You seem confused. Obviously none of you blades made a lasting impression on you. So, buy some Gillette 7 O'clock Yellows, and you wont be confused about which blade to choose anymore.
No so, Im just working through the masses. I love GSB's and Astra SP's, the sharks and the Rapira SS were meh. I wont be buying them in the future
I'm just looking for any reason to promote Gillette 7 O'clock Yellows, because they are about the best I have ever used, as far as sharpness, smoothness, and longevity. And I've used about every to p tier blade out there, as well as several great vintage blades.
Well, I guess thats 3 more tucks of blades that I need to buy. Luckily, blades are easy to hide! I was actually going to order the SI's last time but they were out of stock
