I love how sharp and smooth these blades are, it performs great in almost every razor I have tired so far.
Who here loves Gillette SharpEdge Blades (yellow pack)?

I'll stand with ya!! I think they're pretty darn good, myself. I enjoyed them immensely.
+4 The Gillette Yellow is my go-to blade for all of my razors. I find it has the perfect combination of sharpness and smoothness.
count me in
1st shave with one this A.M. & I have to put them to the sop of my list for smoothness for sure!!!! should have bought more.
Love is a strong word, but the sharpedge is one of the few blades that are sharp enough to cut this old man's beard smoothly. I like em.
Yes! I've only been at this for about month, but I've settled on the Yellow's as my daily blade. Who cares that my girlfriend thinks that they look like a pack Chicklets, right?
Count me in! Great blade.
I'll agree to that. The Feathers, though, are more akin to an angry Samurai who's honor has been besmirched. The Yellows are more along the lines of Edward Scissor Hands....sweet, melancholy, gentle, but very effective!
My faves. I recently ordered 200 from WCS...don't want to run out soon!
I just ordered 150 Red Personnas and decided with that order to throw in a pack of these as they seem to get very high praise here. I just tested one out in my Fatboy and thought it was pretty good but not as smooth as the Personna and didn't provide me with as close of a shave. Like anything here YMMV. For now I think I will stick with the Personnas.
The yellows are sharper and smoother than the Gillette black pack, but I find them just a tad harsher than the Permasharp Stainless green pack.
I've been the most impressed with these so far. Lasted a good week too. I've got a few to keep trying right now, but the yellows could likely become my one and only.

I have tried Feathers as well and I like them too but I get just as good of a shave with the Gillettes and they are cheeper to boot!
I've used Feathers exclusively for a year now. I tried a Gillette 7 O’Clock Yellow for the first time Saturday, then shaved with it again today. It's true that they're a notch below the Feathers in sharpness (I most noticed this when shaving my chin) but I do think they're a little smoother.
If they prove themselves as longer-lasting, I may switch to them full time.

Sharper than my Astra's and Red IP's and smoother than my Feather's. Sounds like a decent combination!
They're probably my favorite blade. They seem to remove hair from my face just as well as Feathers, but they're smoother on the skin, and seem to last a little longer.
