The Crystals, if I had to pick one, are my favorite blade. Sharp, smooth, and last a long time.

When I started getting interested in straight shaving, I found another thread like this well underway, and really enjoyed reading, "The Noob Chronicle - My Straight Razor Experience", by jtdo, it drew me in totally, and to the regret of many here, I became a member...check it out if you're interested in a good read.

But have definitely been enjoying this thread as well, great reading!
Cool thread! Thanks for the link!
out of all of the Gillette ive owned the Slim is my favorite followed by an older supper speed , setting #3 with a feather blade is awesome for me !! i went five one time ( still wet behind the ears with DE then ) and almost ripped my face off ..lol .. i may try to bump it up a notch as a new Futur DE i have i ran on #3 and it is prob like a 4-5 on the Gillette ..
as far as looks go though i still love the look and feel of the slims
SuperMax Platinum on it's 4th shave was wonderful tonight on setting #5. I am noticing the longer I shave with this razor the more I like having the option to raise or lower the setting, depending on a variety of factors, including things like how many shaves are on a blade or what type of blade, among other things.
