I've not tried a Russian-made Gillette blade that I didn't like.

QUESTION : Anybody out there tried the Gillette Silver Blues against either the Polsilver Super Iridium or the Hospital Use? I'm reading lots of great stuff about the Silver Blue's, and I'm wondering how they stack up against other top DE blades on the market today . . . I have tried all three and ...

There's not a single post in this thread saying that you cannot.

What a lovely sentiment.

Stephen Fry offers his thoughts.

Of course there will be deranged people who will rejoice in their weird conviction of his eternal and infernal roasting. If hell has Christopher in it, then I’d like to reserve my place there now.

I hit the MWF with a fairly wet boar brush (Omega 31064) and load for close to a minute before moving to the face for a couple more minutes, intermittently dipping the tips of the bristles into my sink full of hot water. This results in enough lather to shave a mule.

My favourite is Jaipur, from Thornbridge Brewery (about 15 miles from me).
