wilki swords V.S. Gillette 7 o'clock greens (russia)

[fabchef]

Hi everyone...just wanted to get your opinion on these blades. i've used the swords for some time, but i find that they are just okay. I find that they always gave me some irritation and i find that they don't seem that consistant. Just the other day i was at the pharmacie where i usually buy the swords and next to them where tiny packs of the gillette 7 o'clocks (green) from russia with love! hahah i tried them out. First off i had just shaven the previous evening so i knew my skin would either bleed or be really irritated. I kinda got a bit of both but not as bad i thought it would be...i will try the same blade again tomorrow.
I just wanted to get you opinions on the gillette's ?
oh ya, and they do have the 4 spots of glue on the blade to hold the paper..bummer!
thanks

I am currently alternating between German Wilks which I can get locally also and the Gillette Greens from Russia. I prefer the Russian Greens myself, but I notice that I can 3 great shaves and a 4th decent shave (using a 3 pass cut). The German Wilks are a bit rough on the first shave but tend to smooth out the next day shave. I don't seem to get irritation from either blade but I find that the longevitiy of the Wilks is a bit better. I can get about 5-6 shaves from the Wilks.

I have tried the Green box Gillette's vs the Wilkinson Swords...both are fairly equal....but I find the Gillette's to be just a bit more equal.

I have and use both. They're OK but nothing to write home about. They're both usually three shaves and out for me. They both give DFS results but far from BBS. Their best feature is price.
