I've been using these old Gillettes and have found them to be very close and very smooth. I also use Feathers and generally like them very much, but they do have the potential to cut me on occasion. In short, these Gillettes seem to be a half a step above. The question is: Are the old Gillettes the best blades that were ever made? I understand that your mileage may very and that many consider the Swedes to perhaps be the equal of these old blades. I didn't like the Swedes because of the machining oil on the blades. Are there any blades these days (besides Swedes) that approach the old Gillettes in terms of smoothness and closeness?

I noticed that this was posted in the Razor section versus the Blade section and wanted to know how to move it.
