100 Silver Blue Double Edge Razor Blades Made in Russia by 7 O'clock

Gillette Silver Blue Blades are sharp, smooth and last for a few shaves. Can't really go wrong at this price for the 100 blades. Delivery was fast and blades came as pictured.

These seem to be above average in sharpness while being quite smooth.I would put them a step higher than the Astra Greens.They are a bit hard to find and due to certain events may disappear from the market altogether.Mine were shipped in a plain envelope and one of the 5 pack boxes was crushed. The rest were fine. Try to order together with something light and soft (so hopefully Amazon puts them in a box).Note that the razor blades are held to the paper envelopes with 4 dabs of wax (to protect the blade edge from shifting and rubbing into the paper). Most people do not mind this, but some may have strong preferences.

Really high quality blades and gives a nice smooth shave.

My husband says these are great! They don't pull on skin, just glides over smoothly. We have tried other brands but these have been the best. Absolutely recommend these double edged blades.

I started DE shaving about six weeks ago with a Parker 96R and a Merkur 34C, and a sample pack of blades. I've learned a few very important things about DE shaving. First, you will have to find the razor that best suits you. I liked the Parker when I first started using it, but quickly realized the Merkur is much better for me. I liked the shorter handle and much more compact head. The second thing I learned is that you have to go through a rigorous testing process with the blades to find the one you like the most.I loved the Derbys after using them for a week and thought "this is it - I'm going to buy 100 of these." Then I used the Gillette 7 O'Clocks in the green package, and thought "no, these are the best." I really wanted to like the Feathers, because lots of online articles say they are the best - and they're expensive, so they have to be good, right? Well, they do give a good shave, but with lots of nicks. Went on to the Sharks, threw them out after two shaves. Really liked these Gillete blues too. So, I narrowed it down to the green and blue Gillettes and the Derbys. I switched blades every two days, and sometimes every day, to get a feel for which blade I liked the most. After six weeks and lots of shaves, these Gillette Silver Blues really give me the best shave, with no cuts, and seem to last several days.Another very important thing to experiment with is shaving cream and, for me, shaving oil. I use Taylor of Old Bond Street cream, a good badger brush, and I made my own shaving oil with two parts castor oil and one part olive oil, with a few drops of lavender to make it smell better. I've tried shaving with and without the oil, and with the oil definitely gives a smoother shave with fewer (actually, zero) cuts.No razor, and no razor blade, is "best" for everyone. Try different razors (they're not that expensive at $30-ish each) and plan to spend a month or more testing blades. Once you know what you like, buy a ton of them and enjoy. But be sure you understand that DE shaving is a "system" of the right razor, blades, brush, cream, and oil. Skimp on any one of these and it can be a miserable experience and steep learning curve.

Well I guess I'm just having a blast. I tested the sharpness level of and reviewed Feather double edge razor blades last week and then turned around and ordered Dorcos, Derbies, Sharks, Personnas and Gillette Silver Blues. I already had Astras and Wilkinson Swords on hand so didn't need to order them again. I tested again with the same edge sharpness instrument that I had used to test the Feathers. The company that sells the sharpness tester (my instrument is the one designed to test straight edge razors) says that they are going to make additional test media available on Amazon and I may need it if I keep this up. I could describe the test procedure I used and make this review long and drawn out but won't bore you with the details. In a nut shell ; while there appears to be some very small differences between these various brands in initial sharpness levels there isn't enough to write about. This is as opposed to the Feathers that tested a full 40% sharper. Please don't shoot the messenger! I am not a Feather salesman. In fact, the somewhat anecdotal preliminary tests I have conducted indicate that the superior edge on a Feather goes away very rapidly and much more rapidly than that of the less expensive brands but don't chisel that in stone just yet. Please keep in mind also that I tested only one product of each brand so it is possible that other models within the same brand might be sharper (or duller). If I come up with a good edge durability test I may be back because I'm just having to much fun with all this testing.

Can’t go wrong! I usually shave 1-3x a week. I want my blade to at least last the week. Plus avoid cutting and pulling. Tried derby and Parker, both made me use Styltic pencil. The Gillette were such a smooth shave, I only needed to just wash face. They also last 4-6 shaves! Plus razor burn is basically nil while other gave me bad ingrown. I use a shavette and just break the blade in half!
