Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Sampler pack?
Posted: 2/15/2020 8:27:22 PM EDT
So it took me 2 years to use up 100 Astra Platinum blades, I went to reorder and it looks like Astra has been getting really bad reviews lately. I ordered this sampler pack to see what I would like. Any ideas what I should start with?

Just try them all.  Different blades shave differently based on the person, razor, technique, soap, cold vs hot shave,  etc.

Lord Platinums that are awesome is my Merkur 34c are terrible for me in vintage Gillettes!   Voskhods that are terrible in the 34c are really nice in a vintage TTO.

I butchered my face with Gillette 7 o’Clock blades in my old Gillette Slim Adjustable, but the same blade in my fairly-new Van der Hagen razor from Walgreens is a great shave.
