Have any of you had a razor that you really liked, saw many benefits including a smooth, painless shave? But, for some reason, you find that weeper. Maybe you don't find the dried up blood until you are in the bathroom at work. What did you do? Continue or hang it up?

Usually has more to do with the blade combo for me. Feathers tend to nick me more frequently in other blades unless I'm using them in my NEW Deluxe. That razor loves those blades.

My other top blades all seem to perform well across all of my razors. When I was experimenting with blades, generally if I was getting weepers, I could switch to another known-good blade brand and I'd be fine.

I got this with the Maggard slanthead and a vintage Merkur pollopas diagonal. The Maggard can nick when pressure is applied, no pressure and the shave is grand. The vintage Merkur diagonal the corners of the blade stick out somewhat and can bite you. Still, a lot of fn shaving with those two.

I would not consider any razor "good" if it consistently gives you nicks, as long as your technique is solid.

I agree that the pressure, or lack thereof is the key. In addition, how can you trust something named "pollopas." Rolleyes
