I find it very strange how I can have completely different experiences with two different model of blades from the same manufacture. This happens a lot with me. Here are some examples:
Do any of you get the same experiences with different manufacturers?
- Derby:
- Extra Super Stainless - a really good blade that provides a smooth shave over multiple uses.
- Premium Ceramic Platinum - Really awful blade that provides a rough shave and a lot of irritation.
- Astra:
- Superior Stainless - an outstanding blade that never fails to deliver across multiple shaves.
- Superior Platinum - Mediocre at best, lousy at worst.
- Personna:
- Lab - a great blade that only occasionally delivers a mediocre a shave.
- Platinum - Mediocre. By the fourth shave, I am more than happy to dump it.
- Gillette:
- 7 O'Clock Green - a really good performer that will occasionally have a bad one in the lot.
- Permasharp - Again, mediocre. Time to bail on it after the fourth shave.
