That reminds me, I need to do a DE shave again soon. Its been so long since I've used a DE razor and even longer since I've purchased DE blades. I have a few lifetimes supply of blades at this point. I just naturally reach for a SE razor when it's time to shave.

My DE fav's back then and today are med' preps, Gillette 7 O'Clock yellows, SuperMax (2 kinds), Iridium, and in vintage, Gillette platinum plus.

The blades that I have settled on and have in quantity are:

Astra Superior Stainless
Gillette 7 O'clock SharpEdge
Gillette Nacet

The Russian blades seem to give me the best shave.
Best regards,
