I know that I'm way late to this party, but I used DSC blades off and on for several months last year. What I found was that when I started with the 4X (mid-level, 4 blades), I found the shave to be very nice, smooth, with no irritation. After several months though, I found that the blades were inconsistent in quality. The breaking point was the morning I shaved with a brand new blade before a meeting with a customer. I had bloody spots all over my face where the razor had pulled hairs out. I tried another blade in that pack the next week, and it was slightly better, but I had the same thing happen on another package. I discontinued the service, and told them why, but I never heard anything back from them (kind of a pet peeve of mine). I followed up with them again earlier this year asking about their quality control and if it had improved. They actually apologized to me this time and sent me a free month's worth of blades. They were okay, but I did not feel like I was getting a very close shave, so I'm looking around for my next razor...
I used a DE when I first started shaving my face. That was about forty years ago, though, so I really don't remember what kind of results I got. Although I've been BBC for almost two years now, I'm not sure I'm ready to try a DE up top.

I have recently started doing it and so far havent sliced anything off LOL
