greetings... really looking forward to shaving tonight.
My birth year gillette slim just came in, and I've finished sanitizing it.
In about two hours it will be my shave time (head shave and face shave).
So... now which blade do I pick...

These are my limited choices:

Astra Platinum
Dorco St301
Derby's
Personna platinum (israeli)
Merkur
Feathers

I've been shaving with a merkur hd...I'm thinking I will be setting the adjustment screw to 2 or 3 for now till i get used to the slim.

thanks in advance!

Ask someone else to pick one for you and load it up for you. That way when you shave with it you won't be biased by what you are expecting it to feel like and can just give it a nice, honest try to see if you like it.
