Not tried too many blades but thanks to a kind PIF by Northam Saint have been able to shave with these for a week or so now. I liked these so much that I have ordered 50 of ebay - was able to get a close, smooth shave.
I'm sure that my search for the 'best' blade is far from over (does it ever end?) But it is gopod to know that I'll have a supply of a good blade for a few months.

A good solid performing blade that has made it into my blade stash.
Haven't found a razor yet that these don't worked well in.

just had my first shave with these today. there now my favourite blades smooth and sharp not rough on the first shave with each blade like my experience with tiger blades.
no cuts either sometimes i think if someone came in the bathroom when i was shaving they'd think it was a suicide attempt :lol:
will order 120 when my 6 packs runout
superb blades imo :shave

Me too, in fact they're my absolute favourite. Somehow it's not fashionable to like the greens but they're the best and most consistently smooth blade I've ever tried.
Yellows come a close second.

I used a yellow a couple of days ago for the first time, gave me the best shave I've had since I started shaving properly(with DE razor), that said it is only the 3rd or 4th make of blade I've tried but it was 
still very impressive

With the yellow blades, it feels as if every single hair is being individualy plucked out! The green blades are totally different, smooth :shave

Does anyone find the Yellow's glue spots turn dark brown after a day or two in the razor? Leaves some residue on the razor that looks like rust but can be scratched off

I remove the glue spots with the old blade that im replacing.
Not to sound like im pushing anything on the BST, but for those that get on with the Yellows, i would highly recommend the Bleues that are going for a good price there at the moment.

Remember there are 2 types of green - Indian and Russian... two very different beasts indeed.

All blades are worth trying - just because 99 of 100 other people think they're shite, doesn't mean you will think so...

Russian Greens? Da comrade, da. They're the ones with "Super Stainless" on the blade and pack, and the Petersburg Products address label. Same production line as the yellows.
The Indian greens are marked "Permasharp" and have no Russian address on the box. They actually get good some reviews over at B+B but I've never liked them.
You can PM me an address and I'd be happy to send you a box or two of the Petersburg "Super Stainless", I buy a hundred at a time. You just missed a big PIF of surplus!
Otherwise just buy some off eBay, there is a good seller on there who sells the greens. He supplies me with all of mine, give us a shout if you can't spot the obvious bargain on there.
