Hey! So I've been using a DE razor for a few weeks now, and my shaves have been pretty close, but I am getting nicks and razor burn no matter how little pressure I apply. I don't think I have sensitive skin because cartridge razors never gave me any major issues.
I have a beard so I only shave my neck. I wouldn't say my hair is very thick, but it is coarse. The issue I think I'm having is that I am always getting tugging when I go against, or even across the grain--even after two passes with the grain.
I started with Derby Extra blades, and I'm using a RazoRock Lupo .72. I thought the Derby's might be too dull, so I got some Astra SPs, which seem a bit sharper, I guess, but haven't really improved anything. I still get tugging.
I don't fully understand the mild/aggression as it affects the quality of the shave. I'm not sure if my hair type is suited for a particular blade/razor combination or what...
Thanks very much for sharing any knowledge on this topic!
