Review on Perma Sharp Double Safety Blades Display by Sharon Hartmann

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great blade but remember to focus on your technique!

They fit me perfectly and allow for a very close shave. Not the smoothest/sharpest I've tried for face/hair (I personally like Gillette 7 O'clock Greens) but I can still get BBS without irritation. I think a lot of people try really hard to find the right blade that will give them an irritating shave, but tend to forget a bit that technique is the most important thing in getting a good shave. Good equipment helps, but most beginners really need to focus on good technique. I use a fairly aggressive razor (Wonderful) and I seem to get a great shave no matter what blade I use. An extremely light touch and using the entire arm and not the wrist to shave seems very important to me to get a good shave. Also, the fewer passes, the better. Most of the time I just do XTG and then ATG. If I know the blade is really sharp, I can run the ATG through it. I used to get cuts and razor burns all the time and spent a lot of money looking for the perfect shave. Now that I've figured out the technique that works best for my face, the equipment isn't that important (although I keep going back to multiple blades for consistency). I even use canned barbazole on some days with no problems.

Pros
  • Easy to set up
Cons
  • Compatibility
