I ordered a massive $45 sampler from tryablade.com
Out of all, I found myself constantly comparing every blade to these Gilette Black 7 o'clock blades. Made in India apparently under the license and supervision of P&G.
I want to inquire if others observed the following:
1) Sharpness 9/10 (Perfect 10 is Feather)
2) They make a high pitch cutting noise that is so distinct. Unlike any other blade I've tried.
3) Cutting efficiency 10/10. They cut and then some.
4) Smoothness 10/10. I have zero burn after shaving a 5 o'clock shadow. No shower, nothing. Straight to the sink after coming home and stick some cold lather and use some ninja blades to freshen up the evening. BUTTERY SMOOTH.
5) Longevity seems easily 5+ shaves.
6) Double wrapped to prevent any kind of oxidation.
7) Printing looks excellent and sharp. Not that it matters, but they made sure it is not sloppy.
Overall, ranks No. 1 for me. They feel so damn good to cut with. Like a precision tool that provides feedback. Extremely loud.
If you have not tried these blades, don't let "Made in India" fool you. These blades are IMO the best so far. The only ones I've not tried are Polsilvers (discontinued) or Wizamets.
Curious if there are any fans of this blade here?
I used Rockwell 6S razor with #4 head.
