What's Your Latest 100 Blade Purchase, And Why??

well,no but it's 1 of a few.

 

Yesterday I bought 100 packs of Gillette London Bridge, Gillette Super Blue Stainless Steel and Crown Platinum blades. I got good shaves from the packet of London Bridge blades as well as Crown Platinum blades; I’m curious about the Super Blue blades made of stainless steel so I bought them as well. I bought them from Razor Blades Club via eBay.

 

Are they vintage, or modern made London Bridge?? Pics??

 

They’re modern made. Here’s the sellers picture.

 

Let me know how well they work.

 

I just picked up 100 nacets and 100 kai blades on Amazon. Really digging these kais

 

Nacets are great blades. I don't recall ever trying Kai blades. I could have, but it was probably a long time ago if I did.

 

Highly recommend giving them a revisit or visit , I guess they are thicker steel and chatter less , I had a noticably smoother shave while being just as efficient as my nacets and feathers

 

Well, how are the modern London Bridge blades working out??

.

 

They’re very good mid aggressive blades.

 

How's the longevity?

I can get 3 good shaves out of this blade despite my super tough stubble.

 

Just picked up 200 blades:
100 Gillette Platinum
100 Gillette Nacet

Both are very reasonably priced and among my top five favorite blades.

300 Astra SPs
30 Gem SEs
10 Personna Hair Shaper blades

 

Wow, it's almost been 4 years since I bought any blades. I still haven't used up my first 100...

 

Grabbed 100 Treet Carbon Steels.
The last carbons I used was some NOS vintage Gillette ones (very thick and blue).

 

In this case the B.A.D.

 

A few months ago:

Perma-sharp gold
Permasharp green
Silver Star

I just felt like stocking up on some relatively inexpensive blades, and I heard good things about all 3.

I've mentioned in previous posts that I don't detect much difference, if any, among blades, but now I'm changing my tune. For the first time in my wet shaving life (about 10 years), I'm sticking to a very limited number of razors, and just changing the blades. I've been sticking with 3 razors (Green Cult 1.1, Rockwell plate 4, and to a lesser extent, Feather AS-D2.) With the Rockwell, I'm finding that the Silver Star does not perform as well as other blades I've been using (more than just the above list.) I find the need to buff more. I think it worked better in the Green Cult. The plus side is that with the Silver Star I sometimes often don't need to use the styptic pencil. It is still a very usable blade for me, though.

Live and learn.

BTW, the above alone will last me 6 years, since I"ve never found a blade that doesn't last a week shaving every day.

 

I don't recommend these. I tried them with two different razors. The experience was bad to worse. Not sharp. I was about to toss them into the garage can.
