Well, folks, it's been a little while since my last blind blade test. I had a bit of a RAD phase and there were a number of new razors I wanted to use, including a 2013 R41, a Schick I2 Hydro-magic Injector, and a Gillette New short comb. And I wanted to use a few old favourites again too.
I have quite a few tests lined up, thanks in part to some kind donations, so it was a tough choice this time. But a couple of my recent shaves have been with a Gillette Silver Blue blade, which seemed very sharp to me, and people have suggested doing a test with it. So here it is - Silver Blue vs Indian 7 O'Clock Black.
This time I'm using my Edwin Jagger razors - the plastic-handled equivalent of the DE89, in two different colours...
I've loaded the two razors blind and don't know which blade is in which, and I'll be having my first shave within the next hour - watch this space!
(Full details of the thinking behind these tests can be found in the thread here.)
