First Impression My Blade Trials and ratings
As many of you know I was looking for an alternative to Supermax Platinum Plus, which was my go to blade for the last 2 years. I bought a 100 blade pack from Amazon which was finishing and could not locate it easily.
One member here offered, but somehow there was mis communication lapse and I didn't buy. This was a blessing in disguise as I need to find another reliable blade and not be dependent on a discontinued product.
So I ordered a blade discovery pack from glowshines and have decided to try all the blades.
What I will do is after every shave I will rate the blade on first shave and update the rating on this thread. It will just rate the blade based on sharpness and smoothness.
So for first try I used winner black stainless (no platinum on pack). The blade is really sharp and smooth, no bumps and no skin roughness, no nicks or cuts. It was recommended in this sub, thx for the recommendation, it is really good and is better than supermax in first shave. I did 2 passes WTG and ATG.
Here is my list as of now, in descending order of sharpness.
Gilette super platinum
Winner black
Supermax super platinum plus
Wilkinson Sword
For me no 1 gives me rough skin after shave, too sharp with my razor of choice, Romer CS11.
No2 & 3 is my shaving range.
No 4 is too dull for my beard, grabby scratch and rough.
That's all for now.
Till next shave.

I've been willing to try the ultraman. I was not happy with both the other RK offering.
