Hi everyone, Just looking on Ebay for DE blades and got to wondering about how much the most expensive ones people buy and whether they are worth the price.
Shipwrecked said:Andy strangely enough over the last three weeks I have been using a feather with excellent results; however this morning I decided a change of direction and load a yellow and I did notice a drag and not as close compared to the feather. Cost wise Yellow between 10-12p Feather 20-22p depending on quantity.

NotTheStig said:I've tried about 80 different blades and the most expensive were Feathers. They do give you a close shave but can br a bit harsh and wear out quickly; depends what your priorities are. I did a blade review spreadsheet (stickied in DE blades) and it'll give you an indication although I haven't referred to actual prices, just how good value they are to performance. The document is inevitably subjective but might be worth a cursory glance.
Canuck said:I think Feathers have been my most expensive at £10 for 3 packs so that's about 33p per blade. Worth it? To me, no. Absolutely not.
I really want to try Bolzano but they're similarly dear at about 34p a blade (Connaught), though there are some on eBay, albeit a pretty similar price. Too rich for me, especially as I change blade every 2 shaves.
I generally pay up to about 15p per blade for 7 o'clock yellow or green on eBay in quantities of 50-100. Worth it? Yes.

Worth it? Well they were way better than the Derbys... but not worth the premium over other blades IMO
Canuck said:And can I just say thanks publicly to JohhnyO and NottheStig for sorting me out with some Bolzanos after I posted above. I wasn't begging, honest! But I appreciate it, cheers gents.
