DE razor

I am looking for new blades to try for my gillette fat boy razor. I have derby right now. I have tried perssonna, feather, astra and shark. What blades would you recommend to try.

My wife also uses it for her legs
 
GSB are my preferred blade with the Fatboy, setting 3. Astra do very well though, just not quite as smooth.

I am really a newbie lol. I didnt introduce myself. I started wet shaving about 3 years ago and my wife bought me my first DE razor. I will never go back to the carts. I live in Utah working construction. After working the long days i really enjoy a great shave.

I could use some good advise on some good shaving tips.
 
Welcome Bill. If you are in the US send me a PM. I'll throw a few different blades in an envelope and send them to you and the Mrs. to try.

I've got some Gillette Nacet, Lord Platinum, Bic Chrome Platinum, Rapira Stainless, Super-Max Platinum, Dorco, and Rockwell blades. I can spare a couple of each for you guys to try out to see if you like them or not.
 
Shawn, you are a Gentlemen

Don't you swear at me like that Dave.
