GILLETTE SILVER BLUE RAZOR BLADES SKIN

If you use too mild of a blade it will just end up tugging on those longer hairs - not a good feeling at all. Why?īecause it’s sharp enough to cut through that hair growth. If you like to shave every 3 or 4 days and have a decent amount of growth, this is a great option.

The Gillette Silver Blues are an excellent blade for guys that don’t shave every day. Great Option for Guys with a Few Days Growth It’s a sharp razor that just glides across your face. What I think makes these such great blades though is that although they might not be quite as sharp as a Feather, they are significantly more smooth than most other blades you would find that pack this much punch.īottom line: there aren’t many other options out there that can pack this much sharpness AND smoothness in one blade. However, they are right up there with the top tier when it comes to aggressiveness. Are they as sharp as Feather’s? No, pretty much nothing else is. The Gillette Silver Blue razor blades are definitely some of the sharper blades available on the market. Key Features & Characteristics Above Average Sharpness and Moderately Smooth They are marked with “Gillette Silver Blue Stainless” though so you can be sure you’re not getting some counterfeit or replacement blade. There’s nothing particularly noteworthy about the blades appearance. Inside the box though is 5 individually wrapped blades in paper. Love the classic, simple design and logo. So 5 individual blades are packed together in a box that just says “Gillette Silver Blue” on it. Regardless of what size package you order, the packaging of the blades is always the same. You don’t have this option with some other types of blades. But if you want to buy a smaller pack, it’s nice you can buy a set of 25 and not be wasteful. Obviously, the price/blade goes down when you buy the bigger packs. One of the great things about Gillette’s Silver Blue blades is that they are available to buy in packs of 25, 50 or 100. This has made it somewhat difficult in the past for wholesalers and wet shaving sellers in general to get them consistently, but it looks like that’s a thing of the past as these are available at a multitude of places online.

I think its a PITA once it gets over the edge, and my skin is sensitive enough to get ripped up by it, because once I noticed the wax after doing pass one on my right cheek. Like all performance aside, they could shave better than my all time favorite blade, and I still wouldn't buy them because of the wax. Once they wax is off they worked well for me YMMV, but I dont touch them for any reason other than the wax. I tried two more from tryablade and had wax a cunt hair away from the edge that I took off just so I didn't get into the shave and realize there was some of the edge anyway. I ordered another pack hoping the wax was a dud and it was not, but these only ran over one edge rather than both, I can tell which way they laid the majority of shipping. The first five pack I thought were horrible because of the wax I didnt notice till blade four. The wax would get hot and run and actually cover the blade edge. I live in the USA and get my blades shipped from RBC in Germany, and even the two I tried from tryablade had the same issue. The GSB blades use four wax dots placed in each corner of the blade. Most blades use one line of wax adhesive or two dots in the middle of the blade near the blades alignment slot. These blades are packageged in wax paper ss you'd normally find except they are unique for one reason. I will warn you since it seems it hasn't been said yet. New? Curious? Have questions?
