If you enjoy the GSBs, I think the blue platinums will also make you happy.

Let us know what you think of the Blue SP's in comparison to the Silver Blues. I love the Silver Blues and have a pack of the Blue SP's I've been meaning to try. In a way I hope I don't like them if you know what I mean lol....

The blue sp's were great. Really liked them. Think its the blacks and blues as #1 with the silver blues a 1A. All are hard to beat. I'm about to get my New fired up. Guess more testing is needed
I bought 50 of these from Jason (dr.idiot) in the summer. Fantastic blades.
I just had my first shave with a silver blue in my R41....wow! This may have been the best balance of comfort and closeness of any blade I've used. I guess I have to order 100 now.
i agee skleice - in my Fatop its like i have no blade in the razor execpt that the bread is gone. the comfort is in an other legue. so is the closeness of shave. after years of Astra/Feather/PerMed these GSB are just plan better. Toooooo bad they are out of production·
Just tried these out, and I'm very impressed. Looks like I'll need to try out the Blue Platinums as well...
I got some with my R41 purchase from Connaught Shaving. Haven't tried it in the R41 but tried them this morning with a Slim I just picked up on Ebay. Great shave, but I think I should have tried them in a razor I was used to. I started on 7, and it just wasn't aggressive enough. This is, of course, after a week of using my R41 with Astra SPs. I'm going to try them in my Fatboy tomorrow with proraso as that way, there are more constants. But It was a good shave, close but not BBS after three passes and some touchup.
Only 100?
I love the Silver Blues. In fact, I've got 500 of them in my "in case of shavepocalypse" stash.Only 100?
Seriously. I worked my way through the first tuck of 5 and promptly ordered another 500.

And I thought I had it bad...
Eh, it's almost the opposite of blade AD. I found the "almost absolutely perfect blade" for my face and razor combos, and just sorta "locked it in". I get 4-5 shaves out of them and could probably push it to six with better blade care, so thats quite a supply for me.
Yep - GSB is a pretty much perfect blade for my mug, too. After finishing some demo packs, I just decided to get them stocked and pulled a trigger for 10 cartons. After giving my buddy one of them, I promptly ordered one more. It's rather satisfying to know that I have my favourite blades for 8 years. Still, I keep getting a random carton here, another there - blacks, Personna Labs etc. and, of course, a healthy pile of Astra SP's.
An ultimate aim is to be stocked for the Shavecalypse - i.e. have a ~100 year stock (for own use and for occasional sharing). It isn't, after all, that expensive.

500 x 4 shaves = 2000 so now 2000/365 = 5.48 year what am I going to do in 5 and one half years
Besides, I like the package. Beautiful when compared to, say, 7'o Clock -range.
Angling to buy another 100. Have 200 now so every now and then I buy a 100.
