I just tried these blades for the first time today. Extremely comfortable shave! Plenty sharp, plenty smooth. I will have to see how this blade wears as the shaves go on, but I really like these blades so far. I used a Fatboy on the lower settings. Because I was rushing my shave and had quite a bit of growth, I need to follow up on closeness and efficiency with another shave tomorrow. I’m usually a one pass guy, maybe two like today if I have more stubble; but, I’d like to see how efficient and close it is for a single pass tomorrow. I think it will do well, but I need to confirm. What’s your experience with these blades?
Short review on Gillette 7 o’clock SharpEdge (yellow)
- Thread starter Bud2024
- Start date
I like the current version of these blades quite a bit, but I have to admit the cheapskate in me doesn’t enjoy the price.
Yup. One of the best I've ever used.
I only have a 5-tuck - date 6/12/20, no country of origin, English and (I think) Arabic writing. I tried one when I was starting wet shaving in a 70's English tech, as did a friend at the same time, and neither of us found it particularly sharp. @helicopter has tested 3 and believes pre-2017 product may be better.
Looks like I ‘need’ to revisit the yellows!!
Great review!
Great review!
Well, after seeing how much love these blades get I had to try another - this time in a pre-war Tech - and I have to say this time it seemed to live up to its name! Amazing how one's view can change with a bit of experience. Too early to say if I will love them though.
