No, this is NOT a bad blade, right off, I'm talking about a blade that scored in the TOP 5, at least so far. So, why the title? Because the GSB came in with the 5th highest score when higher was definitely possible. I knew after shave 1 that it would not unseat the Nacent, indeed, any blade that doesn't give a BBS out of the wrapper has basically no chance of doing that. By shave #4 I was looking at a blade that I thought should rightfully claim the #2 spot and be hard to unseat in that position, but it came in with the 5th highest score at 8.35. Blood was a bit of a concern here and the total number of weepers was 16 over 7 shaves. Normally, this much blood would mean an earlier end to the test but this blade's weepers were unlike any others. What I got in most cases was a red speck on the white TP but a weeper that was invisible to the unaided eye. Still, the white TP test is there for a reason and the tally is what it is. I'm only going to post the running review for this one. For the test, it is tied for 5th place but when I look at only the first 4 shaves, it moves from a tie for 5th to 3rd place behind the Nacent and the Big Ben Super Stainless. For these top 3, the Nacent scored a 9.64, the Big Ben a 9.45 and the GSB scored 9.36. For the record, if I buy a tuck of these, I am certain the weeper problem will evaporate.
