Gillette Silver Blue Double Edge Blades

These are one of my favorite blades. I always get a great shave. Sharp and yet smooth.

These blades are very sharp yet smooth. One of my favorite brands.

I've tried lots of DE blades, from cheap to expensive. The Silver Blue has been the one I keep coming back to, and that I judge others by. From the first to the last shave, they give me the best shave. I figure that I get about 7-8 shaves per blade, whereas with some less expensive blades I get 4 or 5. I don't think of these blades as "aggressive" or "mild"...but they ARE SHARP and give a smooth shave, making any razor I put them in just a touch better.

I love these blades !!
Combined with the excellent service from Phil

If you have a favorite Russian blade have a third party slip one into your razor. I would rate these just below Polsilvers- by a hair.
