Time for my third ever razor blade purchase since I started wet shaving 10+ years ago. (I did go a few years without shaving, just kept a shortly trimmed beard). I started with a 100 pack of Astra SP. I remember liking them, they were nice and mild and newbie-friendly. But I had no frame of reference to compare against. When those ran out I bought a 100 pack of Feather Hi-Stainless in a black and red box I think. I had read here that they were sharper. Well, I used up 96 of them and never liked them all that much but I used them anyway. Maybe it's the sharpness, I'm not sure, but they feel like they butcher my face up.
I've been reading through this sub-forum trying to find what others think is good, and I decided to order several of them in quantities of 5-10. Here's what I decided to try.
- Personna Israeli Reds
- Personna Blue
- Gillette 7 o'clock Yellow
- Gillette 7 o'clock Green
- Lord Extra Super Stainless
- Lord Platinum
- Shark Super Stainless
I also have a 5 pack still laying around of the Astra SP, so I'll put those into the rotation as well and give them another look.
