Finished up the week this morning with the 7th shave using the Gillette 7 O’clock Yellow. It is a fantastic blade, one of my favorite. Maybe top 3?
I was super impressed with the Yellow's. Definitely my next bulk purchase!

My thoughts too.I was super impressed with the Yellow's. Definitely my next bulk purchase!
Your list (so far) does appear to support the general consensus that the real premium blades have a distinct advantage to the largely mediocre brands.
Next up is the Gillette PermaSharp, starting tomorrow.
Treet King blades came to me too, I bought two hundred blades without even trying a sample.Amazon had been selling these blades for the tremendous price of $5.99. They just went up $2. Still this is an excellent value. This is definitely a blade that flies below the radar.
Very much like the now much higher priced Voshkod's. And similar to the Silver Blue. It is a very smooth shaving blade.
Does the purchase of two hundred pieces of the Treet Kings that I paid $15.9503 at the euro exchange rate look good to you?Amazon had been selling these blades for the tremendous price of $5.99.

That's about the regular price for USA residents.Does the purchase of two hundred pieces of the Treet Kings that I paid $15.9503 at the euro exchange rate look good to you?
I had been thinking about this purchase for some time and finally convinced myself to proceed because I read several favorable opinions here.
The Cool is a true sleeper.Lord Cool
I have completed 3 shaves with the Lord Cool in 6 days. 1 great shave, 1 very good one, and an OK but somewhat uncomfortable session with some light razor burn. By the third shave, I was having some difficulty getting as close of a cut as I wanted and I had to finish the job with a disposable razor.
The Cool cuts extremely well when you have a fresh edge, but seems to decline quickly. I would have to test this over an extended period with multiple tucks to know for sure but that is my observation. I have to ding it on points for longevity. It might be a great 1 and done blade and at 8 cents a blade, it's not expensive at all.
Overall, it's my top Lord so far in this year's tests.

How many years have you been using them?
Have you tried Dorco Primes? I have seen multiple reviews comparing them to Voshkod blades.
Then it's the same price for European residents.That's about the regular price for USA residents.
Yes, I had tried them a few years ago it seems to me I didn't like them very much.Have you tried Dorco Primes? I have seen multiple reviews comparing them to Voshkod blades.
Sleepers? Does that mean you are no longer using them!The Cool is a true sleeper.
Used one once with a sample pack years ago.Then it's the same price for European residents.
Yes, I had tried them a few years ago it seems to me I didn't like them very much.
I should try them again.
The Dorco Titans are my current favorites.
