DE razor

[Brobill]

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

 

[GearNoir]

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.

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.
