Yeah, DE + the process that typically goes with it (brush, shave soap, lathering it up, etc…) can do wonders to reduce the irritation.
With that said, I even found that shaving in the shower with normal hair conditioner and a DE was a better experience than the 5 bladed razors with the shave gel
OP - The blades are so cheap you can use a new one every time if you wanted (you don’t need to, but you can)
Looks fine for me with mobile app, Interstellar, fwiw, not even a little bit blurry.
