So... I've been trying to get my head around various Gillette blades - constantly finding new ones that are offered by them, so thought starting a thread about them might be quite good (especially for newbies like me).
Due to the amount of potential choice, it's kinda hard to get my head around what potentially are differences between them (obviously YMMV - I might end up posting my experiences with them in this thread too) as well as where they come from.
The one's I know/managed to find some information about are:
Some seem to be more popular than others (especially PPI blades). If you know of any others, do let me know and I'll add them to the list - it's partially for my own use to see what other blades I have on list to experience.
At the moment I only tried the Nacet and Gillette 7o'clock black (only one shave, it's waiting to be used next two times), so looking forward to giving some more a try. Got a pack of rubies, SharpEdge, silver blue, platinum (new), Perma sharp, winner Platinum, wilkinson sword, london bridge and shanghai super thin platinums, so plenty to get started with!
