By pure accident, i stumbled upon a website called "Razorbladesclub", which had quite a bit of information and unknown blades to me. So i thought to compile a small database, that, if not for anything else, could be useful to newbies wondering about blades, instead of having to google endlessly. 1) Blade database (i did a copy-paste) Spoiler (Move your mouse to the spoiler area to reveal the content) Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler ASCO – SUPER STAINLESS Manufacturer: Lord Country: Egypt Coating: Stainless ASTRA – SUPERIOR PLATINUM Manufacturer: Gillette Country: Russia Coating: Platinum ASTRA – SUPERIOR STAINLESS Manufacturer: Gillette Country: Russia Coating: Stainless BAILI – SUPER BLUE Manufacturer: Baili Country: China Coating: Platinum, Teflon BIC – ASTOR STAINLESS Manufacturer: BIC Country: Greece Coating: Stainless BIC – CHROME PLATINUM Manufacturer: BIC Country: Greece Coating: Polymeric.

I thought it would be helpful to newbies and maybe some other people, because, during googling these days in order to get info about blades, i read all kind of contradictory things. I found someone naming the Derby as his favourite blade and Bluebird as his worst for example. This can't be true, since they are from the same factory and with the same coating. So most likely he got some dud blades or counterfeit or something. Or, for instance, it can be helpful to someone who likes 1 blade, to be able to see which other brand names are sold by the same manufacturer, because chances are, that you will like the other blades sold by the same manufacturer. Or, even more probable, the same blade is sold under different commercial names. Myself, when i went to my now favourite shop of "United Barbers", i ordered Shark, because i had heard them before, but they also had "Lord" and i skipped them immediately, because i thought "Lord? Never heard them before! Who knows what obscure blade this is". And later i find out that Sharks are made by Lord... Or, when i encountered "Bolzano super inox", i thought "hey, an italian blade!". Because Bolzano is in NE Italy. And later i find that it's german. Companies probably keep multiple brand names for marketing purposes. Like "you somehow develop a hate relation with Derby and are never willing to buy them again? If you don't know, we might sell you at least 1 Bluebird package again". It's a bit like with AVG and Avast Antivirus. Avast bought AVG, but they said they will continue with both brand names, because US customers are more attached to AVG than Avast brand name. So it's better for them to think that they are still using the "AVG antivirus", rather than inform them that now they are really running Avast.
