Non-glued blades

[77TransAm]

Hi everyone,

I've been wondering about non-glued blades for a little while now. I hate having to rub the glue off my razors after I change the blade. Anyone know any GOOD blades that come non-glued?

Thanks for your help!

Any Personna blade & Feathers for starters.

What's the best blade that Personna makes? I used some stainless personna's and I wasn't a big fan. I have a 10 pack of feathers that I have yet to try, maybe i'll load one up tomorrow.

It's not glue, it's usually only wax so should come off (melt) easily with a rinse under hot water. Astra's seem to be the worse, but I heard they are getting better.

Med Preps or Labs - I personally use the Med Preps more than my Feathers and Astra SPs. Great shave, no irritation, and I can easily get 4 shaves out of them.

Since the wax doesn't interfere with the performance of the blade, I don't worry about it.

Med preps all the way. Great blades.

Med Preps and Gillette Blacks are my favorite blades without any glue/wax.

I like the idea of Personna meds, they're also cheaper than feather's as well so that's a bonus thanks for the help everyone. Now if only I could find a supplier in Canada :'(

+1. Put it in the razor and give it a rinse in hot water. Never a problem.

+2 same here, Labs are awesome.
Those bloody ones with the arrows on them shouldn't be allowed to carry the Personna label.

Hot water doesn't do it for me. If you're using a TTO with butterfly doors, the wax doesn't touch the doors hardly at all. If you use a 3 piece tech, or an old type, you will notice that it squishes down on the wax leaving a nasty wax print that is very annoying to get off. Washing it with hot water doesn't do anything at all. Rubbing it with your finger will smear it all around until it finally gets smeared completely off. I'm sick of the wax, time for some lab meds.
