Don't forget SADSACK which is the practice of posting pics of lather.
I shave daily.How often do you shave?
Two weeks is really good then!I shave daily.
Are you talking 7 o'clock SharpEdge Yellow Pack? If so, they are smoother than GSB, just not as sharp. Like most, I find them to be a very comfortable blade. They will usually last longer than GSB too.
I also assumed that the GSBs were over-hyped. I really like this blade. I find it a safe 'go to' when trying unknown razors. I've consistently had good shaves with GSBs. There are other blades that get a closer shave for me but none that get such a good result so comfortably. Close to zero Alum feedback. Don't get me wrong, I still do love the occasional stinging finish from the sharper blades (assuming I've avoided leaving my face looking like a smacked ar*e!) but these are just so comfortable. Is it all in my mind? Maybe, but it's justified a mass purchase of them!

Hi Dave I bought 20 of them initially in a 'Russian Sharp' 100 sample pack from Gemstone:From what I've tried, GSBs hit the sweet spot in terms of the fact that the sharpest blades leave my face very irritated for a an hour or two afterwards, and the duller ones don't cut well enough & I so end up going over areas too much thus becoming irritated anyway. I'm very close to bulk buying some. Where did you get yours, as I've never bought in bulk before ?
Connaught Shaving have them too and they are a great supplier.From what I've tried, GSBs hit the sweet spot in terms of the fact that the sharpest blades leave my face very irritated for a an hour or two afterwards, and the duller ones don't cut well enough & I so end up going over areas too much thus becoming irritated anyway.

Connaught have the older double wrapped NOS ones.
Something about them which may or may be an issue is that they have 4 glue spots, and sometimes the glue spots can be on the edge of the blade.
Thanks. Didn't know any different to be honest. Every GSB I've had has been double wrapped with awful glue dots on. How do you know which GSB you're getting when you order?!
I think recent ones are no longer double wrapped and only have 2 glue spots in the middle of the blades.

When you open the tuck. New ones have laser etched logos on the blades & aren't double wrapped. They shave the same however. As regards the wax dots, merely hold the loaded razor under the hottest water your sink will run for a minute and they will melt. No big deal and no need for hysterics.
