Help me buy some new blades

[Shaveguru]

Looking to buy some "trusted performance" blades to add to the drawer of shame.

I have two requirements:

1. Has to be readily available e.g no out of production or unobtanium blades.
2. No Gillette or Russian blades - tried or own most of these already.

That's it really, I look forward to try some new blades recommended by you fine chaps!

Bonus points for links provided to buy your chosen wonder blade as sometimes I struggle to find the best place to buy. (I don't want to pay out of the odds when they could be available cheap for 200 at xyz...)

To be honest.....you won't get much better than Treet Platinum or Treet Seven Days

Try Personna Platinum Chrome - the new German ones are excellent. Another nod for Treet Platinum.

Bought 120 of the Treet Seven Days, that's me sorted for the next 8.5 years!

Lord Silver Star, and the German Wilkinson Sword.

Agree with all listed so far ...

Lamix Platinum Plus gained my affections within the last year.

Treet DuraSharp (Yellow pack).
Lord Classic (Green pack).

+1
(This noob has been getting excellent results with these Personnas on a Henson Mild and, recently, an Executive Shaving Outlaw)

I've purchased from this source in the past...

The Personna Lab Blue would me my preference in this scenario.

Blades are a YMMV one for sure, I'm not a fan of the Lab Blue, used one over the last few days. I find the German made Personna Platinum Chrome to be a better blade.

The only way to find out for sure is to try it for yourself.

And for my face it's the exact opposite.

There are some on ebay. Not sure if I can post links, although I have seen some people do that. The description is labelled as "comfort coated" but the wrappers suggest they are the old Lab Blues.

If you are based in the UK I can pop a couple in the post (if you would be happy sending me your address on a personal message). It would have to be after xmas as I'm not near the blades at the moment.
The ones I saw on ebay are for boxes of 100 blades so you may not want to get stuck with 99 of them if you don't like the shave you get.

FYI - the Fleabay supplier I mentioned earlier in this a thread sells packs of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100 and 200 blades (and free UK delivery).

I think yours might be a different blade to the ones I was mentioning, although it can be difficult to tell.

Belgium, man! Belgium!

Ok, I was asking as I could not find any for sale in the UK when I searched for Personna Lab Blues.

My mistake, I obviously wasn't following the conversation closely enough.
I've now had a search for Lab Blues and can't find any UK sources ( a few possible sources in USofA but the postage is a killer).

{Oh, and by the way I'm shocked at the profanity you are using - thought that TSR, and civilised Society as a whole, prohibited this sort of thing?)
