Pros

  • For blades look for several made by Gillette: PermaSharp, Silver Blue, Nacet, or 7 O’Clock yellow.
  • Gillette Silver Blue. Any of those blades should work.
  • Absolutely fantastic shave today!
  • The Rocca paired with GSB (2) glided like hot knife on butter. They sang a beautiful song together.
  • Gillette Silver Blues in my Rockwell 6S.

Cons

  • Blade was sharp, there was no tugging or pulling. It was also extremely easy to do an XTG pass on my cheeks. It had no problems cutting hair ATG. It did leave a bit of whiskers without overbuffing a lot, so I’ll give it a solid 4.5/5. Sm...
  • Gillette Silver blue.
  • GSB in the blackbird is very rough for me. GSB is a nice blade, quite sharp, but kinda rough. It has to be paired with the right razor. Works well in r41 and rocca, not so much in the blackbird.
  • Blade:: Gillette Silver Blue

Blade was sharp, there was no tugging or pulling. It was also extremely easy to do an XTG pass on my cheeks. It had no problems cutting hair ATG. It did leave a bit of whiskers without overbuffing a lot, so I’ll give it a solid 4.5/5. Smoothness wise, it was great on WTG and XTG. However, against the grain on one tricky part of my neck was not the best. It was sharp, but it was kind of harsh as well, even after taking down most growth with the previous 2 passes.

Gillette Silver Blues, Tatra Platinums and Gillette Platinums are my favorites.

I personally recommend Gillette Silver Blue for a sharper range blade yet still offering a high level of comfort and smoothnest.
