Hi everyone. This is my first question on this forum. I started wet shaving for nearly a month now. My gear consists of a Merkur HD razor, and a sample pack. As for the software I enjoy using Speick stick or cream. But there's more to try. So far I've tried the HD with Derbys, IP(Crystal) and Super Iridiums. I was wondering. What's the blade that you use with the HD. Since many people have a HD , I'm expecting lots of input on this topic. Thank you!
Just started using Red Personna's (Israeli's), many have suggested using the Iridiums Supers, ordered some last night to give them a try. Happy shaving.
I started with the HD, and it still may be my favorite. There will be many opinions i'm sure; what is most important is what works for you. I had started with Persona Red, Derby, Astras, Kai, Merkur, 7 O'clock Sharp Edge, Feather, 7 O'clock Super Platinum, maybe a couple others I don't remember. For me, my two favorite blades for any DE razor I have are Feather and 7 O'Clock Super Platinum. I typically do two passes and touch up, and I can get 7 days out of a Feather,,,,, maybe 3-5 days out of the 7 O'Clock. I primarily use Feathers at home and keep the 7 O'Clocks in my travel bag. Good luck, Moe
I'm really liking Astras and Dorco ST-301s. By the way, welcome to the Den. Come often, stay long, share much!
Tried Astras today. Good blade indeed. But I got minor burn, but that is due to improper technique. I will try again tommorow. Thanx
