![]() ![]() The other blade i used from the sampler has the new laser etching. One item to note before we get to the nitty gritty: The blade sent me was the “old” style with ink printing. By the time i got around to writing this i was actually able to test out two blades and write this up as a full review. But, since i slacked so much on my reviews i actually ran through my sampler pack and ordered another which included some Gillette Platinums. ![]() A big shout out to who sent me one to review all the way from Ireland! Now, because it was the one blade instead of my usual two, i was going to make this a mini-review and do a full review later. Price will be a factor but only of it's very cheap or expensive since most DE blades are pretty cheap comparatively. I'll be grading based on sharpness, smoothness, longevity and consistency. I run through 2 of each blade and use each 4 times for a total of 8 shaves per brand. I use a different brush each shave so every brush sees at least 2 shaves per brand. So for foreseeable future, i’ll add that the brushes used for these reviews are the aforementioned Fento badger, an Omega boar and a Yaqui synthetic. I’ve actually been using a 3 brush rotation for a bit but haven’t really updated this intro. As before, each blade will be reviewed based on a 2 pass (plus touch up) shave using a Van Der Hagen long handled razor, Long Rifle 1776 soap and a generic Fento badger brush. A very happy new year to all and i’m glad to be back with a review after a couple months of holiday hiatus.
