Today was a first shave with the Gillette 7 O'clock green wrapper blade. Not bad at all. I did manage to get a couple pink dots on my face, but they were gone with a wipe of the towel, and the shave was very smooth. Pretty much like the Gillette Silver Blue, or an Astra SP. I'll try it again tomorrow, and see if it holds to the typical St Petersburg blade characteristic of delivering a good first shave, and a great second, third, and fourth shave....
