    Started out with MERCUR blades, bought some ASTRA & Blue bird blades and my FEATHER blades just arrived from Thailand (took 5 weeks, 50 blades for $13.00 w/ free shipping). The testing begins. Will be using my MERCUR heavy duty DE 38C.

    Thanks for the link. Intetesting. And the results so far match, ASTRA are the best of the first three tested. Just so much fun experimenting.

    I am taking advice from the link . I will solely use the blue bird blades for 30 days. Then when I get my technique down, i will move to the other blades. Just a note: these are the dullest blades. Maybee 2 shaves at best per blade with too many passes. I have a hundred of these so will not mind burning through them.
