I feel the GSB blades are the best. They seem to have the best combination of smoothness and sharpness. Simply the best.

I have a clone of the Merkur Future, and the first time that I shave with it I loaded a GSB, and it was an awesome experience, I’m hitting my head on the wall, what did it take 30 yrs to try wet shaving?
I have used a single blade straight razor, for about 30 years, but mostly to trim and shape my mustache.
I really don’t know if I want to try a different blade, since it was effortless, I didn’t get any nicks, cuts or ingrowns.
I’m a convert to Wet shaving and a fan of GSB

My favorite modern-day blade. Smooth, sharp and lasts for three BBS shaves against my coarse, dense beard. I've tried just about every brand out there, too
Just ordered a 100pk for 15.00. I have enough GPPs to last a year, but I had to give the GSB a shot as well. And with this price I couldn't pass them up.
Well, if the thread is going to be necro'd, at least it's for a great product! 
Would you mind posting your source at $15? I’m looking to purchase. I, like many of you, have settled on the GSB after trying many others. My second best was probably Astra, followed by Voskhod. I cringe when I see people praise the Personna Reds. That was the only blade I ever tossed without even finishing the first shave. Like everything else, it’s a YMMV game.
I am unsure as to being allowed to post a link to someone other than approved B&B vendors. So I sent you a link Saber.
I know this thread is now going on past 6 years, but GSB's are available on ebay for $15.49/100 if anyone wants to grab some now. When I first tried the blade, I felt like the razor was not even loaded...then I messed up my neck with touch ups because the blade's feel made me over confident. Still probably the best blade I have tried so far.
Not saying they are the best, I doubt there is a such a thing, accounting for individual preference. But I have never had any better overall.
theres an auction on ebay that has these if you still like them........13.84 for 100
Solid find at $13.84. I just put in an order.
glad to hear that, I know they are still loved blades and wanted others to know.
Question about price and quality, I am pretty much in love any Gillette from Russia, what is the most expensive Gillette blade in the market right now ? price are all over the place on ebay or amazon, I think it may be GSB ?
From Russia, the Rubie.
so the GSB is the second ? the Rubie is a good blade, the same with Gillette platinum
If you are looking for the most expensive, period, then I think the Brazilian Platinum Plus is the top of the heap. Looks like the starting cost for them, IF you can find them, is around .89 per blade. They are excellent blades but not worth that price. (I bought a huge amount of them before the price went up!)
No, the blue & white box Platinum would be the 2nd most expensive IMO. The rest depend on the current vendor deals on sites such as Ebay & Amazon as well as other various vendors. In the end buy what works best for you. Buy a tuck of each to try.
They are currently $17.49 for 100 on Amazon. I'm another fan of GSB's. I tried several blades and then decided to make the jump to Feathers. They were sharp but harsh to me. I then tried the GSB's after reading some reviews. They gave me the same BBS shave I was getting from the Feathers but were way smoother. They have been my goto blade for about a year now.
This thread was brought back current because I found the gsb for 13.84 for 100 on ebay
Best price point out there.
