Blackland GEM

Can't wait to see the reviews for the Sabre. Like Celestino, I really liked the BlackBird. I held out on the Sabre a bit but if my guess was right, this razor might also be in my to-buy list.

I usually don't come home for lunch on Thursdays, but my Sabre is due to be delivered so that will likely change my routine. I hope to come home briefly and pick it up to open & take pictures of at my office.

Shane,

If know the thread which provides information about different available Gem blades, can you post the link?

If there is no such post, post 2 lines about each blade do buyers of Sabre will know here options


Btw, what blades did you use for testing Sabre?

Don't bother with any of them except the PTFE blades though IMO.

IMO that would be foolish.

Hey go ahead and try them all, but I would bet he goes right back to the PTFE blades.

Yeah, what EFDan said. There is only one GEM blade worth using and that's the PTFE coated stainless steel ones. The rest are good for scraping paint and stuff though.

The carbon ones have black spots on them before I even finish my first shave. No thanks.

It will come with few blades? I don't have any gem blades at home

It ships with three PTFE-coated stainless steel Personna GEM blades. These last 5-10+ shaves so you should be set for at least a couple weeks before you'll need to get some more. There are only a handful of GEM blade options so you might consider grabbing a few different 5 packs to compare with the coated stainless blades.

5-10? I've gone 25 before ditching one and probably could've kept going. Got bored though...

Gem Blue Stars are great shaving blades (used one this morning). Don't last as long as the PTFE, but deliver a better shave for me. I shave my head which demands a different blade profile than others may require but they work better for my needs. I keep them with a dessicate packet with no rust problems ever.
