Astra Superior Stainless

Day 1: I was excited to try this blade because of the fantastic experience I had with the last Astra. I was a little bit let down The save wasn't as smooth but, on the plus side no cuts and the shave was just as close. 85/100

Day 2: Today's shave was terrible. My face was covered in cuts and nicks. I would recommend this blade ever. If you want to buy Astra, buy the platinum. 40/100

Astra Superior Platinum

Day 1: Wow. I think I found a new favorite razor blade! Shave was smooth and super tight. I got a couple minor nicks but nothing significant. Overall fantastic balde. 98/100

Day 2: started a new job today so wanted to make sure I looked good but was on time. Still did a 3 pass shave but tried to do it quickly without rushing it. Did not cut myself at all and got a very close, smooth, comfortable shave. I absolutely love this blade and highly recomend at least giving it a try. 98/100

Day 3 & 4: been busy the last few days with a new job and moving so I haven't had time to post. Shave has been fantastic and the blade  seems like it will last a few more days. No cuts or irritation. 98/100

Day 5: This thing is just the little blade that could! 5 shaves of 3 passes and it feels as good as the day I opened it. I'm going to keep using it to see how many days of shaving I can get out of it but I've said pretty much all there is to say about this blade. Absolutely fantastic! 98/100

Day 6: Blade started feeling a little worn today so I decided to switch it out after the shave. I loved this blade. As it stands right now I'll be ordering some of these and some Big Ben. 98/100. Great blade, great shave!

Gillette Goal

Day 1: This is probably the most interesting packaging of the group of razors and I was somewhat looking forward to trying it. It was quite difficult to remove from the packaging and I was quite nervous about cutting myself on it. I can almost guarantee I would have gotten cut if my hands were wet. The issue is that the blade is double wrapped and then glued to the inside wrapper. I am not sure what the point of this is but I did not like it. The shave itself was rather mediocre. It was not super smooth like the Big Ben or Bic but neither was  it irritating like the Nacet. I didn't cut myself at all but I could definitely feel the blade on my face. It gave me a fairly close shave but nothing special. The rating may change over the next few uses but for now I am giving it an 60/100

Day 2: Another mediocre shave from this blade. No nicks or cuts but it is a somewhat uncomfortable shave but not enough to give me razor burn. Fairly close shave but not quite baby bottom smooth either. It's worth trying it out in a sampler pack but I wouldn't suggest buying it in bulk on a whim. 60/100

Day 3: Not much to say that I haven't said already. Not an awful blade not is it fantastic. Shave is "close enough" but it could be closer. The shave it provides is not very comfortable either. 60/100

Day 4: I noticed today while shaving that it feels like this blade probably has another 2 shaves in it at least which is very impressive since I've never had a blade last longer than 5 shaves for me. Other than that, however, this blade is still unimpressive. 60/100

Bic Chrome Platinum

Day 1: This is what DE shaving is supposed to be like! It is so nice to get back to a good quality blade after the last few I've tried. The BIC seemed to glide across my skin. I felt no tugging or pulling on any of my passes, it effortlessly cut through the hair without any irritation. My skin feels incredibly smooth, almost polished. I cannot recommend this blade enough! It is absolutely fantastic. The only reason I'm not scorin it a perfect 100 is because I have not yet tried the Feather which I am told is another very high quality blade. 90/100

Day 2: I had a very busy day yesterday and didn't have time to shave so today's shave was with two days growth. I had another incredibly close shave. There was absolutely no tugging or scratching. again the shave was very smooth even with the extra days growth. What a fantastic blade! (Although reading some reviews on amazon lead me to believe that there may have been a bad batch of blade released around January 2014) 90/100

Day 3: This blade is absolutely fantastic. In 3 days (9 passes) the blade feels almost as good as it did the day I took it out of the wrapper. The shave was as close as ever and the only indication that this blade is not brand new is two minor nicks. I really hope that this blade keeps lasting because I don't want to get rid if it. 90/100

Day 4: Today was the last day I'll be using this blade. The first pass was great as usual but the second pass started feeling a little scratchy and the third pass was even worse. Overall the blade still performed quite well although it's life was a little shorter than I expected. 90/100
