You would still have to try all the others though......My new favourites are Personna Lab Blue, absolutely perfect for me... So sharp, so smooth. Just wish I tried them 3 years ago when first starting out.
True, perhaps it worked out just right thenYou would still have to try all the others though......
And if you tried them at the start you may not have realised, lacking technique etcTrue, perhaps it worked out just right then
I’m not sure why this should be surprising, but you are right, it is.I think I am liking Astra, Gillete Platinium and I am surprised by Gillete Silver Blue.
I've used both variants of Gillette Platinum above. Firstly these are not Swedes. Swedes are NOS blades made in either the UK or France with details of the Swedish distributer shown on the back.Since we are on the subject of blades, I have heard that Gillette has introduced, or re-introduced it's blades known as "Swedes". They are made in Russia. They don't say Swedes anywhere but say Gillette Platinum. These are not the same ones that most of us know as Gillette Platinums. The packaging is different. See below. Does anyone know how the Swedes shave as compared to Gillette Silver Blues?

So the new ones are on the left with the blue background and the white letters while the older version has the white background with the blue and silver letters. I've heard the ones on the left DO NOT replace the ones on the right. Confusing, right? Anyone with info?
