That's pretty insightful. I'm going to give it a try.

Astra SS (6)

62 Slim Astra SS (5)

They are my best blade so far. I get 8 great shaves from them.

I use the Maximum Hydration Balm, made in Mexico. I like it. I also use Nivea Men Creme for hands etc. Its made in Germany. I don't see a huge difference.

I recently started shaving with a Gillette Slim Adjustable. I was amazed at how mild it feels while still giving a very close shave. Very little blade feel, no weepers or irritation yet something close to a BBS shave. I would call that mild but efficient. That's my subjective experience.

Gillette Silver Blue (8)

I received the Slim yesterday. It cleaned up really well and is in perfect working order. The quality of this thing exceeded my expectations. Thanks to @Chef455 and the the generosity of this community.

Thanks for the review. I'm putting that one on my list.

I had my 6th shave with a Shark Platinum this morning. For me it is comparable to a Gillette Silver Blue in terms of smoothness and longevity if not sharpness.
