I recently has several very good shaves with a Derby Premium blade in my EJ Chatsworth razor. In the past I'd been sort of underwhelmed with the Derby Premium, but the last three shaves reversed that for me. I ordered 100 for $10.

I tried a tuck of 5 BIC Stainless a year ago and it was horrible.
After that I have read so much good reviews of BIC Chrome Platinums, maybe the next order will be some BIC's

Did you enjoy the Lord's blade ?
I enjoy and use Feather's in my milder razors but for the price and still super sharp blades, I buy Astra SP in 100 packs for my other razors.
Yes I did
I have been using Lord Platinum for 4 or 5 years now.
I like both Platinum and Silverstar
I just won an auction on the bay.

Thank you for replying.
I hope I enjoy those blades as well !
You're welcome
I have only tried a couple of Lord Super Chrome before.
I find them a bit sharper than Lord Platinum and Astra SP, but not as sharp as Lord Superstar or Astra SS.
And 13 Euros for 200 blades, incl shipping, is a really great deal IMO.
Personna Israeli in the UK packaging. After shave #1 I find them comfortable, efficient, and durable. I usually get 1-2 weeks on one, very smooth with W,X, and A passes. i still do not understand why they are so much cheaper with the blue wrapper with red lettering.
Some of them just arrived !

Not sure about new or hot, but I just heard about polsilver being discontinued after a long hiatus from the forums
But just snagged 250 wizamet iridium super which as far as I know are the same blades.
My guess is the red box ones are more well known as reds. I'll bet they are the same cost when the sellers get them.
For the last 5 years GSB have been my favorite. Just began going back through my blade stash and finding many more i like now. Most likely because my technique is alot better100 Gillette silver blue arrived last week, great blades. Maybe better than 7 O'Clock sharp edge.
I have 100 Gillette Nacet arriving today, for $13 why not?
Russian Gillette blades just work on my face

So if anyone has blades they don't like right now, seal them in a bag and put them away and try again later when you're better at it!!
Dorco Prime, they give me great shaves and they don't stick in the game changer like most other blades.
7 O'clock black, Personna Reds on the way, found a good deal.
Where to start? Crazy Few days...
250 Wizamet SI as I have never tried them and if they are the same as Polsilvers, $50 shipped for 250 is a deal.
200 Israeli Personnas for $25 was too good to pass up as they are one of my favourite blades and I am running low
200 Lord Silver Stars because why not? for just over $10/100 including shipping and tax
100 Lord Cool as I haven’t tried them and like lord blades. And they are dirt cheap.
The above isn’t my normal buying behaviour, but I wanted to stock up before I do the October GRUME as I miserably failed in Sept.
I doubt I will buy any more blades for a year or two as I am sitting on almost 3000.

If your red personna come in with a german circle flag on them, they are the new german made "israeli red personnas".Where to start? Crazy Few days...

Just an FYI. Tucks have "platinum" written in a gold background rectangle.
I just bought 100 Derby Premium half blades. I am finding my Broman works with almost any blade - even the green Derby professional blades that I used to hate. So I am hoping these will be good as they have good reviews overall and are reasonably priced.
