Gillette Silver Blues, Gillette Platinum, Perma-Sharps, BIC, Gillette 7 O'clock Super PlatinumSo with this whole pandemic the only advantage for me had been some more time to de shave and I ordered the following de blades a few months back, I've been working my way through and here are my findings so far:
It's been really interesting trying out so many blades over the past months. I've kept the same razor (EJ DE89) and proraso green until this week when I switched to Cella Bio (both excellent).
- Gillette - Sputnik - fantastic, my previous favorite
- Gillette - Nacet Stainless - Very close, no irritation
- Shark - Platinum - very smooth - impressed as was not expecting to be that great
- Voskhod - Teflon Coated - didn't seem that sharp but very smooth
- Shark - Super Stainless - OK but not a patch on the shark platinum
- Gillette - Winner - not impressed, scratchy and lost sharpness v. quickly
- Tatra Platinum - first one was fantastic, second not quite so good
- Gillette - 7 0'Clock - SharpEdge - excellent
- Rapira - Platinum Lux - lasted well and nice enough
- Gillette - 7 0'Clock - Super Stainless (green) - irritated my skin
I've got two questions:
1 - What would be some good blades to try next before I commit to buying a 100 of a couple?
2 - Gillettes - I seem to be having mixed experience with the Gillette blades, however the yellow's are probably the best I've used so far but the greens easily the worst. Given how many Gillette's blades on offer just wondering if anyone has advice on what to try next?
Thanks!
Try Gillette Rubies, very good blades and also Nacet's, good blades for not a lot of money!So with this whole pandemic the only advantage for me had been some more time to de shave and I ordered the following de blades a few months back, I've been working my way through and here are my findings so far:

Can't find a link I had to a detailed study of different blades. Bic chrome platinum were the sharpest, on average, over the course of several shaves. Even sharper than Feathers. After the first shave, they also seemed to have very consistent sharpness. Many blades seemed to have quite a lot of variation.
