, I had absolutely no burn whatsoever! I was amazed!!
Three shaves since and all is still great.
I can now see how people get stuck on a certain blade. The difference was remarkable.
I'm still going to look at other blades to see if I can get even better, but a least I feel like I'm finally getting somewhere.
Thanks again everyone for all the suggestions! I've really appreciated it!!
