Over the years I have tried a great many of the blades on the market, Merkur, Astra, Feather, Derby, Bic, Personna, Lord, Wilkinson Sword and Gillette 7 O'clock yellows to name a few. I finally settled on the Gillette 7 O'clock yellows and have been using them for the last two years with what I would consider to be good results but always laking a little something in the sharpness and smoothness arena. I could get about four to five good shaves from the 7 O'clocks and did not find that too unreasonable. I have been using the Gillette Platinums for the last few weeks and I was just amazed as to how marvelous the shaves were ! ! Very sharp blades and extremely smooth on the skin - could not be happier with them and it is easy to get at least seven very comfortable smooth and clean shaves out of a blade. I was so impressed with the quality of the blade that I ordered two-hundred of them from Razor Emporium. The razor that I have used for years is a Merkur 38M, never had an issue with the razor and it is very unlikely that I will change to anything else going forward. The Razor Emporium's service was very quick, ordering was easy, they sent exactly what I ordered and I received the product in a very timely manner - what more could one ask for ? I would and will, without hesitation, recommend the Razor Emporium as a source for shaving supplies and great service.
