Comprehensive List of DE Blades

I would eventually like to turn this into a "what's the best blade in this razor" poll, but my first step is a list of all currently manufactured and readily available DE blades (meaning you don't have to travel to the country of origin to buy them....)

I need to know if there is a better way to describe these so Noobs (and I) can actually tell them apart by the names above. I also need to know what I'm missing.

 

BIC DE blades are the first the come to mind


Should also probably what brands the walmart, cvs, etc. are.

 

Added BiC;

and I found a list on the other guys, but I don't think it's got everything in it....

list of blades

 

Also there is the Japanese company Kai. A person on and
is selling some.

 

I saw somewhere about South African "Lion" blades.

 

I don't think KAI makes DE blades any more. They seem to be focused on straights and scissors....
company publications

I have seen thier blades for sale from individuals, but couldn't find a regular supply.

it DOES look like they still make injector blades...

sent the company an email to try and make sure...

 

The national match company out of South Africa makes a full line of shaving stuff (along with matches- go figure...)

added Lion

I don't think they're avaible in the US, but Austrailia and Britian, among lots of other countries, were pictrued on thier sales map

 

Just picked up some Vincent Hard Stainless Double Edge Razor Blades. Will post picture later and use my jewelers loop to read the "small"
print.

 

Hi Gents,

KAI double edge razor blades on Ebay. Limited stock available.

Thanks,
Jason

 

where did you find the Vincent? I brief google didn't bring up any suppliers...

Vincent Blades

Made in China

added Vincent. Couldn't find an "established retailer," but lots and lots available from many sellers on ebay, etc.

the company name on the box is Sewicob in PA

 

How about 'Shogun' brand from Japan.
Could very well be from the same factory as Feathers Platinum.
But this one is non-platinum coated, just as the Feathers non-platinum.

Regards,
Jason

 

any information on who makes them? I couldn't find any on google...

 

I believe Shogun is made by Feather, but it is non platinum coated.
Just as the Feathers non-platinum coated. Same packaging even.

Regards,
Jason

 

thanks. Added Shogun

 

I sent emails to Feather and KAI because neither featured DE blades on their websites. Hopefully I have some answers. I'm really trying to stick to blades that pass the 'currently manufactured and readily available' test

 

Hopefully you should be able to get a definitive answer from them. I know that I could not see any DE blades on KAI's Japanese site.

Edit: Feather does have their DE blades listed on their site in the Japanese section.(I have very limited reading ability in Japanese, but managed to find the part where it is listed.)
