50 Silver Blue Double Edge Razor Stainless Blades Made in Russia

I am pleased with the product that I ordered, they arrived on the date they said they would be delivered.

One of my top tier blades. Sharp and smooth and fairly long lasting. Can't go wrong with them.

I love these blades. They shave extremely closely without even a nick. They are sharper than most blades, but not as sharp as Feather blades, which are a little too sharp for me. Everybody is different, but I would highly recommend these blades.

Ok, these blades show more promise than many blades I’ve tried. First of all: I do have a technique, and very sensitive skin. I’ve started by giving these, “newer” GSB’s” only a four star rating…this may change, so check back. These ARE made in Russia NOT India as some have said. Though, the packaging and the printing has changed. BTW: there is no glue there—it’s wax. The print with the spacing is the old blade, and the “cramped” lettering is the newer blade. Both blades are very smooth for my skin. The only thing that is different is that I have to go 3 passes rather than 2 to get a close shave. Not 100% necessary, but it’s my choice. I’ve experienced 2-3 minor nicks (weepers) and ZERO burn from both blades. Good for 2-3 shaves.

I have only been shaving with a double edge razor for about 4 months. there is a lot of practice, trial and error when you are starting out, so I have had my share of nicks, cuts, razor burn and also poor shaves.I bought a Vikings Blade razor (Vulcan model) for about 17 bucks off Amazon.What I learned is that after you have a good quality razor, It almost always comes down to the blades you choose.I also got one of those trial packs with 12 different brands of razors so that I could practice and find what I hoped would be the right one for me. I won't go into naming all of them, but it included Astra, Feather, Wilkinson, Merkur and other well known razors. Of course Feather was too sharp, Astra was too dull.I preferred Stainless over Platinum coated and because of that ended up choosing the Gillette Siver Blue (stainless) over the Gillette platinum.The cost is very reasonable and I usually get 2 or 3 shaves out of each blade. I know on the second if I'm going to get a third. I get a smooth shave, no nicks, cuts, or razor burn. I only shave 3 times a week (semi retired) so my pack of 50 razors should last the better part of six months.Every face is different so every razor will not be perfect for everyone. But if you are unhappy with the razors you are using, I recommend the Gillette Silver Blue for value, consistency and smooth shaves.

Looking for a sharper blade, I bought to use in my less aggressive razors but find these might be only slightly sharper that Astra Green and 7 o'clock greens, but just as smooth and pleasant to use. These are now going to become my everyday blade of choice.

I am new to DE shaving and after ordering a new Feather DE razor with a 30 pack of their world renowned blades i set in trying to perfect my shaving technique and after several attempts to achieve a great shave like so many have raved about with this setup i was left with a sore,bloody,and irritated neck no matter how i varied my technique.i have a very thick beard and need a very sharp durable blade so after reading similar reviews to what i am posting now i give these blades a try.and WOW this is what i have been missing.this blade cuts so close and so smooth i couldn't believe it.It is as smooth as any 3,4 or 5 blade disposable razor I have ever used but the finished results are much better.There is no cuts,nicks or irritation of any kind and to be honest the 1st time I used it i thought something was wrong with how it fit my razor because i honestly couldn't feel any tugging or pulling like i had grown accustomed to until i stopped mid-shave and felt my skin and it was unbelievable.This is without a doubt the best shave i have ever experienced.I use Proraso sandlewood shave cream and the combination is as good as it gets as far as I'm concerned and my wife would agree 100%.If you need a sharp durable blade and the feathers are just too harsh to make your DE shaving experience the joy you know it could be give these blades a try.I had a hard time believing there can be alot of difference between 1 blade to the next but i stand corrected.Long story short i cant wait to shave now so if you need a sharp blade and like keeping the skin on your face give these blades a try along with a good shave cream/soap like Proraso offers and you will never go back to the 3,4,or 5 blade money wasting blades you have been using.I can honestly say that now my face is smoother 8 hours after i shave than it has ever been with the disposable blades i wasted so much money on was right after i shaved and my skin feels much healthier which could be a result of the Proraso shave cream or these blades im not sure but ill never go back to the old disposables again.

I’m not going to get into blade marking, packaging or any of what 1&2 star reviews have to say. This time around with a DE razor (about 9 years) I started with 2 large sample packs, I’ve been through Shark, Feather, several Derby variants, Durco, Wilkinson, for me the best blades have been Gillette Green Seven O’clock was close, but an order this week of the display pack of Gillette Silver Blue, after a lot of reading reviews confirmed my thoughts, for me there is no better blade. Using a nine year old Muhle Traditional R 89, first shaved with a butterfly DE, two passes with these blade gives me a close shave.
