Gillette Silver Blue razor blades are made to a high quality standard and will offer a well-rounded balance of sharp and smoothness. They work well with many types of safety razors and have great longevity.
I started using these last year and they've pipped Feather as my favorite blade. While the feathers are slightly sharper, the sliver blues are much smoother and forgiving to the skin. You can also get more good shaves from a silver blue before its performance starts to drop.
I've found Gillette Silver Blues to be almost as sharp as feathers and very forgiving to my skin. I can get 4 - 5 good shaves out of them before performance starts to decline. These blades have a great balance between performance and comfort and have become my go to blade.
