Razor blade comparison

[Bajkman]

I think, that is worth to mention on shaving forum:
http://www.refinedshave.com/razor-blade-sharpness-summary/

Some results are very surprising, at least for me. Based on that test, BIC should be almost the best blade. This is why I ordered 100 pieces from Turkey..

Hi, AndrewB. About weather. That winter is not sharp yet... Almost without snow here... :D

Вы бы сначала разобрались с сайтом и методом тестирования, а потом бы писали, что ли.

Да, а что изменится в ощущениях, после "разбирания" - Меркур станет лучше, а Вилкинсон наоборот - похужеет?

Мне вообще без разницы на их метод тестирования, а вижу их итоговые выводы, с которыми по выбранным позициям (я даже не углублялся, рубанул по крайностям) абсолютно не согласен по факту собственного опыта (и опыта других форумчан). Поэтому считаю эти выводы фуфлом, без ИМХА.

@ASV, maybe is worth to mention abut that test, that lower number mean higher sharpness and vice versa.

Don't know why, that method of providing results is also not the most popular for me.

Anyway, Wilkinson is sharper compared to Merkur, and this test confirming that fact.

Bajkman, lower number mean higher sharpness???

Baaaa... Then I wash my hands, as they say.

Разобрались бы, так бы не писали. А то "не читал, но осуждаю". А подход к тестированию, кстати, вполне неплох и объективен, в отличие от вашего "фуфла".

Don't worry, no need to "wash hands"... I did the same mistake in the beginning.

Probably that is American mentality of numbers. :)

The same as thickness of wires (AWG), where again, lower number mean thicker wire.

Yes, i think, approach for sharpness is very objective... And some results shocked me..

Based on that comparison and prices, Gillette Wilkinson is best buy at the moment:

So i ordered 100pcs.

But again, based on test, BIC is technically better.

We will see.
