    Why? With a DE you have (2X) as many chances for a good shave. ;)

    all I will say is that my experience with shark and dorco was not good.I just tried a polsilver and it was a step up from my usual derby green blades.Very smooth and low irritation.I like.

    2x as many edges to cut yourself with... SE is half as dangerous!

    Well, it was a mixed bag. Took down my thick beard like a champ and no nicks/cuts; however, I did get some bumps. Probably technique related though. Since I have switched from my 34c to a Gillette Fat Handle Tech. I have been getting much better shaves with that razor; so, I may try a Feather in this one and hope for better results.

    My favorite is the Astra SP, but a couple of weeks ago I tried a Voskhod in my slant razor. It started out too sharp, but it has gotten better after a few shaves. My least favorite was a Wilkinson Sword blade.
