My 17 yr old granddaughter won’t let her father, Ben use OS or AV cause it makes him smell like G-Pop! Sometimes you just have to put your foot down!
I would say to use DE blades that are mild to medium in aggressiveness since you would be new to DE razors. Derby blades are mild. I would say Astras are medium or just over medium, but nowhere near as sharp as Kai and Feathers.
Clint, my daughter was the same way! She has a Clinical Psych PhD, and hit age 28 and everything changed.
I bought into the Feather blade hype until I shaved with one. Proper technique and they are no more likely to cause cuts or irritation than any other blade. Poor technique and any blade can cause cuts and irritation. It would be tough to convince me that someone got a nick because of a Feather that they wouldn't have got with another blade. If you're not comfortable using them, don't use them but they are nothing to be intimidated by. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk
