Title: Bad Blades or coincidence?
Post by: Medic aka Rocko on January 16, 2007, 03:12:54 PM

The past two days, I've been really irritated after my shave (not me, the skin).  I've been off-schedule from work issues, and haven't gotten to shave at my usual time (about 10:30 am), instead I've shaved about noon.  Does anyone else ever experience this?  The atra on my Headblade is only about 3 days old.

Are you under more of a time crunch and rushing?  I noticed the other day that my head was irritated unlike usual.  Then I realized I shaved much quicker than usual.

I don't think I was rushing, I really didn't have anything to do after I shaved.  Actually, this happens about once a month, even when I'm not off schedule, that's why I wonder if its not just a statistic of bad blades.  I'd think that Gillette had better quality control, though.

Hmmm....I don't know man.  Anyone else have any suggestions?

Hmmmmmm.... can't say that I've ever run into bad blades from Gillette.  I typically or shave 2 or 3 times with each blade though...

OK, it wasn't the blades.  Got a fine skin on today, no irritation.  Still shaved late.  Maybe the head is used to the later time after the third day. ???
