Blade section?

[rdangelo]

I don't see a section of the General Shaving Talk forum about blades. Anyway, my two cents is:

In my two months of shaving the right way, I have gotten a sampler of a bunch of blades, and they are very easy for me to rank. I have tough whiskers, wimpy skin and a very contoured cleft chin - the classic triple-threat...

From best results to worst:
"Euro-Gillette" Platinum - by far the best shaves, perfect
Personna in the red boxes - bloodless and relatively close
Bic - bloodless but not too close
Dovo (did I spell that right?) - like Bic
Merkur - nick city
the cheap American drugstore ones - blood bath

Feather I haven't tried yet. A bit nervous on that one.

Are these differences the same with others of you?

I don't see a section of the General Shaving Talk forum about blades.

A lot of blade opinions can be found in the reviews section. Blade discussion often shows up in here (Safety Razors).

It is rather hard to know what blades you have tried that you are describing as "Cheap American drugstore ones", since there are a lot of different blades available in drug stores. In my experience, some of these are quite bad and others are quite good.
