Which ones do you rate?
GOLDCREST said:Then along comes the internet and there are literally dozens of different blades available..
GOLDCREST said:Could we do with a list of blades on here with user grading and star ratings??....What do you think?....not sure how it would work ........but is it possible.....Or is there one already that I haven't found yet?
Oh yes, I'm sure Gi/////ette is working hard at getting those booming economies convinced of the "benefits" of the next generation of multiple blade cartridges. :icon_rolleyes:Johnus said:I'm sure that someone is thinking right now how to get it started!
I put together a spreadsheet with my findings (it's where I got the above list) but there was a lack of interest because,as Treb said, different people like different ones. I mainly use it to remind myself which of the more obscure ones were good! If you are interested, though, it's here but I haven't kept it up to date: http://www.theshavingroom.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=3950GOLDCREST said:Could we do with a list of blades on here with user grading and star ratings??....What do you think?....not sure how it would work ........but is it possible.....Or is there one already that I haven't found yet?
No problem. Glad it may be of use to you!GOLDCREST said:Thanks for that NTS...i've finally managed to get a look at your document....I'm not the most computer literate person you'll ever meet so it took me a while,but I got there in the end......
I will have a look at it in depth later....It looks to be very thorough and very useful,I'll see if I can add my own humble findings from my old fashioned "notebook"........................... fascinating stuff this shaving.
You're right of course...blades do behave differently in different razors ...add to that the possible soap combinations...and the possibilities are infinite..........
Thanks again.
