Best praise vs top criticism for Gillette Silver Blue Double Edge Blades
“Prep: Shower Soap: Proraso Red Brush: Semogue 610 Razor: Phoenix Quantum Blade: Gillette Silver Blue Splash: Proraso Red Proraso was my first “real” shave soap. It’s all I used for quite some time. I haven’t used it in awhile now and I’ve been favoring Barrister and Mann. Decided to use the Proraso tonight. It may not be the best, but for the price I feel like it’s a solid performer. Not to mention I do love the scent.”
“Gillette silver blue hands down. I also like the platinum. I very thick coarse hair. Kind of beard you can strike a match on or sand a foot locker with. Weirdly enough feather blades feel like shaving with broken glass to me.”
