Gillette Silver Blue Double Edge (DE) Razor Blades

This blade is sharp yet not aggressive, it’s best paired with an open comb razor in my experience as someone who has used different types of blades and double edge razors. For beginners this blade will be perfect in some cheap DE razor that you are experimenting with such as the Van Der Hagen.

So far the Gillette blades I’ve purchased are some of my favorites. This blade was smooth and got me through 4 shaves. Haven’t had to use my alum stick lately and that was a certainty previously. Good technique is most important but with a quality blade like GSB it makes for a great shave. Definitely recommend.

This came out so very well done great job love it thanks stan

For me these are the smoothest blade for my face. Perfect in my adjustable feather shaver.

It's a Gillette! Need I say more. The smoothness and consistency of the cut is hard to replicate. The longevity of the blade is a nice added benefit. It is the longest lasting blade I have used to date.

Always give a good Shave regardless of what razor is used. Smooth, consistent performance. A favorite go to blade.

These excellent blades last me about 4 shaves. I find them to be sharp and still comfortable. My whiskers are moderately course. Works in all my razors.

Works OK but I’ve tried better. I have a medium to light stubble, and even after three passes, it still seems to leave more stubble than I’m used to.

Hi, forgot to mention that the GSB works in all the razors in my rotation which are a Gillette Slim Adjustable, a Gillette Super Speed Red Tip, and a Gillette Super Speed Flare Tip. Very, very consistent from razor to razor as well as blade to blade.

Best blade for my face I have found so far. Prior to finally trying the GSB, Astra Green and Persona Platinum would pretty much neck and neck on which one I like shaving with best (basically, whichever one I was shaving with felt the best lol). However, when i first tried the GSB, it was love at first shave. It was sharp, plenty sharp, but smooth, the smoothest blade I had used yet. BBS shave after BBS shave and only two lathers (instead of 3 lathers) to get BBS. The Gillette Silver Blue is a game changer for me as it is by far the best blade for my face I have found to this date. Highly recommend you give them a try as while YMMV, it is worth it to find out if the GSB works for you.

Great

My go to blades for everyday close shaves without nicks or irritation issues. Gotta be mindful when using in a new adjustable razor, because they are really sharp.

Excellent blade in any DE razor that I own. Always deliver a great bbs shave without irritation, nicks, or cuts. Yes, these are extremely sharp for even the toughest stumble.

I use Gillette Silver Blue blades in my Rex Ambassador because they leave my skin smooth and comfortable in just two passes! I have also used these blades in a Merkur 34G HD. I like Feather blades on my razors that have negative blade exposure but the Silver Blue blades are my favorite for aggressive shaving razors like the Ambassador.

This gives me a very close, comfortable shave. A very good balance of smooth and sharp. I am adding it in to my rotation of blades without hesitation.

Very smooth and close with no irritation.

This blade is sharp, smooth, and provides a fine shaving experience. It has been a pleasure to shave with in a variety of my mild and moderate razors. Solid BBS. Will definitely buy more, in my top two alongside Wilkinson Sword.

These are very sharp on my sensitive skin, but they are smooth, as well. I use these only once a week. My go to blades are the personna reds.

So I'm fairly new to wetshaving, I don't actually shave my face but I do shave my head and neck. Finding information on shaving your head is difficult, but these blades are highly recommended by many headshavers.

After trying a number of other blades; Astra green and blue, feathers, and Voshkods. Gillette silver blue so far has been the best blade for my head. Aggressive enough to chop through my thick hair but smooth enough to not leave my head burning when I was finished. I'm gonna try a few more brands, but I'm definitely going to come back to these.

These are my favorite blades. Just aggressive enough to get me through the week, yet gentle enough to keep my legs silky smooth.

Smooth blade. Can use it in every razor that I own.

The Gillette Silver Blue razors are the perfect match for my vintage Gillette razor. I get a great close shave, even with repeated use of each blade.

I come back to Razor Emporium because I get a great value, great service, and a great shave every time!

Thanks!

I have a light beard and very sensitive skin. I was concerned about purchasing the correct blades. I selected a 1940s Gillette New Tech, ball-end DE Safety Razor from Razor Emporium for my WWII reenactment shaving kit. But I was worried about getting just the right blade for the razor and my tender face.

After reading through as much material and reviews posted at Razor Emporium, I settled on the Gillette Silver Blue blade. I have not been disappointed. The Gillette Silver Blue in the 1940s New Tech razor actually gives me the closest and most comfortable shave I've ever had!

I did not expect a DE safety razor to deliver a more superior shave than modern razors. Nor did I expect it to spare my sensitive skin! I attribute the pleasant shaving experience to matching the Gillette 1940s New Tech razor with the Gillette Silver Blue blade.

After two weeks of shaving with the vintage razor system, I am still using the same Gillette Silver Blue blade I first put in the razor. Perhaps it is lasting so long because my beard is light. But it is still giving me a superior shave long after my modern blades would have begun grabbing my skin and nicking it.

I am quite satisfied with my decision to pair the Gillette Silver Blue blade with my vintage Gillette razor.

Eh says it all . not one of the best shaves i have ever had but it may be good for you. Worth trying for the experience!
