Thread: Generic descriptions for popular DE blades?

I love the Shark in any of my vintage Gillette's.

In all of wet-shaving, I think blade preference is the ultimate YMMV situation.

I have only one DE along with a few TI SR8 and now enjoy shaving with both types, for my DE my go too was Astra Stainless (Blue) and also tried the Astra (Green) but both have seem shown inconsistencies on manufacturing like cutting through the numbers on the edges which looks like a press issue. Recently gave the Feathers another shot which seem to be easier to use since I've been using SR8 and think becoming a little more experienced with the DE. Will be trying a few other blades mentioned in this thread as I'm thinking that those who like Astra & Feathers could have similar skin and hair growth like me. Everyone to there own and what works best for them. Not a fan of Sharks, Derby, Murkur, Asco, but this could all change in a few year when skin and growth changes. Happy Sunday all

I haven't gone through all of the blades in my sampler pack but I particularly liked the Gillette Silver Blue and also had a better experience with Feather than I had in the past.

So my line up for the foreseeable future will be Astra SP, Gillette Silver Blue and Feather.

This and everything else.
