It was a good run with the marathon blade, but just because it was still usable and decent doesn’t mean I should deny myself objectively better shaves. I really love these V12 blades. I also have a bunch of Zorrik which I find similarly smooth and efficient.

I heard that my favorite blade website razorbladesclub.com is going to stop selling to the USA because of tariffs. It’s a shame. Maggard and other retailers certainly have some blades to choose from, but I’ve had fun over the past 4 years trying some weird ones, and have found some that I really like which I won’t have easy access to anymore. On the other hand, I don’t need any more blades!

  What do you think varies in blade manufacture? Do you think there are only a few places that make them, and specifications vary? Does someone (perhaps Feather) control their whole process, including band-steel?

  Trying out a variety of different razor blades from all over the world is indeed fun - thanks to RBC, I tried a lot of the known ones but also the more exotic ones like Gillette Minora, Winner, and almost the entire range of Lord (Egypt) and Treet (Pakistan). The latter were my first contact with a fully black DE blade called “Black Beauty”. It was uncoated carbon steel, so it caught rust fairly quick but the shaves weren’t bad while it lasted. Now I am inspired to dig into my blade drawer and find some exotic ones to try out for my shave later - I’m all set with blades, but sometimes a little bit of experimenting can spark tons of fun!
