My goto blade for a comfortable smooth shave is a Gillette Silver Blue. I had hoped this blade would be comparable, it was not. From the first cut to the last it moves through the hair inconsistently.

It shaves ok, but not great. If it was a beer I wouldn’t turn it down, but I wouldn’t go out and buy it.

I am relatively new to DE shaving and started with a plastic Wilkinson Sword razor and five blades. After using most of the blades I discovered I liked DE shaving and decided to upgrade to a DE89 and used my last WS blade. It went very well. I then purchased the Sample Pack here that included the Lord blades and was stunned at how rough the shave was with these blades. They lack sharpness but more importantly, they are rough, not smooth at all. I have more razor burn and irritation with these than the WS by far. I will not be finishing up the ten blade pack but will move on to the next blades in the Sampler.

very good
