What's new

What is the one blade........

A Wilkinson Sword Light Brigade. I've used various vintage stainless steel DE blades, including a good few types made by Wilkinson Sword, and have found many of them very good, and some really excellent. However, I've refused to pay the prices vendors wanted for Light Brigades, and have not been lucky enough to find any in the wild.

Remember to forget me!
There are many.

When I just used Wilkinson Sword, I would use them till they conked out. When I started messing around with other blades, I didn't stick with them beyond a few passes, and so never got a good appreciation for them. Effectively I'm starting again with testing various blades. Here is my current assortment.

I've used two, and got a third in the razor, but there are several I'd like to try that aren't here.

7 O'Clock Black
PermaSharp Super
Nacet
Gillette Platinum
Gillette Rubie
Derby Premium

As the ones I have got will last me many months, I'll worry about the absentees later.

I recently used a few I got from Try a Blade. They were pretty good, but, IMO, not worth the premium price. They were very similar to GSBs, but twice the price.

YMMV, but I didn’t think they were worth $30 for 100 blades when I can get 100 GSBs for $15 (or less).
