Welp, I was working through some multi blade plastic fantastics I traded a $10 bottle of vodka for, from a black guy in a trench coat who had a variety of grooming aids he'd just lifted from CVS so .....

I was fortunate to run into this video soon after my first DE razor arrived and ordered a couple sample packs. I'll never forget my first shave with the Kai blade. It was "where have you been my entire shave life?!" just perfect. You really do provide great wet shaving information and offer great products. Thanks Matt and all the good folks at Razor Emporium!

I wish someone would do an actual analysis with an electron microscope etc of the edge sharpness and smoothness of all the brand's of blades. I'm suspicious that a lot of the comments by people in seemingly authorative positions is simply lore. No one ever attempts to explain why a blade would be made sharp but not smooth, or vice versa. Any blade is plenty sharp enough to easily cut your skin, say under a micro wide at the edge. I'm guessing that it comes down to refinement at the edge: sharp with minimal jaggedness. It would also be nice to understand variability with blades of the same brand. And like rifling in gun barrels, it's probably possible to tell which brands come off the same machinery.

That is an excellent breakdown of DE blades. I’ll be suggesting your site for all new DE shavers for their blade selection process. I really like the way that you rate each blade and include that information in the package.

After single edge injector razor, double edge razor, triple edge disposable razor, and electric triple head razor(and quite a few dollars), I’ve gone to DE razor and brush and found just what a great shave really is. I’ll never go back. Now I look forward to my daily Zen “me-time”. FYI, got a Merkur 34c, multiple trial blades pack, and a few packs of Feathers. Now it’s BBS face every day, all day.

I've tried most of these blades. I come back to Perma-Sharp for the smoothness. Personna blue is made in the USA and can come in a 100 pack that's easier to store in a cabinet. They are also good.

This was the most intuitive rating of DE blades on KZread! After suffering my own trial and error, you have summed up blade aggression / mildness superbly!! Excellent video :))

I've shopped in the store razor emporium in Phoenix Arizona and met him before real tall nice guy.and a good selection.

Very good advice. I tried the sample packs when I started DE Shaving around 2011. I settled on the Astra’s and Persona’s. I can use either one and they both work great for me.

I just made a color coded spreadsheet based on the info label of the Razor Emporium giant sampler pack. I was amazed to see how much I was wrong about the relative sharpness of blades I've tried in the past. I'll be replacing my own dubious experience with this new evaluation. I have crazy coarse facial hair but oddly I get the closest and most comfortable shaves from mild blades and mild razors, and only ever going With-The-Grain on each and every pass.

Enjoyed the clip. But RUSTY GLASS??

Totally agree. I bought an ATT slant closed comb, my first DE razor. It came with a pack of Astras that left my face a bloody mess. Surprised since the blade has so many stellar reviews. Almost returned the razor and went back to my electric. But tried a couple sample packs, finally finding a match made in heaven for a dense thick beard and sensitive skin - the KAI blade. Patience and trial & error pays off.

Fabulous video Matt. What a fantastic way to introduce the packs of DE blades. I said it before and will say I again You are a great Grand Master of knowledge in regards to DE shaving. Thank You very much. Three Cheers to Razor Emporium!!!!!!

Feather all the way. Note that shaving prep is extra important (do it after shower or apply good amount of very warm water to your face). I highly recommend "Kent" shaving soap for Feathers, of all the soaps that one somehow works the best (and it's not even that expensive).

I bought two different sample packs and IMHO that is the best way to test blades. I've been Journaling my wet shaving experiences and testing of blades in Badger & Blade to give my take on the different blades using a mul.titude of different razors..

I thought I would like the Feather blades due to their sharpness. They don't irritate my skin, but their sharpness seems short lived. On the third day, my face feels like a high number sandpaper. When I switched to the Astras, I kept getting BBS shave results for a week with the same strokes.

Nice job, great video and info. Always first rate.

I like these sample packs you have. Thank You. For the review! 👍🏻👍🏻

the best blade is the one that cuts the stubble and not you. What I have done was buy about 4 brands - Derby, Supermax(back in India), Astra Green / 7'oClock stainless and Super Platinum (all three are more or less similar) and Feather. Derby was too mild for me, so, I raised it a notch. Supermax was good, but would be blunt after a single shave. Astra Green / 7'oClock Stainless / Super Platinum all three were very similar. The Super Platinum would last the longest though. I then tried out Feather to see if choosing an even sharper blade would change anything - well, it was sharp, no doubt, but I ended up cutting myself a lot. So, the choice is pretty clear for me - 7'oClock Super Platinum. However, these days I buy Astra Green 100 pack as it works out more economical for the same shave experience.

If you’re trying to avoid Gillette, as I am, be aware that it owns razor blade companies like Astra and Super Iridium.

I've always been prone to having crazy amounts of razor bumps and ingrown hairs. So last year I decided to buy a DE razor, got the absolute cheapest one I could find and started shaving with Astra Platinums. Everything was going fine, the bumps were mostly gone, but I did really regret buying that cheap ass stamped razor instead of one with some weight to it. Eventually I ran out of Astra blades and I bought some Van Der Haag (?) blades from Walmart, first time I shaved I almost ripped my face off. Watching this video I realize now that those are probably some super mild blades. So I'm gonna buy a Merkur and your sensitive skin pack and see what happens.

Supertomiman I'm six months into the DE razors. I had the problem and have fixed the bumps. Here is a small list that helped. 1. Look and study how your hairs grow, and shave with the grain only. 2. Pay attention to the amount of pressure you push down on your razer. 3. Apply porraso cream to your face and brush it on for a good 3 - 4 minutes until the texture looks like whipped cream. 4. Stretch your skin with your hands. 5. Hold the razor with balance. 6. Shave after getting out of the shower.

Good video, great information for beginners. I would like to say "BEWARE OF BEGINNER PACKAGES!!" These are the razors sold with a sample packet of 5 or 10 blades, often times the same brand as the razor you are buying. The Blade - Razor and your Skin - Beard may not be compatible. Buy the razor of your choice (I suggest a mild razor for beginners) and as the video says invest in the sample packes of 10 so you can find out which razor blade works for you. It can mean the difference of shaveing torture and the worlds greatest shave.

I use a shavette and I’ve been wet shaving for about 2 months now but do most of the better known DE blades also come in half blades? I preferred them and seen that when u brake them there’s a slight bend in the razor

Great info. It really helped me to understand blade sharpness and pairing based on different variables. Ever thought of a Russian blade pack?

@RazorEmporium

Yes we had it for a while and it didn't sell.

I wish I had seen this video before I started DE shaving. I was surprised how much the razor matters as well. For example, I bought Astra Greens as my first razor blades and used them in my Rockwell 6c. I thought the shave felt a little rough but thought it was the razor. Why did the shave feel so bad to me? The Rockwell 6c had VERY good reviews and so did the Astra Green. Well I bought the Heritage razor and it came with Gillette Platinum blades. The Heritage shave was so good that I tried the Gillette Platinum in the Rockwell 6c and it shaved like a DREAM. So, I simply stopped using the Astra Green until recently. I bought a Henson razor and it came with the Astra Green, so I tried the Astra blades again. This was the best shave I ever had, just incredible. So the resulting shave with the Astra Green was fantastic. I learned that the razor and blade combo makes a huge difference.

My favorite blades is derby extra nice and smooth blades

I didn't realize Gillette Platinum was considered to be quite that sharp. I've been using one from a sampler pack all week and haven't had any problem with nicks. I personally only need moderate sharpness to get down to the skin. Voskhod seems to have the perfect balance of smoothness and sharpness for my facial hair and skin. Most of the very sharp to sharpest blades I've used tended to cause some irritation for me after repeated daily use with the exception of Polsilver and Gillette Platinum.

I'm going through a test pack. I have tried a bunch. So far my favorite is Gillette platinum with my turkey adjustable razor.

I find that it's also important to try out the best DE razor and which blade(s) work best with them. Some blades work well in a Merkur but not in an Edwin Jaeger, etc. Best to experiment. I use blades from all over and I have 8 different DE razors. I'm always experimenting.

I wish I had this when I first started off

Great video guys big thumps up :)

Thanks for the very informative video. I have a Gillette Slim Adjustable razor, which I normally set to 6 out of 9 on my routine (every other day) shave or to 9 if the last shave dates more than three days. Does the adjustability feature compensate for the blade aggressiveness or is it another factor in the shaving experience?

I’m returning to wet shaving after a few years away. I found my original Fat Handle Tech after I’d purchased a new Van Der Hagen and a new King C. Gillette. As for blades, I’d tried a sampler pack back in the day and liked Feather, but I really liked the blades that came with the new Gillette and how they work with that razor. I’m not really a fan of the Van Der Hagen it their blades. I’ve got a bunch more different blades to try out new and I’m having great fun 😎

To add to me previous comment, if you are a head shaver like me, you might have the fun dilemma of needing a different blade for you head and your beard. After 3 weeks I am fairly confident that feather is the best blade for my beard. For my head though, if I use a feather blade, I end up with a lot of bleeding from the back of my head. A sharp blade is great but it does not forgive !

I have a beginner pack of razors on the way with some general maintenance/everyday items for shaving and a Parker razor, so I'll have some time to get accustomed to a new razor as well as seeing how well my Wilkinson Sword handles other blades. I don't think this Parker razor comes with its own blades and I didn't see them listed on the website, so I looked at various reviews on Amazon about them. Is it true that the Parker blades are somewhere between an Astra Green and a Feather?

If you swap the Platinums for a tuck of 7oc black blades then that Gillette sampler has the best blades available. Can't go wrong with the St Pete Gillette portfolio, I've always got GSB and Astra SP in my drawer.

Astra and permasharp were turkish companies. They have great quility.

Definitely include the Gillette Nacet in the Gillette pack. It's at the sharper end of the scale, but is very smooth shaving and it keeps it's edge for longer than most blades I've tried.

Hey great review. Where I brought my sample pack from.They have the Wilkinson sword platinum (Germany) as a very mild shaver #8. And the Rockwell Razor also #8. At the present time these are as sharp as I can go, with a 2 pass shave. Anything sharper gives me red dots and shaver rash. Where I live all razors are online only, supermarkets and chemists do not stock them anymore. Are the German Wilkinson Sword and Rockwell both on par? As I would. Most probably order 200 blades. Rockwells are half the price of the German counterpart. Thanks

I'm still looking for sharp enough blade that I can get through those really coarse hairs in a couple of passes and no more. I rarely cut myself and only get a scrape when I have to make. a few passes. Do you have any recommendations for blades that work best coarse hair? Thank you

Have you included the Voskhods in any of those samplers?

Personally I like the Feather as I have a coarse and multi directional beard especially under my jaw lines Gillette and Wilkinison I would never recommend only because they slash my face to ribbons and as some commented a while back get rid of that chin fungus mate it does nothing for you :D

It takes time to master, mapping your facial hair to see which way it grows and then your first pass should be in the direction of the hair growrh. Following passes of two and more can then start with a sideways pass, or a finishing pass going back against the grain and getting the ultimate close shave... Well, besides a straight-razor. It's very traditional to me now and I take great pleaaure from whipping the soap, laying it down thick, and then takimg great pleasue in knowing I'm goimg to feel amazumg amd confident when I'm done. 👍🏼 Not only that, but the grooming afterwards, followed by a few splashes of Creed-" Bois de Portugal" and a postive atitiude, and theres simply nothing you can not do!

If you need to use sensitive skin products for shaving and after shave and still get irritation, you’ll want the sensitive pack. If you don’t really get irritation but don’t know where to start get the beginner pack and something like an edwin jagger or parker razors, those tend to be mild-mid aggressive. Yet either of those razor companies are extremely consistent so you’ll know which blades work for you using those razors as platforms
