I am going through a blade rotation, and these just aren't the blades for me and my face. With 3 days growth, the blade tugged a bit on my whiskers. However, in the end, the result of the first shave was great. Unfortunately, the blade's performance seemed to get noticeably worse with each shave. By the third shave, I was getting way too much tugging. I think one of my requirements for a blade will be the ability to last at least 3 shaves.
