Gillette Silver Blue I Love You! 27th November To 4th December 2023! Sign Up GSB Cultists And Fans Of This Classic Blade!

[Slock]

Darn that! Reported for Mod for a fix on the title.

The MESS has struck early as I feared.

There is still deep bitterness in the higher echelons of the Mognolian government.

Now let's ignore this, and get this GSB lovefest rolling!

The GSB is a favorite blade of mine. I just won't be rolling in them.
And I am in.

I just checked my stash. I have a grand total of 1 Gillette Silver Blue blade left.
I shall unsheath it for this fine celebration during the appointed time!

 

[Balin]

Silvana Bluetata everyone!

Thank you @Alum Ladd for organizing an appreciation event for the "BEST" razor blade ever made!

I'm taking the liberty of signing up all current cult members!

I would jump in, but I'm currently in the Fffeeeeelll The Difference Challenge. I love GSB's!!

 

[Obetron Rex]

I'm in. I love GSB blades and they're tied for #1 with Wizamet for me. I usually alternate them but a week of just silver blues will be a pleasure. I have a big hoard of them.

I haven't used the GSB in ages (approx. three years ), but I still might have a tuck lying around, so a revisit might be possible.

Let me check first prior to jumping on the list...

Edit:

I found the tuck...
I'm in.

[TheBigL]

I don't believe I have ever tried one, but earlier this week I ordered a hanger of them. I kinda wanted to try them but with production changing I figured I'd just get them before they're gone (or moved)!

Put me on the list... I'd do it myself but I don't know how!

 

[JAHE]

FIFY, just copy and paste.

Does anyone know where Gillette is going to produce these blades in the future?

 

[Dodger59]

I'd love to play. GSB's were the first DE blades I purchased, along with 7 O'Clock Greens, after my initial variety pack a few years ago.

Actually started a bit early, my Thanksgiving shave today:

Leaf Twig
1/2 GSB (2)
Razorock Bruce
Speick Cream
PdP 63 Balm

The second shave on a GSB is one of life's pleasures.

Family and Friends are gathered, (American) Football on the TV, Wine is opened. Grace, peace and blessings to you all.

Well that is a great question. All I know is that that Astra (SS and SP) moved to India. China is now making King C Gillette (which were reviewed very poorly and a blade I really liked, there is a thread on that) and the Light Blue Gillette Plantiums (Blue Box, white letters, one of my favorites, why I stocked up on them). Given how badly the King C's were reviewed from China, I won't be shaving with them ever or buying them ever again.

Thats all I know as far as the new production of blades.

 

[Ron R]

I would of more than likely been in but I'm testing a new single edge razor starting tomorrow so I'm out. GSB are one of my favorite blades, Sharp and Smoooth with reasonable longevity! Have some fun and great shaves!

 

[Flanders]

The legendary Gillette Silver Blue blade will be celebrated from the 27th November to the 4th December 2023!

Umm, reading comprehension is apparently not my strength.
(I already made a SOTD post and wondered why nobody else has)

Don't worry, every day is a good GSB day!

 

[Flanders]

Don't worry, every day is a good GSB day!

The blade is really in The Zone on the second and third shave now! I am a little worried about the fourth or fifth getting rough, we'll see.

The Mognolian operatives are merciless and devoid of pity.

Poor Brother @Lockback and his temporary liquidation is proof of that.
