RedNeckRash said:Thanks everyone
Ive had a look at the different blade sampler packs ot connaught shaving, quite a few to choose from, any particular favorites which you can recommend?
I was thinking of the first one that comes up, (popular) but the Crystal ones are out of stock and I wouldnt mind trying those (or are they no good?), theyre replaced with Wilkinson stainless.
Can there be such a noticable difference with different manufacturers :?:

Crystals I always found as a kinda "okay" blade. Which just means that whilst they never seemed the best at anything to me, they didn't really have any bad side. So, I think they're a good blade with which to either work on technique or use as a baseline to compare other razors or settings on adjustable razors. And yes, different blades definitely do have variant characteristics. From initial sharpness through to when they "go off" in use. My own fave are feathers, however there are a lot of very nice blades out there. If you ever wish to try Feathers, Croma or Astra Keramic just drop me an IM & I'll pop some loose blades in the post for you to try before you commit yourself to buying in a bulk supply.
