Thread: De blades

I haven't used any DE but my 34G in over 2 years. While I prefer Astra SP in it, I still rotate Merkur (yes, I'm probably in the minority ) and Personna Red blades in my 34. My son-in-law, however, will not use any blade but Feathers in his 34c. Maybe it's an age thing as I prefer a milder blade and he prefers sharper.

So far, the Astra blades have been the best blade for me hands hand although I have only tried three blades so far. i keep hearing great things about the Reds so I am definitely going to grab a pack and try those out. The GIllette silver blue hands down have been the worst of the bunch for me. Majof razor burn and actually made me bleed.

Feathers for sure

My go to blades are feather and astra. I've sampled quite a bit more...but always come back.

When I use one of my DE Razors, either my Weber or my Above the Tie Razor, I always use Wilkinson Sword DE/SS Razor Blades. If I don't have a Wilkinson Razor Blades I use only Astra SP/DE. Since I have been having many problems with my hands going numb I am using a Cart Type Razor. I am using a Gillette Fusion Flex Ball Razor. Also I have been lurking here lately, and I haven't shaved for several days. But I will be shaving in a couple of days because I need to take SWMbO out to dinner on our anniversary.
