What’s your skin-friendliest blade?

[IMightBeWrong]

Just curious. I really enjoy Feather and GSB blades but if I use either every single day it’s a bit much for my skin.

I would have to say that so far, the Voskhod blades have been my most skin-friendly blades to date. Keen enough for a good BBS shave without being aggressive.

What blades have you found shave very well without being aggressive on the skin?

 

[GR5233]

For me the GSBs work very well

For me the GSBs work very well

Me too. And also I like the Rapira Platinum Luxs

 

[wb8164]

I'd vote Astra SP and then Rapira PL. Both are very smooth for me.

 

[TexOkie Shaver]

BIC
Feather
Astra

My preference:
Personna Red
Nacet
Personna Lab Blue
GSB

 

[Tostig]

By skin friendly I assume the meaning is, "sharp enough to get the job done, but with a primary focus on smoothness and non-irritation".

For this criterion, I would probably choose Personna Red and Gillette Platinum.

I'd definitely not include Nacet, and probably not GSB either, tbh, though both are in my top 5.

 

[Atlantic59]

Probably Personna Med Prep, Wizamet Super Iridium or Gillette Platinum.

Crown Super Stainless

1. Wilkinson Sword (German)
2. Personna Red
3. Crystal Platinum
4. Personna Lab Blue
5. Viking's Sword

 

[JoWolf]

For me a Voskhod.

 

[Tostig]

I think @JCarr is correct, I'm adding the Wilkie.

My take:
1. Wilkinson Sword
2. Personna Red
3. Gillette Platinum

 

[Space_Cadet]

Personna Red. An incredibly skin-friendly blade. There are other very good blades that excel in that specific criterion, but none more so than the Personna Red.

 

[Mitzie]

Treet cardon steel -very gentle

What blades have you found shave very well without being aggressive on the skin?

I am curious, what blade angle do you use; steep, neutral or shallow. Just trying to get a handle on why your skin cannot cope with a daily shave.
The smoothest for me are Gillette Silver Blue closely followed by Astra SP and I shave daily at a neutral or shallow blade angle depending on the razor.

Shark SS

 

[steffenapelz]

In my experience, the answer would be dependent on which razor I am using. I think it would be a different blade for each razor I own:

Fatip Gentile = Rapira Platinum Lux
Wolfman WR2 = Gillette Yellow
RR Lupo = Gillette Yellow
RR GC68 = Astra SS
Tatara Masamune = Nacet
RR SLOC = Rapira Platinum Lux

 

[musicman1951]

PolSilver SI or Gillette Platinum.

 

[BigJ]

My top-tier (in no particular order):
GSB
Nacet
Astra SP
Personna red (Israeli)
Personna lab

 

[alla2465]

Feather.
