I saw that this vendor sell the super-max I might want for cheap, so I might throw in a few of these!

That's not a question for me to answer for you Frenchie; your 'good' and my 'good' might not share the same traits etc.
I can't remember anything specifically about them that I would call them bad blades, but I have many other blades which I prefer to use more frequently.

They look like the pack I have. I will have to try them.hando said:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/100-GILLETTE-WILKINSON-SWORD-DOUBLE-EDGE-RAZOR-BLADES-/140466007478?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20b46d2db6
these are the ones you should be looking at
made in the same factory as the 365's and possibly the black 7 o'clocks
the Lasers are made elsewhere
excellent vendor btw
Pleased to hear it. I'm trying to like Gillette blades. I'm always hearing about the legendary Swedes and I've tried the Sharp Edges, the green Super Stainless, the Black Platinums and very recently the Bleues. It seems to be (for me at least) a characteristic of these blades that they're sharp, very smooth, but for me cause a bit of soreness. Not much, but more than with some cheaper brands. I still like them, though, and the black Super Platinums seemed to get less so as I stuck with the one blade. I managed 7 shaves out of one of them, which was very impressive!!Damian Murphy said:I've got some of these , Indian wilkinsons . Pretty good , sharp and smooth enough for 3 shaves for me.
My couple of tries with Merkurs have been enjoyable I just don't feel they justify the price tag!Urban Hermit said:FrenchBlade said:Very true, especially since I'm the only one here liking merkurs

Well, you and Blythe Spirit, are the more vocal/visible (I'm pretty sure there are others as well, just not committing themselves in public perhaps - spandexcodpiece was a fan of them too - wherever he might be nowadays), but I haven't got anything hugely against them, or Derby's.
There are just blades I prefer to use, and there are blades I haven't tried yet, that I would like to give a try rather than them.
I do occasionally re-visit them, they just haven't been re-ranked due to that, yet.
