Merkur super double edge razor blade

I ordered some blades from tryablade.com and one of them was Voskhod. From what I gather they are made in Russia. Last night was my first shave with one and it was probably the worst blade I've tried to date. I must however say that I did have a one day stubble but with my Feather or SuperMax blades it's never a problem. I only shaved about 4 strokes before I gave up on the blade, there was a lot of tug when shaving. When running my finger across the blade it does not feel sharp at all. I...

Elvado Key Lime Shave Stick manufactured by taosSkinCareOrganics.com

Solidly built metal 3 piece razor. Had earlier bought the razor for around 28 usd. However the razor was very mild and even though it gave a close shave it took some effort and extra passes. Luckily they surprised me by sending a more aggressive clamp complimentary. IMO it's now a perfect razor. Solidly built to last with a little heft. It gives a smooth shave with no irritation. It also manages to hit problem areas under the chin, nose and on the neck in one pass. Great value. Last I...

Gillette 7 o’clock Sharp Edge (Yellow) Ever woke up in the early morning to shave off that thick beard that has been sitting on your face for the last two weeks or that two days stubble? Then this blade is yours. The Gillette 7 o’clock Sharp Edge (Gillette SE) like name implies is a very sharp blade so if you’re a beginner then stop reading this and take a look at my other review about the Derby Blades. This is one of the sharpest and favourite blades of my collection. It is...

Derby Professional Blades Barber's Edition If you are using a shavette and have couple of DE blades then you have been snapping the blades in half since the very start. For casual shavers there is no real problem but for professional this can take time to snap the blades, then insert them in the blade holding mechanism and if you are unlucky then you will find that the edges where you snapped are bend and will either scratch inside the holder or will take more time to fit in. This...

Gillette Silver Blue (Gillette SB) This is a very common blade among the barbers in my country. This is indeed not a blade that I would use on a daily basis unless if I like automutilation and want steel scratching my face everyday. Those who likes multiple passes will indeed love it as your one day stubble will take two days to appear as even if it is a very rough blade it is also super sharp (as compared to my lovely 7oclock sharp edge). Due to the fact that it is very rough then...

A very nice shavette from Creative Edge. It has a premium feel when realising that the wooden handle is handmade and it has been well polished with attention to detail and there is a screw as the pivot pin to adjust how the shavette folds. It uses the butterfly blade holding mechanism with laser written Creative Edge London logo on the clasp. The point and edge are very firm and the blade will not fall off even if the clasp is open. The tang is long enough for my little finger. In...

The Prismatic, much like The DOC or The Phoenix Bakelite, is yet another homage based once again on one of my favorite, hard to get (or afford) classic vintage safety razors of all time by The Kirby Beard Co Razor of England...or actually by The French Razor Company Leresche (classic "Private Labeling")! Being from the USA most of us modern wet shavers and collectors seem to be Gillette-centric and rightly so. But in being so we miss out on so many great vintage, highly...
