Gillette 7 O Clock Blades

[demaro]

I have been using inexpensive blades for the past few years [ Derby , Shark , Astra , etc] . All of them work well for me. I shave every other day and get 4 maybe 5 shaves out of each blade. My question is would it be worth the extra money two buy the Gillette 7 O Clocks? Would they give an even better shave than I am getting now? Or , will they last longer ?
Thank you

Gillette 7 o'clock yellows are my favorite blade. As sharp as Feathers but not as expensive.

I'd stick with what you're using.

It's a quality v.s. quantity issue. You'll never know unless you try them....

I like the black over the yellow.

I like the Gillette greens a lot, I can get like 7-8 good shaves out of one. I tried the astra sp hoping that it would be a good replacement at half the cost. Its about as sharp as the Gillette but lacked the smoothness. I think you should just try it and see if there is a difference and if it justifies the added cost. It really would for me.

Just buy one pack and try them out.
I like the black ones.

i personally have liked the 7 o'clocks better than Astra, Shark, or Derby. Greens performed well, Blues have been getting better for me as my technique improves, and looking forward to trying the yellows I recently ordered.

They are worth trying, but if you are happy with the results with the blades you use so far stick with them.

+1,more money doesnt mean better shaves.
