    My favorites are GSB, Nacets, Polsilvers, and Perma-Sharps.

    I started with Personnas then went to Astras. I traded away the Personnas and the Astras are just gathering dust; I'll probably trade those away as well.

    Two brushes ....

    One is a Kent and the other I think is a beat the snot Plisson. The price was a steal and I'll probably restore both; the box was just a bonus.

    thats funny , i sold my personna platinums to my friend as well, wasn t enamoured with them compared to my others.1 have 100 permasharps, well 99, stashed away..my astras sp i use still..i never bothered with sample packs because i supply my friends with blades.. one of them can shave with a cat food tin lid and doesn t care what the box says..there may be more to that than one thinks..i have gillette platinums for special occasions...yeah right..have you noticed any benefit to using vintage gillette spoilers or schick blades? are they worth the extra money and effort to source them ?subjective but some folks go out of there way to find them.are todays off continent blades filling the void?

    I was blessed with a PIF of a great variety of blades to try, and I found many that people reaver as the best and the greatest in blades, to be not much better than an unforgiving shard of glass against my skin. I look for the combination of sharpness, smoothness and longevity in a blade; I found those qualities only in a hand full of blades that I've mentioned. This all said I do not seek blade nirvana, but I only seek to enjoy my hobby. :)
