Nothing wrong with that top list IMO!Over my 5 years traditional WetShaving I have a ultimate affinity towards Russian Made Gillettes. Their blades in general just love my skin and beard! Another thing I’ve noticed is mostly anything platinum coated really gets me smooth close shaves. Here are my favorite blades I’ve come to love over the years. And I’m not the type to differentiate between blades, if I would put on a blindfold and picked a random blade out of my favorites, I probably couldn’t tell you which was which because they all work for me. And they also work in every single Razor I’ve never had.
My top 5 is
Gillette Silver Blue
Gillette Nacet
Gillette Permasharp
Personna Platinum Crome (Reds)
Astra SP (Greens)
Honorable mentions…
Treet Platinums
Gillette Super Thin
Sharp Star
PolSilver
Crystals
Shaver Boy
Gillette Platinums
7 o’clock Permasharp (greens)
Rapira Platinum Lux
Bic Platinum Crome
Tiger Platinums
Sputnik
Shark (both kinds I guess)
I didn't know this about the Sputnik!Nothing wrong with that top list IMO!
Kai SS DE blades are excellent for mild razors if you have a few of those razors or the Gillette Sputnik are also the extra wide blade that are great for mild razors, Kai has longer blade life. Kai DE & Sputnik DE are 9/1000 wider that a standard Gillette Astra SS blade.
I would of if I had some, I did some limited research and found these had similar widths as the Kai.I didn't know this about the Sputnik!
Why haven't you told me this before?! I thought we were friends, my friend!
I really need to make a post, but I'm such an "in demand" personality that I have been too busy to document my last shave on Saturday evening, but I used a Personna Red blade that @dmshaver gifted me! It needs another use to confirm my initial findings, but I was VERY impressed. With my luck they are "unobtainium!"I have joined the USA made Personna Lab Blue camp.
GSB are my 2nd favorite blade.1. Gillette Silver Blue 2. Gillette 7 O’Clock Stainless 3. Freebies
