Ok Gents. Just had the third shave on my first GSB.....The third shave was on an almost two day full growth... Three passes.....It cut through like butter.... This has become my go to blade....
Yep. Tried my first GSB a little more than a week ago and it was the best blade I've ever used. Although yesterday some Personna Med Preps finally showed up (UPS lost 'em for a while), and I think they may give the Silver Blues a run for their money.
For a while I kept a variety of blades around because each had its strengths. But now I've PIFed everything because the GSBs (and the Med Preps) are superior to the others in every way. (Well, except the Feathers. I hung on to the last pack or two of those, but have a sneaking hunch they may languish in the drawer in the face of this competition.)
Glad to hear you're having good performance out of these. I got a few along with a razor I purchased from a member here and have plans to try them out this coming week. I'm still looking for my "go-to blade", so definitely looking forward to trying these!
I just tried them for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and still using them. I like them. Not the absolute best blade I've ever used(close), and in the r41 I can get a dfs almost total bbs even on the fourth use. They did seem to be not a good in my cadet OC but worlds better to my face than say, Derby, Astra, or any of the 7 O'Clocks I've tried.
