I'd also add on top - that the blade can change their character a bit depending on the razor. I'm assuming the technique when using particular razor can come into play here too (I found that out with personna platinum - can't stand them in blackbird, however in rockwell 6s they're an enjoyable blade)Hello there...
DE blades are one of the most subjective parts to traditional wet shaving.....YMMV is more true for razor blades than any other element. Read enough reviews and you'll see 10 will brand X is the sharpest and 4 will say it's the dullest; 6 will say it's gentle and smooth, while 5 will say it's the worst blade ever. I actually like Treet blades I would compare them to an Astra SP with half the longevity....My personal favourite are the 'Treet 7days Platinum. I don't push a blade to the max. 2-4 shaves max is my method, with the exception of few brands.. My mature skin type really likes Indian made blade, but what works for me, could be the opposite for your good self. My advice to you is to find one blade that works well and then just shave without any more experimenting.. 90% of traditional wet shaving is all about learning your technique & gaining shaving confidence...However a good solid razor, preparation ,a sharp blade helps multitude...'A bad worker always blame's his tools. Be wary of RAD. This is advice from an addict who has acquired a stock pile of different DE blades to last two life times and more.
Enjoy your shaves. Regards-Barry.
yea i hear ya mate everyone experiences are different but i find it really interesting how one brand of de blade can have so many opinions, i dont think i've ever heard anything like that with cartridge razorsHello there...

I have to admit to a weakness for Treet Platinum. For me they are sharp and very smooth. I recently passed a pack of ten onto a friend and he also commented on how good they were for him. They are cheap as chips ( I picked up a tower of 100 for £6.99) so worth a punt.
