I never used a DE razor myself, have been a Gillette Mach5/Fusion user since 5 years.
Gillette multiblade razors were giving me quick and easy shaves, no need to take care of the strokes, and can tilt around the jaws..
It worked well in the initial years where I was shaving once in a week or so.
Ever since I have started shaving daily, I got razor burns, and in grown hair, and subsequent heat boils all the time.
I changed to a sensitive shaving foam, then to gels, different aftershave products.. but the problem is there all the time.
After some research, I decided to try a double edged safety razor, and Bombay shaving company's Kit seemed a good product to start with.
Initial 1-2 shaves were difficult, I had to use aggressive clamp to get a close shave and there were a few nicks, by 4th shave, I got used to this and Now shaving has kind of become a self care ritual every morning, also kind of gives me a ASMR feeling.
Special mention to the Aftershave gel- so soothing, I simply loved it.
Thank you BSC for introducing me to the world of DE razors.
