Any blades you won't buy again?

[Rusty Blade]

Are there any blades that you have used but won't buy again due to poor performance?

 

[Al H]

Anything you find in a UK shop
Dorco
Personna 74. (Long lasting but average at best not worth the high price)
Rapira stainless (pink pack)

 

[Shemen Zait]

This crap

 

[moodymick]

Treet, anything from Egypt, Bic, Laser, Personna. It's a pretty long list, but i'll stop there.

 

[Stacy555]

Feather, razor burn in a 5 pack, YMMV.

 

[riverrun]

DE: Derby (two be honest - anything except PolSilver and Voskhod)

Aah, the unmentionables..................

Personna Reds (Israel) - not sharp enough
Astra SPs - random blade life
Gillette Rubies - tuggy
Lord Platinum - tuggy

It quiet funny that I actually like the Treet carbon blades

YMMV as usual

Yes, it most certainly is as the four you dislike are IMO some of the best modern blades extant. What are you using for prep, glue?

 

[Whosthedaddy]

Wilkinson Sword Classic
Lazer
Feather

SuperMax Blue Diamond
1 shave & they're done, just a little better than no blade at all.

 

[Nisse]

Not very particular about blades but Wilkinson Sword Classic felt a bit rough and Feather have really let me down on fourth shave but further testing needed before dismissing.

 

[Gairdner]

Ah Lazer blades, weren't they made of wood painted silver?

You could put an edge on wood, Laser blades didn't have one. My arse has more edge than the soggy hardboard effort that is a Laser blade.

Treet Durasharp, Super Max Stainless.

Both were about as sharp as a cucumber. Tuggy and entirely unpleasant to shave with. Barely managed a comfortable pass with either blade.
