    I have tried the Gillette 7 o'clock sharp edge blades and would like to ask what is everyone's opinion on the other 7 O'clocks.

    I really like the sharp edge in my fat handle tech and my slim. Gives a nice close shave with very little irritation.

    I also like the personna in a wrapper that says super platinum. They are great but Iam having trouble finding them.

    Thanks.

    I like the blue packs, the only one I have tried. I have a pack of greens in my den, maybe I'll try one out tomorrow...

    green vs. yellow = green for me. I haven't tried any of the others.

    The Indian super plats and the permasharps are excellent

    I've liked all the Gillette 7 O'clocks I've tried, but my two favorites would be the Yellows and Greens....:)

    My favorites are the 7'O clock super stainless green packs & sharp edge yellow packs both from Russia. Both of them work extremely well in any of the razor I put them into. I'm from India but surprisingly the Indian 7'O clocks do not work for me and they end up giving me major irritation.

    Checked west coast shaving they had super platinum in a blue and another in black with 2 extra blades. is the only difference between packs is one is from Russia and the other from India?

    Hmmm, i have one package of the green and one of the yellow ones... I should give them a try.

    Could i compare them with any other blades like Astra or Feather or Ladas?! ;)

    I haven't tried the greens, the yellows just killed me, probably due to poor technique on my part as I tried them early on, but the blacks were just great for me. On par with Astra SP, Pesonna labs and, now Polsilvers SI for me. Of course (I should add it to my sig) YMMV

    I got terrible razor burn with the greens an yellows. The black was nice and the blues were excellent for me. But the only way to know is to try them all.

    For me I like the Yellows the best. The blue and black were not that great...I ended up giving them all away to my brother. The green aren't too good for my face either.

    Its really interesting to see what ones work best for what people....(just an observation)

    I've had the blue and black. Both were sharp, but the blue felt so smooth that I had to be extra careful not to use any pressure. I used them in an R89 and a Slim Adjustable with the same results. I never tried the yellow and green, thugh.

    The greens and blacks seem to work best for me.

    People are just posting whether they like the greens or not but aren't specifying which greens the permasharp greens (India) or the super stainless (from PPI in Russia)

    For me it is the super stainless greens, that work really well.

    Let's see...

    Green:
    permasharp (India)
    super stainless (Russia)

    Yellow:
    Sharpedge (Russia)

    Blue:
    Super platinum (Russia)

    Black:
    Super platinum (India)

    Am I forgetting one? Or am I wrong in anyone of them?

    So I found all but the blue pack super platinum. Does anyone have a source for these that are still in stock?
