Hello! I want to thank you for your videos. Almost a year ago I had a stroke and so the shaving pretty well had to go out the window. I stumbled onto your videos just a few days ago and had a thought. why not see if I am to a place in my recovery where I can shave again. Before my wife was having to groom my face with a trimmer, and I hadn't had a close shave in many months. I went out on Monday, bought a safety razor and some shaving soap and I now have maybe the closest shave I have ever had. I am tired, but I can do it!! I will use shaving every couple days as part of my recovery process. Thank you for your videos. I don't know if it is what you set out to do, but they have inspired me.

Incredible story. Thanks for sharing

@davidpackkard3354 7 лет назад

*Great video Nick.* My list goes as follows: 1. Feather 2. Astra SP 3. Voskhod 4. Personna Lab Blue _IMHO_

@daviddyer2607 7 лет назад

I have an EJ 3D Diamond razor and use Feathers. Fantastic blades and as a newbie have forced me to take my time and try hard to improve my technique. Thanks to Nick for his tutorials!

@W.F.Scott3 7 лет назад

I don't think I could live without the Voskhod blades. I had great experience with the Perma Sharp. Also enjoyed the Pulsilver. Great vid man!

@NaumRusomarov 6 лет назад

I regularly use and love the Personna Platinum razor blades. They feel very sturdy, well made, last a long time, and don't give you a bad razor burn if you're not careful. Still, my favorite blades are the Astra SP, they're a bit sharper than the rest of the "average" ones and can give you a bad shave if you're not careful, but I like how they feel on my skin. Although, they tend not to last for too long and can get some rust on the surface after a few shaves.

@itoldjaso 2 года назад

Personna seems to make two varieties of blades; In the red packaging are blades that are less sharp than in the blue packaging, but better suited to sensitive skin------Personnas in the blue packaging that you featured are as you stated: sharp, smooth, efficient and a pleasure to shave with------As always, your mileage may vary.

@williamcharles9480 7 лет назад

Thanks for a very well done review. You're very thorough with your descriptions and you've taken a good amount of mystery out of the various brands available. I'm finally back to wet shaving after a 20 year period of having a beard. I don't like the multi-blade razors that are commercially available as I think of them as being nothing more than playthings. I have gone back to what I know best and that's the double edge safety razor. Your reviews have been very helpful for me as I, once again, have returned to a clean shaven face. Keep up the good work and thanks, again.

@brianmcallister114 3 года назад

Got stuck in the mindless rut of using disposable razors and kidding myself that I was getting a decent, economical shave until recently when I decided to start doing things properly. After some RU-vid research, I settled on the Edwin Jagger DE89 and following a tip from this video, I paired that razor with the Gillette 7 O'Clock blade. I can only say that this particular combination gave me a fantastic two pass shave. It was a comfortable, easy, light pressure, extremely close shave. And that was with 6 days growth. Thank you for the really helpful video..

@Retroweld 3 года назад

YES! WE need a 2020 list!

@tshusker 7 лет назад

Currently using and enjoying Personna Blues, but also a BIG fan of Astra SP! Great video!

@bretthopkins1475 7 лет назад

Great video! When I suggested this in the last video I did not expect to see one made so soon. Must have had a wide array of people asking for some time now.

@MrGreenejr100 5 лет назад

Nick, thanks for all of your reviews! My beard sounds similar to yours and I have the same neck hot spots. I use you as my test go to!,,,Really liked the Persona first time putting on alcohol after shave with no burn at all! What a blade. Even with lots of passes. Can’t wait to try the Perma soft based on your recommendation. Thanks for all of your work on the subject it really helps novice de shavers like me. Keep on posting! Thanks.

@mikemiller4109 7 лет назад

The Voshkod is my blade of choice in both my Merkur 34c and my Razorock 4pc open comb. I agree with everything you said about the blade. Have wanted to try the Perma Sharp.

@apinanraivo100 7 лет назад

A Good, informative post, which delivered a good and informative thread. Thanks, Nick!

@LTT.Official 7 лет назад

Nice choices Nick, I'll definitely be trying some of the perma sharp blades. I don't get access to all those blades in the Caribbean (over the counter, you have to import) but my favorites over the counter is the Wilkinson sword. Nice balance for me and they seem to last a long time, sometimes I get like 5-6 shaves with them.

@terrywho22 7 лет назад

Great job as always. I've been using Voskhod blades in my Fine Superlite Slant and, similar to you, I wasn't sure about them at first, but now I'm a big fan. Thanks to this vid, I ordered some Treet Black Beauties and am also impressed. Not quite as sharp as the Voskhod, but a touch more forgiving and definitely a nice pairing with a slant. Thanks!

@robl3505 7 лет назад

Wilkinson sword. Smooth and sharp

@pommieMJ 7 лет назад

Absolutely fantastic video post Nick. Thanks heaps. Personally, I would have to add ASTRA Green to the list as (in my opinion) this has to be, hands down, the most versatile blade. I can use them in the Edwin Jager DE89 and the Merku Futur (on setting #6) and get a great shave. Thanks again Nick!

@bronsont7280 7 лет назад

Love the Feather & Personna blades! I'll have to try the others.

@TheBradleyd1146 7 лет назад

Astra SP's & Voskhods are good with my skin. I want to try personna and permasharp now. Someone recently sent me some feather blades and they definitely glide right through the facial hair and am now a fan of them. Nothing worse than a blade that tugs at the whiskers! Thanks for the vid nick!

@ditty96 7 лет назад

Persona blue and Astra SP are the best all around blades for me.

@Tis_13 7 лет назад

voskhod & supermax blue diamonds titanium work great for me everytime! great video Nick keep up the great work.

@TheCogitech 7 лет назад

7 o'clock Super Stainless are my current favourite, but I am still working through a big sampler pack. Before that I was only using Astra SP and they are "OK" but I find they are tuggy sometimes and I have to be very careful on my neck with them. The 7 o'clock Super Stainless seem to cut through the hair better and are also very smooth. Very little irritation on my neck. The 7 o'clocks also seem to last considerably longer. Still have about 20 more blades to try. Thanks for your great reviews!

@brianb.2894 7 лет назад

A great rundown on blades Nick. I agree with most of what you said. Two of the blades I`ve never tried. Thanks

@flewggle 6 лет назад

I use Personna blues. I get a very close shave and they really are smooth. I never get razor burn or a cut. I just use regular old barbasol shaving cream. I can get 3 shaves out of a blade.

@Grimexperience62 7 лет назад

Great video Nick. I'm actually very surprised that my favorite all around blade is not on this list; the Astra SP.

@dre122786 7 лет назад

@MichaelTeagueJr 7 лет назад

I love the Perma-Sharps i have sensitive skin an these give me a great BBS shave with no razor burn.

@massawax 4 года назад

I could not agree more with your ranking. I took my time - like 2 years - I tried all the ones you mentioned and many more - to prove you... right. We might have a very similar skin type / technique combination.

@albertcastro409 4 года назад

Nice review ! 👍🏻👍🏻

@daringlisson9353 7 лет назад

The Gillette Super Stainless are one of my favorites as well. Croma Diamant are another stand out. Personna Red Pack are another

@meschker0507 6 лет назад

Took me a month to find the right combos of blade a razors, I shave Daily have course hair with sensitive skin. I Don’t shave on my weekends but, every day after that. It’s a 34C HD with a Feather blade on day 1 to eliminate the growth and Personna blade every day after that. Winning combo! Finding the right razor and blade for your skin/hair type is cumbersome yet rewarding when u find it.

@alcoholicmonkey1980 7 лет назад

Agreed! Personna and Feather for me!

@gregjoseph4569 7 лет назад

nice video man, I'll try out those personas

@richardclark202 7 лет назад

I'm surprise the Astra Sp blades didn't make the list. After this review I am going to look into the permashape blades

@bendycard 7 лет назад

RICHARD Clark go for them, they're very good, and if you like SPs (like me), you should love them. They're maybe fractionally sharper, but like Nick said, they're still smooth

@ollisuomalainen529 7 лет назад

RICHARD Clark Perma-Sharp is wonderful blades. Like Astra SP but lot sharper.

@davidw1768 7 лет назад

I agree. I threw the Personnas away after I tried the Astra SPs. Great blade.

@thelsamar23 7 лет назад

Yeah, was surprised as well. Probably my favourite blade. Perma-sharp are great blades as well, but I feel like Feathers are better since they are sharper and with good technique you will get the best out of those with no problem at all.

@daviddyer2607 7 лет назад

How strange, I feel exactly the opposite. I did not get along with the Astra blades and love love love the Personna. For me the Personna is better even than the Feather

@ScullyMD-jt1bn 7 лет назад

I started with the persona blues but after awhile I just didn't like the performance I got from them and switched to feather and haven had a problem with the. I love them!

@dreidy7750 7 лет назад

Great videos. I use the feather in my Muhle R41. No other blade comes close.

@mhollis1989 4 года назад

I'm super late to this, but i have recently (late summer to autum 2019) started wet shaving. The razor I used is still my Vanderhagen, and the blades I have been using for the longest time have come from dollar general, which research tells me are offbrand Dorco blades. I was receny forced to look elsewhere for blades and grabbed me a sample pack. The astra blades were sharp, but most def not smooth. Then I tried Personna Blues. OMG. I'm gonna work my way through the different brands, but unless i get a better shave, I am going full Personna. Maybe I'll even try a red.

@stevem1563 7 лет назад

I also like Debby Extras. I know many say they are junk, but they are mild and smooth for me in my R41 and I get great shaves. To each his own, but I really like them, irregardless to what many others claim. I think they are slightly smoother then the Personna Blues but very similar.

@afrog2666 6 лет назад

Had a shave with a derby extra just 20 minutes ago, smooth as an oiled up baby

@AKSBSU 5 лет назад

I'm new and running through a sampler. I thought Derby or Shark might be the razor for me, but the problem is they don't get the job done with coarser hair around my mouth and chin. Silky smooth on the sides but struggle with the goatee area. So far Wilkinson Sword and Astra Platinum have been the best. I have high hopes for Voskhod, Pol Silver, and Persona. I suspect Feather may be too sharp. I'm saving that until I'm more experienced so I don't mangle my face.

@NaS7338 5 лет назад

Most overlooked is Gillette Nacet. Both super sharp and forgiving. Unlike the coated blades it works at its best right from the first use.

@Thumos99 2 года назад

Feather blades are amazing. I get the closest shaves with them. Unfortunately I sometimes am not careful and Knick myself with feather blades. I’ve gone through dozens of Astra Russian blades and only knicked myself once with those. Astras are so smooth. I trust you. I’m willing to give the persona blue blades a try considering they are one of your favourites.

@panchotheaddict420 7 лет назад

try the persona reds theyre a level above the blues imo

@georgesilverhawkstrailcame2297 Год назад

Great review. and for the most part I agree. I'm not a fan of the Feather Blades, tried them and just did think they were for me... they're very sharp, seem to perform nest on the the second use and then kinda crap out on they third use. I actually like the ASTRA Superior Platinum blades better. I try and use various blades from Wilkinson, Viking and others. But the Personna Lab Blue Comfort Coated are the best of both worlds... comfortable and sharp, just not too aggressive. Furthermore, I have very tough bristly whiskers and the Personna Lab Blue blades give me four great shaves rather then two. That just me, everyone should use what works best for them. Blessings to you and yours, and take care. Aho!

@Steve135000 7 лет назад

I have some silver blues, they work nice. But I have recently tried the Rubie Platinum Plus...I find they're a bit better for me. Have you tried them yet?

@johns9990 7 лет назад

I'm 100% with your choice of Personna as the best blade

@joemichel4770 2 года назад

Hey Nick Shaves, your video's are excellent. In your opinion what's the best mildest DE razor for a wet shave beginner?

@ahmmoudy 2 года назад

Hi there. I’m new to classic wet shaving switching from the disposable plastic razors. I wonder what your thoughts on the Muhle R89 i opted for it over the 34C waiting for delivery atm. Thank you Nick

@korbzz 7 лет назад

Pretty much the same, except throwing in the Rapira Chrome, maybe in exchange of the feather I thought they'd be the same as the other Rapiras, but was massively surprised. Would strongly urge a test run :)

@DuckNoire 7 лет назад

Good list. I only use Feather & Voskhod blades at this point.

@Shaverboy516 5 лет назад

Really liking Astra blades in my EJ, but are giving the Personnas a try.

@tonymarinelli7303 7 лет назад

Astra's are king for me as my go to blade, they really are the perfect balance of sharpness and smoothness, plus, I have a very thick, coarse beard. They works very well in my Muhle R41 and my less aggressive razors as well, all around, they are amazing. I do love Feathers and Kai equally. Voskhod are tuggy for me, however I have about 300 of these babies, so being the cheap guy that I am, I will eventually use them up. When I use up all of my other blades, I will only use Astra and Feather.

@DwightMS1 6 лет назад

The Pol Silver Super Iridium is my new favorite in my Edwin Jagger.

@djg093 7 лет назад

I like the Personna Lab Blue but I think the Gillette Sliver Blue give a better close/smooth shave. The Voskhod for me are just not sharp enough. I don't really like to have to make 3 passes to get a smooth shave. The Voskhod blades take 3 plus a touch up for me. I'm new to safety razor shaving so I haven't tried the feather yet, would you suggest getting more experience or just go for it?

@albertcastro409 4 года назад

I need to try the feather blade one day. But I will do it on a day when I off from work. To take my time. And see how my face feels after a 🪒 shave.

@donfraysier5079 7 лет назад

Thanks for what may turn out to be valuable information to me.

@jaquene9182 7 лет назад

I started shaving with my shavette about 2 years ago. Started out with feathers, then began to use safety razors ocassionally, haven't really tried much other than feathers, was given some Gillette platinums from a friend and they weren't nearly as sharp and seemed to not give as close of a shave as with the feathers, I might give the perma sharps a try, and possibly the personna. I'm just not sure how I feel about a duller razor blade, but I shall see.

@ExaltedDuck 6 лет назад

I find Dorco and Gillette 7 o'clock work well in my open comb Parker 27C and with my coarse beard hair. Feather and Merkur are pretty good, too, but better be at their price and actually have a tendency to shave off a little skin with the beard the first day or two.

@r.blakecooper5100 7 лет назад

Would you have any suggestion for a kit for someone who is just making the switch to a safety razor? Preferably with razor, brush, stand, and bowl. If not a kit a list of items to buy individually. Thanks

@albertcastro409 5 лет назад

I need to try the feather once I am ready. Just started wet shaving.

@chrisbouldin351 7 лет назад

Hello I just recently followed here on IG, but I've been subscribed to your RU-vid channel for a long time. I've want to try the synergy shaving soaps but I can't find them anywhere, where could I buy that shave soap from? Also what's a good menthol cold shaving soap I could buy?

@Whatx22 6 лет назад

I ordered from Amazon and I've got the white persona double edge box( comfort coated)? What's the difference between Personna lab blues?

@kc0dxf 7 лет назад

I've only been wet shaving for 3 or 4 months but my favorites from smooth to sharp are: Supermax Super platinum, Personna Platinum (red), Lord Platinum, Derby Extra, Feather.

@MHHMARCUSDK 7 лет назад

kc0dxf so you mean to tell me you think derby extras are some of the sharpest blades out there? They are some of the mildest.

@kc0dxf 7 лет назад

Oh no, not at all. I've not tried that many sharp blades. This is just how I ranked the ones I've tried. Derby are much less sharp than Feather for sure.

@albertcastro409 4 года назад

I need to try the all. Got me a sample pack

@robertclinton3259 7 лет назад

Persona and Feather work for me very well but I'm still using an entry level razor from Target.

@SaltySeaDaddy 5 лет назад

Nick, question. The Treet Black Beauties, would you say they perform better in the R41 and or an open comb? Looking for the perfect 'used' blade feel. What would you recommend? I started doing two pass shaves. First pass with the R41 and a Voskhod and second pass the R106 with a 'used' Feather blade. I'm 6 mos into the DE world. 10 razors, 12 brushes, and countless soaps later...blah, blah... I'm in search of a blade that gives a good 'used' feel to it. Primarily I use Feather, Voskhod and Astra. Feather is still feared and respected. Looking forward to the Black carbon steel Treet. Glad I subscribed to your channnel. BTW, you're reviews are high end in my book. You, Paulhfilms, Geofatboy, ilather, and Kensurfs in that order are my faves! Always learning from your experiences my good man. Again, thank you for your time and effort. Hoo-YAH MOTIVATOR!

@MattiasDahlberg 7 лет назад

Personna blades made of swedish steel :) I like youre videos, greetings from sweden.

@phil7574 7 лет назад

Voskhod, Personna Reds, and Feathers are my top three

@bendycard 7 лет назад

Good choices Nick, even if I really don't like the 7 o'clocks. Change them for Astra SPs and I'd be happy 👍

@sarajevo_ 7 лет назад

Dave C Astra SPs are crazy smooth. 👍

@bendycard 7 лет назад

Nayem Khan yeah I agree, they're great, and still my favourite blade. I'm sure a lot of people can't believe how good they are, because you can pick them up so cheaply ☺️

@7VlesSiah 7 лет назад

7 O'clock yellows i love but I don't like the price. I've been using rapira platinum lux and like them a lot. You can get them on ebay for like $10 for 100. I can throw them out every 3 shaves. Personna's I don't like. Seems really sharp but there is no give on them.

@bendycard 7 лет назад

7VlesSiah I've only tried the Super Stainless blades that Nick likes so much, somehow I just always found them really rough for my skin. 😩

@thalwani 7 лет назад

7VlesSiah Rapira platinum lux is the best!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

@allanjcarpenter 7 лет назад

Gillette Nacet Stainless are my favorite, especially in a mild razor like a blue tip Superspeed.

@Cynic269 7 лет назад

Nick, I don't remember if you have reviewed Personna Red Blades before. You have to try them some time soon. I went from Blue to Red and I believe theyre a complete step up. Gonna try Perma Sharp soon

@mmaxwell64 2 года назад

Hi Dr. Nick, how are you doing? Haven't seen you for awhile. I do like the Astra Greens, very close shaves I get from them and with no irritation

@stevied8855 7 лет назад

Hi Nick, My favourites are Dorco Prime Platinum, Crystal, Kai blades. I also think Wilkinson Sword Blades are superb. Steve in Scotland.

@MrHuntNC 7 лет назад

@dmitrismeliov5240 4 года назад

Hello, NICK, thank you so much for your videos! Have you ever tried Gillette Nacet Stainless (Made in Russia) blades?

@MegaAluchi Год назад

I have been experimenting with different blades and shave soap. My beard didnt like neither Astra nor Derby. The Treet black is called carbon, and it is one of my favourite. But it is good for only two shaves one on each side before they become dull. My beard is medium coarse and I shave every second day on setting 6 of my Viking Emperor adjustable razor. There are many Treet models. One of their worst is Treet Platinum ( not for coarse beard.) I have tried both the Persona and Feather and I couldn't tell the difference. Both are equally great and provide smooth shave. The worst is 7'O'Clock the yellow ( not in this video,) it gave me Nicks and irritation. Bic is also awsome by the way. I will try Voskood based on your video next time Thanks

@Sumgie 7 лет назад

I agree that this has been the best for me as well, with the added bonus of being made in the USA. they don't last longer than others for me, but I don't have to pay any mind to how I'm shaving in my case. that said I don't have terribly sensitive skin

@josephmeh3562 7 лет назад

@jkd104 7 лет назад

+nickshaves ever try Big Ben blades if so are they any good?

@4incase 7 лет назад

On my skin i prefer the LORD Super Stainless. I can get 10 shaves before I start to feel tugging. And I typically shave every other day. They work well in all of my razors.

@zacgeorge6235 6 лет назад

So far , after trying a sample pack, the astra sp and perma-sharp are my favourites

@zacgeorge6235 6 лет назад

Just tried these today, I stopped as I seemed to get slight irritation, which I've noticed I get more from "smooth" blades than aggressive (like getting irritation from shark blades but an irritation free shave with astra sp)

@Rjl41 7 лет назад

I love yellow gillette, personna platinum, ladas and voskhod!all others, such as gillette silver blue, treet, bolzano or trig did not work at all! Tritons R3 are so so!

@7VlesSiah 7 лет назад

Hey Nick, You should do a video on inexpensive blades that get the job done. It is a tough market because you can get a lot of crappy blades. I remember buying a 100 pack of Derbies and finding out how much they suck. The russian blades seem to be the best bang for the buck. I use Rapira Platinum Lux and actually prefer them to Feathers. Less cuts and as long as I switch them regularly, there is no tug.

@onurcakmak 7 лет назад

Hey Nick. I think you should give another try for the Gillette Silver Blue. It is more comfortable than the Permasharp, and also has good sharpness.

@TheSRC88 6 лет назад

Personna reds are probably my favorite but ive had a tough time trying to consistently find them for a decent price. My favorite easy to get blades are Gillette Platinums WITH the arabic writing (there is a difference)

@magnoliamike 4 года назад

Steven Cryar what’s the difference? I didn’t know there were 2 different Gillette Platinum’s? The ones I know are made in Russia

@chriskelly509 7 лет назад

voskod is my go to blade

@AKSBSU 5 лет назад

Voskhod has given me the best results and very fortunately happens to be among the least expensive. Polsilver is also of superb quality but cost over 5x more and are sharper than necessary to get down to the skin for me. Glad I don't have steel wool facial hair and only need a moderately sharp blade for a super smooth shave.

@garrettjacob7572 7 лет назад

I don't agree with the choice of the Feather at all. Considering it's the most expensive, I don't think it's a great perfomer. It's almost unusable in a Futur. I think the Wilkinson Sword (Germany version), and Gillette Silver Blue or Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow sharp edge are better blades for the money. Overall, my favorite now is the Polsilver SI.

Shave- a-thon no wonder, an aggressive blade in one of the most aggressive razors.

I'm not even that crazy about a Feather in an EJ89. It degrades after 4 or 5 shaves and the first shave is really somewhat rough. I have a tough beard and sensitive skin on the neck (my stubble grows down to my collarbone!). I get about 2 or 3 decent shaves with a Feather but not the smoothest by far. Remember that Nick doesn't shave XTG or ATG on the neck, so he won't experience any irritation and can't distinguish which blades cause the biggest problems during those passes.
