Thread: Gillette Silver Blue DE blades?

Hi, any experience with the Gillette Silver Blue DE Blades? (pros and cons)

No not for me; I just checked my sample packs & I don't have any of those blades. I'm gonna order some next time around, just to see how they are.

never have used them myself , i have read a bunch of good reviews , but we know how that is on DE blades ..
i also read that it was rumored that they are/have discontinued production of the blades and a lot og people have been buying them in bulk , but idk ????

I also heard that they are great blades and that they are a bit hard to find, maybe because people are buying them in bulk. Maybe I'll give them a go, since in the world of DE blades there's not much to loose ($)

I've tried them. I find them really sharp. I would say they're on par with Feather, however GSB is smoother than Feather IMO. But they loose their sharpness fast. I can get 2-3 comfortable shaves with 3 pass on each. I read on B&B that they're made in Russia (St. Petersburg I think),

They're discontinued, but West Coast Shaving have them in stock.

I did a comparison shave test of GSB vs. 7 O'Clock Dark Blue. Both blades are made by the same company in Russia. They are very hard to tell apart. There is talk of the 7 O'Clock blade being dropped, but I have no idea if it's true. The GSB is a very good blade and definitely worth a try.

Gillette Silver Blues are actually my favorite blade right now on the DE. Sharp enough to cut close without irritating or nicking my skin. It was funny because I used then straight out starting DE shaving when I had a sampler pack, and they happened to be my best brand. After rotating through the rest of my sample pack I went back to my original choice and never went back.
