    I bought 200 Feather blades recently. Does that count?

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    Several years ago I rated these as the worst blades ever made when I did a long run of blade trials. Came up with all sort of other names of them. Limping Sparrow. Diseased Vulture. You get the idea. And having tried them, I KNOW you get the idea. :angry019::angry032::angry021:

    200 Treet Black Beauties. To get that carbon feel and sound when I'm craving it.

    You, sir, are a brave man. Chinese blades are a minefield. There are some good ones, but I found a lot of bad ones in the bunch. I'd love to hear your opinions on all of the ones you're trying. Clearly we agree on the Moldy Chickens...er...Flying Eagles, but I'm eager to hear about the others.

  8. My latest 100 blade purchase was some Gillette Platinums nearly two years ago now. Still working through this pack of blades, as they are one of my favorite blades to use. Considering getting a 100 pack of Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless blades, as I was quite a fan of the ones I bought in a sample pack.

    300 FlyDear blades on Ali. I really started to like them. Extremely smooth and sharp in my vintage Gillettes.

    Perma Sharp. 100x
    $9.88
    I had High Hopes for these, but, they were just OK. They didn't hold up very well, and dulled after a couple of shaves. I wouldn't order these again. For the money, Suneko, or Gillette 7 o'clock Yellows are much better.
