Which blades are deemed very sharp?

[Big.Dave]

I was just wondering which makes of blade are very sharp?

I know that Feathers are top of the list but what others would be in that list?

7 o'clock, the Russian flavours. Yellow (Sharpedge) and green (Super Stainless).

 

[Big.Dave]

I've used the Russian 7 O'clock yellows and I do like them and yes I'll agree very sharp compared to my personna's .
I will look out for the greens.

Few more shaper ones for me are Bolzano, BIC's & Permasharps.

These are great blades for me. I like them sharp!

Sharks (SS & SC), & Asco Blue & Reds - all are from Lord.

I find "RAZOR" blades to be very sharp :blush:

Add Gillette Super Thins to that list...

Gillette Bleue and Platinum. You can still get them. And the Indian black Super Platinum

I also like the Gillette super thins, I dont see a massive difference between those and the feather, but the feather is just a bit sharper, on the plus side of things I would say the gillette super thins may give you a extra one or two shaves more.

KAI, but rather difficult to obtain in meaningful numbers.:icon_cry2:

I used to use Feather blades until quite recently. Yes, they are fearsomely sharp, but for my money at least they lose their edge quite quickly. I was getting 3 shaves at the very most from them.
I now use either Green 7 o'clocks or Astra SP. The Gillette is not quite as sharp but the edge lasts longer - getting 4+ shaves from each blade.

 

[NotTheStig]

Agree totally. Can't really knock the blue (Stainless) Astras either - might not last as long as the green Astra but just as sharp in my opinion.
I also find Rapira to be very sharp but they seem to suit some razors better than others in my experience. This is offset by their very low price so I have a large stock!

Oh and if you can find them the sadly discontinued Astra Keramiks. I usually get 4 shaves at best from a decent blade like those above (not the Feathers sadly) but I've finished my fifth shave with one of these and looks like it'll still be good for a sixth. So these are sharp and last!!!
