    Default Important Question

    Are Derby razor blades ideal for straight razor shaving? I use them and I wonder if they're sharp enough. I use a new blade every time. It drags on the hair causing cuts. If there's a better changeable blade please enlighten me.

    If they're just de blades then the feather may be better. No experience with the disposable type straights but i use feathers in my merkur. They may be so sharp that they become harsh though. Are you sure it's not your prep or lather, or maybe even angle of attack? I can't imagine that a derby wouldn't be sharp enough.
