For injectors, I like Chicks. The only AC style blade I've used was the Feather Pro in a Colonial General razor. It was a lackluster experience.

Jeff, if you get a chance, give the Schick Proline P-30 artist club blades a chance.  I got a few from TryABlade and have just finished my third shave with the first one, twice in a RazoRock aluminum HAWK and once in an iKon El Jefe, and I am very impressed.  I have had three comfortable long lasting BBS shaves, something I cannot say about any of the other artist club blades I have tried.

I just ordered 3 packs of them from Rakuten Japan, total of 90 blades for $33 shipping included. Considering lots of people say they are as good as the Feather Pro's and Kai Pink's sharpness and smoothness wise and some say they last tad bit more so I decided to get them instead of trying them first.

Hope they don't rust though, I just found out last night that if I leave the Kai's wet they rust... same situation like the Feathers and honestly I don't remember any DE that's not carbon steel to catch rust, also never seen the GEM and Injector PTFE bades catching any rust ever.... Looks like Japan is lacking with the quality of the steel

I already have the P-30. The 30 just means that there are 30 blades on the case. I have also seen a P-20. Does anyone know what the B-20? Is the P blade an artist club and the B blade a standard injector?


I just saw the description, on the B it says short blade and on the P it says long blade.

Now I am in a test that I came up with and the truth is that it works very well.
It consists of shaving with the Asylum RX or Colonial Razors The General DLC and with the Schick at the same time, one for the straight part of the face, the cheeks and the other to define the more complicated areas in mustache and knob.
For now luxurious shaves and without cuts or scrapes.
It is like a surgeon who uses the tools most appropriate to each area and depending on the case to be removed or sectioned.
I always do it with the monophiles.
I have to try the DE's to see how it works.
Best regards

I use GEM PTFE stainless blades in my G-bar. They can be a bit harsh for the first shave, so I always palm strop before the first use. After that, they are great for at least 5 or 6 more shaves. Awesome combination when I want that straight razor comfort, without that straight razor time commitment.

I also have an AC-style shavette coming, and a sample of AC-style SE blades. I'll try to remember to contribute my thoughts after I have a chance to experiment with all of the blades...

From what I read on other forums the b-20 are same as every artist club blades but they are tad bit thinner and sort of the thickness of an injector blades. As far as performance wise people say the P-30 last longer and naturally are better deal price wise.

Anyone try Cloud SE Blades, or other not as popular brands?

Never heard of them before reading this post. The only place I could find the SE available seemed..shady...

Found a "Razor Blades Club" that offered the DE variety, but not the SE...

I have only seen them once and for the life of me had to really strain to remember the name! I'd like to find some new SE Blades off the beaten path, ya know?
