Decent Double Edge Blades, Please.
At home I only use a straight edge, but I don't ever fly anywhere with one: the idea of having it found in my case, let alone my jacket pocket(!) and getting hauled off for questioning, is way too much of a risk. I travel a 1960's "butterfly" Gillette, at least I did until I noticed the only double edge blades I can buy locally --Wilkinson stainless -- had gone seriously downhill. I used to get plently of shaves per blade, and even if I got stuck without a spare, I could then put the blade into the head upside down and use the other side of the edge. However I think they must have changed their production venue, because now they won't stay sharp at all, no matter how carefully I dry them. So please can you recommend a trustworthy product (that doesn't break the bank) -- at least one that outlasts the plastic disposables that for the moment have had to replaces those stupid Wilkinsons?
Decent Double Edge Blades . . .
Hello, Blackpool:
Of the double edge razor blades I have used through the years, I like and recommend the following:
Feather, Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge (yellow packs), Super Iridium, Persona (red packs) and Derby.
For me, nothing comes anywhere near Feather blades.
I have bought many products from Connought, because their prices are reasonable and their service excellent.
Regards,
Obie
