Which is your choice/favorite type of 7'o clock blade?

[Gam]

Another vote for the Black's,I just love the smoothness of this blade.

[Kostas1]

Black, Russian Green, Blue, Yellow..in that order for me.

[chrismikehead]

Yellows are my everyday blade, mostly in my 40's SS. I had so-so results with Indian Greens a year or so back. I am trying out a pack of the Blues right now. With one blade down in both the 40's SS and my Merkur HD, I can see them making a bid for at least equal time, and might become my blade of choice in the HD. I will probably try out the Blacks sometime later this summer.

[Valerius]

Blue platinums from Russia are my choice.

[shep12]

Best for me are 1) yellow 2) black and 3) Blue. 7'Oclock blades, overall, are the best I've found.

[gtuck]

My choices are in order--
1) Czech blues
2) Yellows
3) Russian blues
4) Blacks--only because they are so sharp and unforgiving to my somewhat sloppy ways. As I improve my technique, they will come in second.

I like the Yellows but Mendel and Syngent sent me some Blacks and I can't wait to try them

[Teddyboy]

For me, it depends in what razor the blade is used. In a Slim Adjustable, I could not believe how great the Yellow O'clock was, when it pulled a bit in the Merkur 38c.

[Predict]

Black

[Jack Russell]

Blue for me.

[bluesbishop]

Blacks, followed by Czech blues, then Russian Blues.

[rxonmymind]

Blue.
Then Silver blue
Personna blue
see a pattern here?...lol

[itsmedave]

Blacks for me now then Yellows. The blacks are ultra smooth and see to be at least as sharp as the Yellows. I must thank Mendel and Syngent for allowing me to try the blades.

[Bobtrumpet]

The only ones I don't like are the greens from Russia - just too rough for me.

Of the ones I do like, I have the most experience with the Russian yellows and the Indian greens (way better than the Russian greens); about the same performance, and the greens are much less expensive.

Next would be the Russian blues (I might come to like them better than the above, but I have only used 2 of them), and last (I find them to be like Feather's - very sharp but not comfortable for me) are the Indian black blades.

[bamafan64]

I like the yellows.

[GencoOliveOilCompany]

Blacks, then Greens, then Blues, then Yellows. I find all of them to be excellent.

[bpire2002]

Just tried the blues and really liked them

[CyclingFool]

Got a small sample of the Blacks. Great shave, I'll have to do some alternate black/blue shaves to test the difference.

[JCinPA]

My favorite of those is the Super Platinum blacks from India.

Ditto!


Truth be told, I am hard pressed to differentiate these from the Blues (Russian), however.
