I Finally Figured it Out!

Astra & Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow Pack

After trying what seemed like a million blades (including Red IP & Feather) I got the two that works great for me.

Now to figure out how to better get those darn neck hairs.

The 7 O'Clocks Yellows are some of my favorites too.

Now to figure out how to better get those darn neck hairs.

These are the exact 2 blade brands that work the best for me also. Out of these 2, Astra have the edge by a little bit. I find the Astras to be a little smoother than the Gillette yellow (being smoother than Gillette yellow is hard to do) and they don't cut me at all.

I struggled whether to bulk order Astra or Gillette yellow but I finally settled on Astra as the best overall blade for me and recently ordered a bulk supply of 400 from ebay.

Ah, probably one of the finer moments in DE wetshaving is finding blades that work for you! Congrats!

Gillette Yellows seem difficult to locate lately. Is that true, or am I looking in the wrong places?

to name a couple. I bought a bunch of Astra's because they are much less expensive than the Gillette's. But I'm most likely going into the Vendors Corner to see if I can get some yellows for less.
