Don’t feel like you have to stick with one razor blade year round.Īre you willing to sacrifice a little sharpness for a smoother shave in the winter? For some guys it might not be necessary, for others though I think it’s a great idea. So while a Feather might work great for some guys in the warmer months, it might be worth switching to something a little less sharp and more forgiving in the colder months. And this can cause your face to dry out and a lot of men tend to see more razor burn and just overall razor irritation in the winter. The cold winter weather can be tough on your face. Why? Because it’s just a little easier on their face. I’ve actually heard of guys that use Feather blades in the spring and summer and switch to the Gillette Silver Blue blade in the winter. This blade is a great balance of sharpness and smoothness for my routine. My beard itself is only probably average thickness, but my individual hair follicles are pretty thick.Ĭombine that with the fact that I only shave about every 4 days and that means I need a sharp blade. One of the reasons this blade works so well for me is that I have pretty thick facial hair. So if you need a blade that is on the sharp end of the spectrum but still want a smooth blade so you can limit the razor burn and nicks and cuts, this just might be for you. That’s definitely not the case with the Silver Blue’s. Most of the time, men looking for a sharp blade have to settle for sharpness and sacrifice smoothness. You’ve probably already realized this by now, but this is also a great option for men that just need a more aggressive blade. Great Option for Guys that Just Need a More Aggressive Blade Combine this blade with a good pre-shave routine and using this blade on a few days growth shouldn’t be an issue but YMMV. This blade will cut right through those hairs though.
If you use too mild of a blade it will just end up tugging on those longer hairs - not a good feeling at all. Why?īecause it’s sharp enough to cut through that hair growth. If you like to shave every 3 or 4 days and have a decent amount of growth, this is a great option. The Gillette Silver Blues are an excellent blade for guys that don’t shave every day. Great Option for Guys with a Few Days Growth It’s a sharp razor that just glides across your face. What I think makes these such great blades though is that although they might not be quite as sharp as a Feather, they are significantly more smooth than most other blades you would find that pack this much punch.īottom line: there aren’t many other options out there that can pack this much sharpness AND smoothness in one blade. However, they are right up there with the top tier when it comes to aggressiveness. Are they as sharp as Feather’s? No, pretty much nothing else is. The Gillette Silver Blue razor blades are definitely some of the sharper blades available on the market. Key Features & Characteristics Above Average Sharpness and Moderately Smooth They are marked with “Gillette Silver Blue Stainless” though so you can be sure you’re not getting some counterfeit or replacement blade. There’s nothing particularly noteworthy about the blades appearance.
Inside the box though is 5 individually wrapped blades in paper. Love the classic, simple design and logo.
So 5 individual blades are packed together in a box that just says “Gillette Silver Blue” on it. Regardless of what size package you order, the packaging of the blades is always the same. You don’t have this option with some other types of blades. But if you want to buy a smaller pack, it’s nice you can buy a set of 25 and not be wasteful. Obviously, the price/blade goes down when you buy the bigger packs. One of the great things about Gillette’s Silver Blue blades is that they are available to buy in packs of 25, 50 or 100. This has made it somewhat difficult in the past for wholesalers and wet shaving sellers in general to get them consistently, but it looks like that’s a thing of the past as these are available at a multitude of places online. The Gillette Silver Blue razor blades are manufactured in St.
