Hello folks,
After a long a long time looking for the right blade for my DE, i think i finally found the one for me, the Polsilver super Iridium. I really, really didn't want to like them because of their price. But I found the blade Sharp yet smooth from the first shave. It also degrades very nicely.
Before that I tried quite a few blades, to name a few others:
- PermaSharp Super
- Gillette 7 oclock yellow
- Feather
- Derby
- Shark SS
- Lord Platinum
- Voskhod
- Sputnik
- Rapira Super stainless
- Rapira Swedish super steel
- Dorco 301
- Dorco 300
- Flying eagle (They were a good surprise, the yeallow and pink label)
- Chinese Gillette bleue
- Chinese Rimei Blades
- Gillette Bleue Extra (Yeah the french version, like me )
- Wilkinson Black
- Personna stainless steel
It's been a long Journey but i finally found the one that works with me. I like it so much that i made my first bulk purchase... I went a bit overboard with 1000 blades. TBH I was pretty reluctant to buy PSI at first. I bought a few packs of Super iridium for a very good price and I have to say that I really enjoyed them.
The reason I didn't buy in bulk ? The price, 20 pounds for 100 seemed too high for my liking considering that there are so many blade i still had to try below 14 pound for 100.
And recently I saw an offer i could not miss 11 Pound for 100 PSI so pulled the trigger ... about 10 times and now i have enough PSI blade to last me a life time since I use DE, injectors, straights.
Now I can finally stop testing blade and sell them all and i ll keep only my gillette slim.
Who am i kidding ? I still have a lot blades i my stash to Test, can't wait to give them a run. The difference now ? I ll compare them to my PSI blades. The one still outstanding in my den:
- Astra SS
- Astra SP
- Rapira Lux platinum
- Ladas
- Personna platinum
- Shark SS
- Super max SS
