I've had the opposite experience. I've been using the Shave Secret for a few months now. What I've found is that I have to give the razor a really good rinse to de-gunk and then I used a technique that somebody else on the forum wrote about (Was it Warhawk? I think so.) which involves spraying the blades with rubbing alcohol between passes. It seems that if there is any oil from the SS left on the blades that the alcohol kills any bacteria that might be residing in it. I was told once that the bacteria is what actually causes damage to the blades. I have had the same HB Triple in my Sport for the last 2.5-3 weeks shaving every other day. So that's 10 or 11 complete shaves without feeling the need to change carts. I think the alky is the secret.
While i agree that the oil does gum up the razors a bit,i still get 5-7 shaves out of each Bic Sensor razor.Thats pretty good for both my face and scalp. And a 6pk of razors at Walgreens sets me back $3.99.So i figure $5 a month for razors and headslick,etc.Not too shabby.I'm seriously considering the Panasonic 8077 Linear shaver though.After watching that demo of it,i would like to try it out.Jim
I've noticed this also, that's why I prefer to use Pacific Shaving Oil.
