Review on Merkur Razor Double Edge Razor Blades by Steph Washington

I've recently gotten very frustrated with all the multi-blade plastic razors and decided to go back to the old dual-blade safety razor that I've been using for years. I got a nice new one and went for some premium blades to give him a better workout. It was a disaster. I have very fine hair and a nice, soft, thick beard that I trim weekly. Those Mercur blades are too aggressive. I have cut myself several times (which I have never done before) leaving very severe lacerations on my cheeks and neck. I let it sit for a week and then tried out one of the soft blades that came with the new razor. I had a very close and comfortable shave. MY BAD I should have gone for soft blades. I'm not giving these blades the worst rating because I'm sure they're really good for someone with a rough and wiry beard. However, if you have fine beard hair, choose a softer blade.
