I have chosen this format for easy of development. If you find any glaring issues, please contact me by PM and if it needs correction I will make any necessary changes.
Thank you for your review.
Canuck said:I really admire your work ethic. I know that this was your own experiment to determine your own preferences, I just hope not too many people see it as a sort of one stop reference guide to that perennial "which blade is best" question. As you probably agree with, I'm not sure there can ever be a one-glance table that tells new shaver "Mr X" which blade to pick.
My own system is shave, think (did I like that?) and then bin or keep, or order more, but congratulations on a very thorough labour of love.
Oh and PS: I did find just one small correction if you're interested:
On the Gillette 7 o'clock Super Platinum (black packaging) you said : "Note that the same packaging is used for the Gillette 7 O'CLOCK Super Platinum blades made in St. Petersburg Russia which can cause identification issues".
It's not quite the same packaging, same design of print but the Russian ones are a dark to mid blue colour... they can look nearly black in pictures but it's much clearer in person that they are blue.
The Indian black ones have very often got a red flash telling you there's a free blade in the box.

Excellent round up, I have bookmarked it for future reference.
