    Hi. I just ordered 2 of each of the following blades:

    Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharpedge (Yellow) - Russia

    Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless (Green) - Russia

    Feather HI-Stainless - Japan

    Supermax Stainless - India

    Supermax Blue Diamond - India

    Astra Superior Platinum - Russia

    Dorco Platinum ST-301 - South Korea

    Wilkinson Sword - Solingen (Germany)

    Shark Super Chrome - Egypt

    Rapira Stainless - Russia

    Personna Platinum - Israel

    Shark Stainless - Egypt

    Astra Superior Stainless - Russia

    Derby - Turkey

    Polsilver Super I

    Two questions for you all. 1) what's an american built brand/rendition?

    2) where can I get american blades from in the UK?

    I'm not sure how each of these blades will perform but I will ensure I keep a shave diary and provide my opinion on each of the blades in both a safety and a Shavette

    Get the Derby blades out of the way first, then on to the Baili, Shark and Astra.

    Use the Derbys first, that'll give you a baseline for what shaving with a rusty butter knife is like.

    Ha ha. I already know what that feels like because I am one of those people that really isn't that impressed with wilkinson sword! Although they do seem to improve on the third shave!
