Hello. I use a Wilkinson Sword Classic(the black version). I use it with the Gillette Platinum: https://www.barbierit.ro/produs/lame-gillette-platinum-set-3-pachete/261 and the Gillette Stainless: https://www.barbierit.ro/produs/lame-gillette-stainless-set-3-pachete/262. I get irritation on the neck and below the jaw when going against the grain on the third pass. I tried Astra Superior Platinum blades and got even worse irritation. What sample pack would be best for me?
Unfortunately only your face can answer that. I know that there are blades I like that others detest. There are blades others like that just don't work for me. Even when it comes to blades A, B, and C that are claimed to be similar, I can like A and C, while someone else only likes B and C. Just gotta try 'em for yourself.
When I was in the phase of sampling different blades, I didn't find that the order of use mattered. I chose them with help from my friends Eenie, Meenie, Minie & Moe.
