I have seen "YMMV" a lot, but don't know what it means. What does it mean?Of all the “YMMV” in wet shaving I think the razor blades plays a big part for this.
What do you guys think?

That is who I bought my blades from last time. It was about 4 years ago, I don't remember it saying it then, but I can't remember for sure. It almost worked on me this time though. I was debating on buying a big pack of them when I saw it. Good thing I researched it more.^^^^Yup that link is to the A-Hole who has been spreading the lie for years and years and years and years now.^^^

Yes, he is still a member named dcc. He was last seen on line as of 9:43 PMI'm wondering if he's still a B&B member. I can't remember his username though.
Whereas, if I had all the same variables besides use a Feather blade, I will get irritation.
I've just had my most satisfying shave yet. If it gets better than this, I dont know how.
Brit clone. Fresh Feather.
Pre de Provence 63.
Maggard synthetic.
I cant remember when I shaved last. Well over 50 hours ago.
N-S. S-N. ATG. One clean up.
I dont know whether it was this razor that took the harshness out of these blades for me or the soap, but I felt none at all.
I thought he was the good guy. Please read his Description on this eBay page.New message from: markmihaylo_0 (1,152 )
Because they are out of stock. The factory is closed
This is a big lie.
Wow... I wasn't expecting to get a huge lesson in razors. haha
So, you're saying in razor's like the Grande with less gap, you can tell the difference between Polsilvers and Blue Diamonds right? You can't really tell with razors with a bigger gap, if I read that correctly.
I have used feathers before and they were too harsh for me. I tried them again later when I was proficient with my technique and I still felt they were too harsh. That is where the Polsilvers shine for me, is that they are almost as sharp(IMO) and way smoother for me. However, I don't understand Derby being in your top three. It has been a long time since I have tried one of those, but from what I remember they weren't sharp at all. I do really like Perma-Sharp blades as well. I feel like they are a little less sharp than the Polsilvers, but a little smoother. Probably would have been my go to blade if Polsilver discontinued their production and I couldn't find a blade like Polsilvers.
I don't know any of those soaps that you have mentioned. My go to soap has been Tabac as of late. I also like Reef Point soaps. I really like the quality of Stirling soaps, but I don't like the smell of almost all the soaps of theirs I have tried.

Gillette factory don't produce anymore POLSILVER BLADES.
Looks like all he simply needs to do is align his homepage with his eBay description lol.I thought he was the good guy. Please read his Description on this eBay page.
Then read the first paragraph of @dcc's home page.
The "Description" in the eBay link I provided says:I think thats from an Ebay message to a member here. Its not stated in his Ebay ad.
Its the new marketing strategy. Make everyone so confused no one knows what to believe lol.
The "Description" in the eBay link I provided says:
"Description. The Super Iridium double edge blades were a popular blade before they were discontinued. Or at least that's what we thought happened to them. Turns out there was a distribution change and the blades are still being made in St. Petersburg, Russia. They are packaged slightly different, but they are the same great blade. Sharp and smooth."
I checked that listing Cal and its the exact same listing as another seller had when I bought mine.
Below is where I bought mine. His listing has changed three times since I bought mine and now I see it's back to the normal listing from last year.
100 POLSILVER SUPER IRIDIUM DE BLADES PRIORITY SHIPPING WITH TRACKING | eBay
Same country of origin and virtually the same ad. Interesting.
My 200 when I bought them almost 3 years ago now I guess, were $45 and change CAD, shipped. The shipping was just under $5CAD. Todays price per 200, from the same seller, would be $68.40CAD, shipped. Thats an increase of $11.50CAD/100, but I dont think it would stop me from buying them if I needed some.
I'm glad I still have 105 left. I wont be so wasteful with the rest lol.
They all are sold by a Bulgarian vendor out of Vidin Bulgaria. How many Bulgarian Polsilver vendors are there?Yeah, see my previous post in this thread.
As far as I know, they are not the same person.
