I think I'm done with blades...

[Deleted member 1881]

As the title suggests, I won't chase another blade to see how it shaves, simply because I hate dragging, poor WTG first pass and not enough sharpness in general.

So... In no particular order;

I have tried almost every blade,nothing seemed to be as sharp & smooth as these above for me. If I forgot any other blade that could be in the same squad with these, please add it. (I'm waiting a GSB of course,but for me it is not as sharp as these.)

Sorry for the big pics, for the last one, that it is made in Greece, @Kevy can confirm...

PS All the blades were tested on my 7 days of growth with same soap & the same razor (Rockwell 6c Gunmetal #6, #5)

I prefer Gillette Nacet, Polsilver and Wizamet SI

My blade choice isn't listed Gillette Platinum's.

Feather does the job for me, and they have another attribute that is seldom mentioned, they are made to tighter tolerances and fit with less play in razors that have alignment pins instead of slots. You will have fewer alignment issues. They are also slightly wider from cutting edge to cutting edge, which will liven up some of the milder razors.

My choice would be Gillette Silver Blues but they aren't listed.

[Batch300]

Personna Med Prep
- seem to work well in my diffrent razors
- 150 blades in my den (purchased a box of 250 and then another 50+),

Nacet if it had to be only one. I have GSB and Astra SP as backup but Nacets cut the closest. Never tried Feather, probably should but I have enough blades (250+) incluing around 40 Yellows which aren't shabby.

You should revise the listing to include GSB since it's a popular choice. You should also change "Astor" to Astra SP.

I added the Astra SP but it seems I can't add any more blades.

Wizamet SI for me (but not in the list)

I didn't know Astor was a blade - I thought it was a misprint. You could change that to Gillette Silver Blue, much more popular.

I voted feather as it suits the razors I like (asd2 and pils).

However I love rapiras too, and quite like the astra platinums.

Voted Nacet, but Polsilver SI are a close second. Nacets don't work in every razor I have but are great value compared to the current Polsilver price. Was looking through my shave ratings last night and while I use these a lot less, Astra SS, Astors and 7 O'Clock Blacks are also up there

Still haven't used a Feather. Have 7 of them, but don't see the need

Personna med preps have been my go-to for years, smooth, sharp, no f'ing glue.
