Thread: Generic descriptions for popular DE blades?

For me the current favorites are the Feather, Gillette 7O'Clock (yellow), Astra SP. In that order. YMMV.

Yea the feather is my go to blade. The Gillette yellow is next in line.

Feather, then Polsilver Iridium. Tc

Tight razor with good clamping and less edge exposure=thin blade. Loose clamping older razor or lots of blade edge exposure= Stiff thicker blade.
Trial and error is the way we learn.
Blade sample pack is a good start. Learning one razor/ blade needed at a time is the way to go. Angle of blade edge to face is very important!!
YMMV?

Same for me...

A sampler kit might be the way to go. I've found through trial and error that Astra SP, Gillette 7 o'clock yellow and Personna lab blue blades work best for me. A sample pack might take out some expensive guesswork for you.

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.

This and everything else.
