After my initial post a few days ago, I decided to have a proper look back in the archives to see what people have been saying about the blades I’ve used previously, and I was surprised to read that my opinions often differed quite significantly from the prevailing wisdom here on B&B.
That got me thinking - how often does this happen? Have you ever found yourself struggling against the tide of popular opinion here on B&B? Do people love a blade you hate, or do you hate a blade that everyone loves? I’d like to open this question up to the floor. For me, my biggest surprises were:
Permasharp - lots of love here on B&B. I found them sharp/efficient, but quite often irritated my skin.
Russian made Gillette 7 o’clock Green - similar story to the above. Lots of love here on B&B, but I think this irritated me worse than the permasharps, perhaps because they are not as sharp
Dorco 300ST - these gave me pretty fine shaves. Close enough, and super smooth...people here don’t seem to like them though!
Shark SS and Lord Platinum - Mixed bag on the forum, but they are my absolute favourites (so far).
What blades do you love that everyone else hates, and vice versa?
