best blades for the various types of facial hair

I realize that now too. It took nearly 17 months, and hundreds of dollars on different razors and blades, but I'm glad I figured it out. I still get some lower neck irritation, but I'm not sure that can be corrected with any razor because of the crazy pattern my hair grows in.

As I have traveled this journey I've gone through a number of razors and blades and these are the combinations that currently work best for me. The Weber razors with a wizamet Super Iridium is my best DE pairing, with a Feather or Gillette Black blades in a tie for a reasonably close second option. The King Cobra with Feather Professional blades provide me a great shave and have earned a permanent place in the rotation. I keep a Fatboy adjustable and Redtip with the Weber and King Cobra razors. Not always a BBS shave with the vintage Gillette razors but always a DFS. The soap selection will influence the ease of achieving a better 3 pass shave with any of the aforementioned setups.
