What's new

If I like Astra SP, Voskhod, Personna Lab Blue, then I should also like __________

wow, this thread interests me because i do like viskhods and Astra SP's, but it seems like just about every blade has been named by someone or another. a thought, would someone who's posted recommendations also post some "do not buy" warnings? it seems that someone who likes these blades is looking for a smooth sharper than average, but not ultra sharp blade, correct?

Do NOT buy:

Derby
Anything by Lord
Anything by Treet
7 AM
Dorco 300
Merkur
Feather (too sharp, not very smooth or long lasting)
 
It's fun to advise what blades to buy or skip, or compare brands, but one man's trash is so often another's treasure.

[Except for Merkur. I don't know how a German manufactured blade could be so lousy (while still being one of the most expensive blades on the market)! :001_tongu]
 
Polsilvers SI's are epic. Love them. I equally like the Lab Blues and get very similar shaves in that comparison, DFS+. Essentially, BBS face and BBS in every direction I shave on my neck (I avoid ATG on my neck. Bloodbath)
