Thread: Polsilver vs Feather

which is better? are there any other iridium blades on the market other than the polsilver?

As far as I am aware, the Polsilver blades are the same Super Iridium blades that were discontinued a year or two back. I believe the production has been moved elsewhere and that was the reason for their brief absence.
I have used Feathers from the outset of DE use and a trial of the Iridiums a couple of years back impressed me. They are virtually identical in sharpness but smoother. I am on my last 10 pack of Feathers and will be switching to the Polsilver once the Feathers are exhausted.

I've used the old Iridiums and the Feathers and though the Iridiums are great blades they don't match the feather's for sharpness. I don't think anything does.

I have tried the Supers, Polsilvers, Feathers, and Personna meds, which are all supposed to be in the same bracket.

I tried them in three different razors for three shaves.

37c - feathers (smooth for all three and sharp ATG)
Super I (smooth for all tugged ATG shave 3)
Polsilvers (smooth all tugged ATG all 3 shaves)
Personna Med (nicks shave 1 smooth 2,3 ATG tugged 3)

EJ 89 Barley - Feather (nicks 2 shaves ATG sharp all three)
Super I
Polsilvers - (tugged all three almost gave up)
Personna Med (smooth all 3 and started tugging ATG on shave 3)

'57 SS Red Tip - same results pretty much as the EJ except Supers were smooth and performed like Meds

I concluded and this is just my findings that the feathers performed best for me and I keep a wine cork in shave den to lap them if using in EJ or SS.

Polsilver > feather for me.
Lasts a few days longer.
I use Slim adjustable.

polsilver iridium. fav blade.
