Hello! I want to thank you for your videos. Almost a year ago I had a stroke and so the shaving pretty well had to go out the window. I stumbled onto your videos just a few days ago and had a thought. why not see if I am to a place in my recovery where I can shave again. Before my wife was having to groom my face with a trimmer, and I hadn't had a close shave in many months. I went out on Monday, bought a safety razor and some shaving soap and I now have maybe the closest shave I have ever had. I am tired, but I can do it!! I will use shaving every couple days as part of my recovery process. Thank you for your videos. I don't know if it is what you set out to do, but they have inspired me.

I regularly use and love the Personna Platinum razor blades. They feel very sturdy, well made, last a long time, and don't give you a bad razor burn if you're not careful. Still, my favorite blades are the Astra SP, they're a bit sharper than the rest of the "average" ones and can give you a bad shave if you're not careful, but I like how they feel on my skin. Although, they tend not to last for too long and can get some rust on the surface after a few shaves.

Great review. and for the most part I agree. I'm not a fan of the Feather Blades, tried them and just did think they were for me... they're very sharp, seem to perform nest on the the second use and then kinda crap out on they third use. I actually like the ASTRA Superior Platinum blades better. I try and use various blades from Wilkinson, Viking and others. But the Personna Lab Blue Comfort Coated are the best of both worlds... comfortable and sharp, just not too aggressive. Furthermore, I have very tough bristly whiskers and the Personna Lab Blue blades give me four great shaves rather then two. That just me, everyone should use what works best for them. Blessings to you and yours, and take care. Aho!

Astra's are king for me as my go to blade, they really are the perfect balance of sharpness and smoothness, plus, I have a very thick, coarse beard. They works very well in my Muhle R41 and my less aggressive razors as well, all around, they are amazing. I do love Feathers and Kai equally. Voskhod are tuggy for me, however I have about 300 of these babies, so being the cheap guy that I am, I will eventually use them up. When I use up all of my other blades, I will only use Astra and Feather.

The razor I used is still my Vanderhagen, and the blades I have been using for the longest time have come from dollar general, which research tells me are offbrand Dorco blades. I was receny forced to look elsewhere for blades and grabbed me a sample pack. The astra blades were sharp, but most def not smooth. Then I tried Personna Blues. OMG. I'm gonna work my way through the different brands, but unless i get a better shave, I am going full Personna. Maybe I'll even try a red.

I suspect Feather may be too sharp. I'm saving that until I'm more experienced so I don't mangle my face.

Nick, question. The Treet Black Beauties, would you say they perform better in the R41 and or an open comb? Looking for the perfect 'used' blade feel. What would you recommend? I started doing two pass shaves. First pass with the R41 and a Voskhod and second pass the R106 with a 'used' Feather blade. I'm 6 mos into the DE world. 10 razors, 12 brushes, and countless soaps later...blah, blah... I'm in search of a blade that gives a good 'used' feel to it. Primarily I use Feather, Voskhod and Astra. Feather is still feared and respected. Looking forward to the Black carbon steel Treet. Glad I subscribed to your channnel. BTW, you're reviews are high end in my book. You, Paulhfilms, Geofatboy, ilather, and Kensurfs in that order are my faves! Always learning from your experiences my good man. Again, thank you for your time and effort. Hoo-YAH MOTIVATOR!

I have been experimenting with different blades and shave soap. My beard didnt like neither Astra nor Derby. The Treet black is called carbon, and it is one of my favourite. But it is good for only two shaves one on each side before they become dull. My beard is medium coarse and I shave every second day on setting 6 of my Viking Emperor adjustable razor. There are many Treet models. One of their worst is Treet Platinum ( not for coarse beard.) I have tried both the Persona and Feather and I couldn't tell the difference. Both are equally great and provide smooth shave. The worst is 7'O'Clock the yellow ( not in this video,) it gave me Nicks and irritation. Bic is also awsome by the way. I will try Voskood based on your video next time Thanks

Less cuts and as long as I switch them regularly, there is no tug.

I'm just not sure how I feel about a duller razor blade, but I shall see.

On my skin i prefer the LORD Super Stainless. I can get 10 shaves before I start to feel tugging. And I typically shave every other day. They work well in all of my razors.

Pretty much the same, except throwing in the Rapira Chrome, maybe in exchange of the feather I thought they'd be the same as the other Rapiras, but was massively surprised. Would strongly urge a test run :)

I could not agree more with your ranking. I took my time - like 2 years - I tried all the ones you mentioned and many more - to prove you... right. We might have a very similar skin type / technique combination.

Agreed! I normally use Astra but just got some Permasharp. They are now my new favorite.

Hello, NICK, thank you so much for your videos! Have you ever tried Gillette Nacet Stainless (Made in Russia) blades?

I love yellow gillette, personna platinum, ladas and voskhod!all others, such as gillette silver blue, treet, bolzano or trig did not work at all! Tritons R3 are so so!

I started with the persona blues but after awhile I just didn't like the performance I got from them and switched to feather and haven had a problem with the. I love them!

I find Dorco and Gillette 7 o'clock work well in my open comb Parker 27C and with my coarse beard hair. Feather and Merkur are pretty good, too, but better be at their price and actually have a tendency to shave off a little skin with the beard the first day or two.

Great video, just a little language tip. Voskhod (Восход) is pronounced Vaschot (Vas-ch-ot, ch as in loch). It's Russian and means sunrise.

The Voshkod is my blade of choice in both my Merkur 34c and my Razorock 4pc open comb. I agree with everything you said about the blade. Have wanted to try the Perma Sharp.
