Chad Uses BAD blades!

With how many blades I'm using I think you'll get your wish.

Thankfully I have taken notes in a notebook also

With a list like you have Chad a notebook is a good idea. There will be TOO many videos to go back and review for thoughts later. Graham Field should be at the VERY top of worst !!
 
Volume 33 Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Platinum (Black) Use 3

Well today I used the blade in the Game Changer instead of the Parker Variant and I must admit the shave was most excellent. Much more comfortable than the first two shaves. Still a little rough when compared to other blades but better. I don't think this blade is as smooth as others that have received a 100 pack rating. So therefore I need to rate it as Good. Couple that with the price and I think it definitely belongs in that category. Some might disagree with me and that is fine, it is a good blade and anyone who makes it their daily driver I would not fault them. But in my personal opinion I think there is better. So here is update info, and I also have ranked each category from best to worst.

****RATING SYSTEM****
TRASH: Can't get a good shave. This blade is horrible. Never use again.
BAD: A bad blade but technically still got a serviceable shave, but have no desire to use the blade again.
GOOD: It was good enough that if I have another blade I wouldn't hesitate to use it.
100PACK: This blade was good enough to warrant stocking up!

Volume 34 Royal Super Stainless Use 1

Well today the random number generator selected a blade I have never heard of the Royal Super Stainless there isn't a lot of information out there on this blade and honestly it might be discontinued. But not sure. I can't find these blades anywhere but Try a Blade. Not even on eBay.

What I did find is they are made by Personna in Israel and many believe that these are the same Israeli Reds minus the platinum coating. That is possible.

The shave today left a lot to be desired it was smooth but not sharp. Not a fan after one use honestly. IT also left me only DFS even on cheeks which I can usually always get BBS. If anyone can find any listings or other info on these blades please post it here.
