What is your favorite cheap blade?

[Danricgro]

Just wondering what everybodies favorite inexpensive blade is. I only three weeks into DE shaving and am trying various blades to find the one that works best for me. Not that I would mind paying more for Iridiums or Feathers but if a guy can get a great shave for less money why not.

 

[DE Shaver]

Mine is the Treet Platinum blades. I pay only 11 cents per blade, including the shipping charges. Occasionally, I can get cheaper blades but that's not the norm for the majority of the time. Sharks are a (very) close second.

I get amazing results from Crystals. They're 12 cents a blade from westcoastshaving.com.

I tried a Feather recently and it cut me up good. Crystals are mild, smooth, and give CLEAN shaves.

 

[siouxsie]

Red Israeli Personnas.

For DE's Crystal...bought some on the internet.. 500 for 40.00

I like the Shark Super Chromes at about $15 per 100.

Plenty sharp for me and gives me a nice irritation free shave.

 

[HoosierTrooper]

Red IP's or the Dorco ST301, which I just recently tried. They're a great blade for the money!

I've had good shaves from Crystals and Red Personnas. I still consider 16-19 cents a blade "cheap", so I would also consider Bic Platinums and Sharks in this group. Haven't had a bad shave from a Dorco 301 either. Nothing amazing, but for the price they do the job.

I like the Shark Super Chromes at about $15 per 100.

Plenty sharp for me and gives me a nice irritation free shave.

+1 on the Shark Super Chromes, they give me about 6 good shaves.

I think the Astra Superior Platinum blades are excellent.

 

[johnmrson]

Without a doubt, Shark. Both the stainless and Super Chromes are excellent blades and they sell for peanuts.

 

[Straight Arrow]

Supermax Platinum are very good and inexpensive.

 

[sandmountainslim]

Another vote for both Red Pack Personna blades and Astra SP.

Probably the Wallyworld coated Personnas, If you can still get them. I have not been to WalMart in ages.

Only other new blade I like is the Iridium Super, so those as well.

 

[barneyb]

I think the Astra Superior Platinum blades are excellent.

+1 Great, go to blade. $46 for 400. Can't be beat!

 

[FL shaver]

Astra SP be my blade, too. I expect 100 to arrive tomorrow. I didn't get the best price possible at that volume, but 15 cents a blade isn't bad!

 

[Uncle Erik]

Red IPs, no question.

I'm currently mostly using Dorco and Treet Platinum. I find Dorco smoother and Treet a little more sharper.
I can get the Dorco at local supermarket for 1.50€/a ten pack...so overall a good deal.

Supermax Platinum are very good and inexpensive blades for 2-3 shaves. Anything coated seems to work well with me !

Gillette India Wilkinson Premium Plus (chromium plated) is in the same league as the Supermax Platinum.
