Not as cool as NinjasBruce Lee Blades for the cool factor ...
I've yet to try my Bruce Lee blades.

That would explain it as it's definitely not fit for purpose and I could not figure how the hell it manged to get passed the approval board for production.The Tiger blade above isn't supposed to be used for shaving one's face, but for tailors to cut thread and so on. I read somewhere the first blade the Czech factory produced after Gillette sold it which was suitable for shaving one's face was the Tiger Platinum.
Nah your too busy concentrating on the Ninja and your missing out on all that heavenly glory that awaits.Not as cool as Ninjas

I was pretty unimpressed with my Ninjas, they were as thin as a rizla, and about as comfortable to shave with.Not as cool as Ninjas

Meh! Who buys these sort of blades for their performance? It's Bruce Lee! And Ninjas! Who cares how they perform?I was pretty unimpressed with my Ninjas, they were as thin as a rizla, and about as comfortable to shave with.
The Bruce Lees were more comfortable, but I'd have five o'clock shadow by lunchtime.
Funny how the good blades don't need to resort to fancy wrappers.
Also funny how I keep falling for them!
Sometimes it works - I ordered some Voskhods on a whim after seeing the mid-eighties style packaging, and they have turned out to be near the top of my blade choice. However I will accept that using the same rationale of being governed by packaging led me to the misfortune of buying a load of Sharks, which was not quite as pleasant!Yep! I'm also an absolute sucker for anything remotely off-piste but a brightly coloured pack of mediocre razor blades always catches my attention.

There really no best or worst blade
Each has the potential to be someone's most or least liked
We're only a collection of a few hundred/thousand obsessive shavers who occupy a very small corner of the Internet, who are always on the look out for the next best blade/razor/soap/cream/brush - so what do we know?
One forum member. Ulysses, @udrako seems to have the blade and razor department sorted.
At least 99% of his SOTD posts feature a DE89 & Derby Extra blade.
He does, however, have the most extensive scent collection known to man !!
Oh, aye. The scents hehe
I love it
Of the blades sold and most easily found in Brazil, Derby - for me - has the most balanced cost and benefit. And in conjunction with the DE89, it works well.
These are my favourite blades: Personna 74s, English Gillette Platinums from the mid 1960s on, and Wilkinson Swords, I think mostly from the 1980s. I don't think they have the same reputation as the Light Brigade variety but to me they are just as good as the Personna 74s and the Gillette Platinums. All three blades are really smooth and sharp and last for weeks rather than days. I don't like Merkur blades very much, I would like to get on better with German Wilkinson Swords which always seem a bit rough to me and I like Feathers for the two or three days they keep their edge.
