I've got my DE razor (Lord L6) and am a couple of shaves in using the blade that came with it. I just got the shipping notification that my TSD blade sample pack shipped but I'm now wondering what the best order is to try the blades. Should I just randomly pick? Are there some obvious ones to try first and some to hold back on? Here's the list, any input into which to start out with would be welcome. 1.7 AM Hi Platinum 2.Astra Superior Platinum 3.Crystal 4.Derby Extra 5.Dorco Platinum 6.Gillette 7 O Clock SharpEdge (Yellow) 7.Personna "Lab" Blues 8.Sharp Stainless 9.Super-Max Platinum 10.Treet DuraSharp 11.Voskhod 12.Wilkinson Sword Classic - White Label
What I've done was, kept a journal on my phones notes in regards to how well or poorly it worked for me. The only thing I did was saved the sharpest for last, i.e. Feather. Good luck. Happy shaving!
This 'em all into a paper bag, shake bag, close eyes, reach in and grab one. Honestly order doesn't matter. Do keep a journal as razorburn said.
I have to agree. Just keep track of what you use & how you like them. Then choose the order with help from our friends Eenie, Meenie, Miney & Moe.
Dont get rid of the ones you dont like just yet. As you add razors to your den and your tech. evolves, you will find some of the blades work quite well in other razors and the "good" ones that worked so well in your Lord stink in your new (insert brand)
When I'm asked about which baldes to use, I tell folks to read the various forums and see what the majority of people like and then try those. The more people that like a particular blade increases the chances that they are right. It's not as subjective as soap or AS . That's what I did and I've landed on Super Iridiums, Med. Preps (my favorite) and Voskhods without really trying a bunch of blades over the years.
