Oh My LORD

[The M]

Okay so when I Started Wet shaving the only razor and Blade I had acess to was a Gillette Tech (which is to mild for my tastes) and Walmart Wilkinson Sword Blades. The wilkinson swords blades work for my face but not the best. Then I Ordered a Merkur 1904 safety bar razor and seeing how all the razor blade sampler packs I saw didnt have all the blades I wanted to try I made my own sampler pack. I ended up ordering a pack of Astra SPs, Nacet Platinums, Derbys, and Lord Platinums. I tried the Astra SP First after hearing so many people say how good they where and at the Start I did think they where realy good but after I while I started to not like them becasue from the start they gave me realy close shaves but I got some irritation that I thought I could deal with but I was wrong. After using one Astra blade( I have used more than one if anyone was wondering) I went on to try the Nacet platinum that I have which are NOS. The Nacets where horrible I used one blade and after the first shave I put it in the blade bank. Next was the controversial Derbys. The Derby blades didnt give me irritation but the shave was not as close as the Astra blades. So Next was the LORD Platinum class blade which out of the blades I had at the time was the best. The Lord Platinum blade shaved close with little to no Irritation everytime I shaved. The Lord PLatinum blade Is among my favorite blades at the moment.

Next I started to Order Other blades to try out. I ordered 7 o clock yellows and blues and Astra SS blades as well as Shark Super Stainless blades and Shark Super Chrome Blades for shark week and I ordered some Lord Super Chromes and Lord Superior Stainless blades. Now to save everyone some reading Im going to skip to the Lord made blades. During Shark Week I used one of the Shark Super Chromes and I found them quite sharp but a little rough. Overall I will be using them again but I dont think I will be ordering more of them. I have yet to try the Shark Super Stainless. Now for the Lord Super Chrome blades which I think is a similar sharpness to the Shark Super Chrome but the Lord SC was smoother than the Shark one.

Now for my Favorite Blade I have ever used. The Lord Super Stainless Blade! This Blade is Smooth and the perfect Sharpness for my face. I now have (walks up stairs to go count how many Lord Super Stainless blades I have) 102 un used razor blades In my medicine cabinet and 1 Blade in my New(well new to me that is I bought it on the B/S/T) Lord L6 which I plan on using the next time I shave. I have gotten shaves that where very close to BBS with no Irritation.

So who elses favorite blade is a Lord Blade?

Gotta say yes to the Lord SS!

Rather early in my search for the nicest blade I came across various Lord blades and the (blue/white) Super Stainless stood out from the first shave. It seems designed with my skin and beard in mind; sharp, smooth, one of very few blades that I can use comfortably ATG on the second pass and something I can only describe as perfect feedback.I could shave with those in the dark I think.

I liked them so much I picked up a lifetime supply earlier this year so my stock grew from about 500 to 2,600 blades...
I still try and use other blades but I just wanted to make sure I never go without.

I liked the Platinums and the Super Chromes. Very smooth blades, maybe not the sharpest around, but certainly very forgiving.

I like Asco and Racer which are Lord brands but I've had yet another mare with Shark SC and the R41 this week. Needed the Asco to save me from a very bad week.

 

[americanarmsdealer]

+1 to the Racer, with the ASCO running a very close second. As a matter of fact, I can't think of any Lord produced blade, except Crown, that hasn't given me at least a decent shave. I'm thinking the Egypians may have this DE blade production thing figured out. I have no idea what went awry with the production of the Crowns I've tried.

well Lord Uses Wilkinson Sword tech so that might be why they make good blades. What ever it is they need to keep on making blades the same way they do right now becasue the Lord Super Stainless blades are great and If I had the money right now( I havent worked in a while but am in the process of trying to get a job) then I would buy a couple hundred of em. I am going to be buying some lord shave cream next time I make a order and I want to get some of there after shave fluid or cologne ( I dont know the diffrence). That way I can do a All lord shave with the Lord L6. Does anyone know of a vendor that sells the Lord After shaves

 

[Sledgehammer39]

I am a big fan of the Lord offerings.

 

[ackvil]

I have the Lord SS, Platinum, and Super Chromes and rank them just slightly below my favorite, the Personna Medical - Lab blades. I had not used the Lords for a very long time and about six months ago I found a pack of the SS. I tried it and liked them. I then ordered 100 each and use them in my rotation.

 

[cryhavoc]

I like the Lord SP's and SS's but my favorite are the Racer's

 

[tfinch]

There's a lot of love for the Racer blades it seems. I got one blade as a freebie recently so I'll have to give it a try. I like Lord SS, and really like Silver Stars.

 

[GladiusGSF]

Hmm...the one Lord blade I tried, it came free with the "Merkur" razor, I didn't like. Don't know which one it was though.....might have to order a pack or two to try out.

??? Where did you buy your Merkur to get a Lord blade with it if I may ask? Merkur razors are standard fitted with a free Merkur blade so this made me curious!

No...it was the Merkur STYLE Lord razor...sorry for not being specific! Since this post though, I have ordered the Lord SP's, Lord SS and Shark SC...I just ordered 100 of the Sharks I was so impressed!

I am quite liking the Lord L6 even though it is on the mild side. I just used it with a Lord Super Chrome blade and I got a great shave that may be BBS but I have nothing to compare to. I need to go to a good barber and get a shave so I can compare. I know the next time I order from WCS I will be picking up 100 Lord Platinums and 100 Lord Super Chromes. Also I just bought a Parker SR1 and I want to get a pack of pre split blades for it so I have those just for that and my double edge blade just for my DE razors.

Lord makes my favorite blades.

So far I've tried:

- Platinum Class
- Super Chrome
- Super Stainless

Love them all!

I have 100 Racers and 100 Shark SS coming from Bestshave. I doubt highly I'll be disappointed with their performance.

If Lord would make a decent quality boar/badger brush, better quality/finish DE than the Lord L6 & Lord Tech, shaving soap/cream, I'd most likely use Lord products exclusively.

 

[talibeard]

Lord makes my favorite blades.

Amen.

No other company makes so many blades that I like and in my top 3 the first two places are for Lord blades (the blue/white SS and the Captain).

The only blade that I won't buy again is the Shark SS and not because it is bad perse but it was disappointing compared to the other 9 or 10 blades I tried. If there is one blade company that should get a bit more attention on B&B it would be Lord (and after Lord it would be Flying Eagle (the maker Chinese Gillette blades)) and it is one of very few remaining companies that make both decent razors and blades.

 

[Raatt]

Lord Platinum are my current go to blade, my second is shark SS.

 

[Little Joe from Mexico]

I have more Lord blades than any other in my collection, which includes a good handful of different brands...

Actually about half of my blade stock is Lord Platinum Class.

 

[Den]

I've been eyeballing the Lord Cool variety and plan on picking up 100 of those. If I don't stop soon, I might catch up to ya talibeard!

 

[Galhatz]

Same here. My current fav combo us 40's superspeed + lord platinum.
My 2nd is ball end tech with derby.

I discovered the Lord blades when a sample came with the L6 razor. They work much better for me than Astras for sure.
These are VERY forgiving blades. I also found the Gillette blacks to be almost as smooth yet sharper but that isn't necessarily good (for me) as I got an occasional nick from them and never with the Lord ones. You really need to push hate to get a cut from these blades.
