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

A little of both. I usually use a Straight Razor, if that doesn't explain it all.

 

No straight razors here but I do like razors with combs, either long or short. Blades? So many and so many are excellent, I typically use a blade all week and sometimes more and none ever need replacing mid shave. Shave on.

 

That’s one of my favorites!

 

on the way..
was sent 2 tucks some time ago by our good friend
@jgreenepa .hope he's doing ok.

 

Let me know how the Suneko's work out for ya? When I see you gifting guys with Platinum Gillette? I makes me wonder. I've been using the blue box platinums and to me they're super. What's the old saying? YMMV?

 

blue boxed plats are my favorite go to but they will only be around for so long now.i have around 600 of them,many years worth in theory.

 

Wilkinson Sword (India) was my last 100 blade purchase. They offer the best balance of sharpness and longevity for me. It's my go-to blade for everything.

On the fence about these. These gave a smooth enough first shave, but not as smooth as the ones I usually like. The aftershave feedback was there, these weren't as good as we've been told, or they might just need to calm down after this first shave. One more shave should tell.

Edit: The first shave was with 4-5 days growth.
Second shave very smooth, on 2 days growth. I will continue to use this blade, until it stops giving good results.

Update: 52 shaves with the first blade. A fantastic blade.

 

Gary, you ever thought of the idea on taking less vitamins? I'm certain that good nutrition plus vitamin supplements are causing your beard to thicken and grow like scrub brush? Well my thoughts on the matter anyway? Oh? And by the way? Merry Christmas to you and to yours.

 

Happy Christmas Mac.

Excellent Blade

.

 

I have a hundred Gillette Platinums and fifty Minoras headed my way.

The Plats are outstanding blades. I have a pre-existing stash of 200 or so, but was offered a deal I couldn’t refuse. So I didn’t

Never tried the Minoras, so why not?

 

minoras aren't bad.easily 7 ockock yellow/geen like imo.the blue/white box plats are my go to..

200 received today.

I am very impressed with these blades, so far. I am trying to see how many shaves can be had, before the blade gives it up. So far 11 shaves and still going strong.

Update: 52 shaves on one blade. These are fantastic.

 

i really like them in 2 favorite gillettes so far.if they last 10 shaves for me i will get more..

 

RFB and the New?

 

they are favorites too Mac.rocket hd and slim adjustable.

 

My latest 100 blade purchase was Derby Premiums, for the following reasons:

1. They give me close shaves.
2. They give me very comfortable shaves.
3. They are very reasonably priced.
4. They are widely available.
5. And I only had about six months worth of blades left.
