Gillette 7 O’clock Super Sharp (yellows)
I usually don’t like to make negative comments about gear because it is such a YMMV thing.
I’ve used two of these blades for the last couple weeks and can honestly say that I don’t think my face can take much more punishment. I’ve not had a good shave since I’ve opened this box. 6 different razors kept proving to me over and over again that these blades just don’t agree with me. Luckily I have many other choices that work really well. Moving on...

I thought I was the only one who didn’t like 7 O’Clock Yellows as they seem to be so popular. While Zorrik blades remain my absolute least favorite, 7 O’Clock Yellows are certainly in that same box of blades labeled “Do Not Resesutate”.
The blades you guys are listing are heavenly compared to the Flying Eagle Chinese blades.
Just sharp enough to grab hold of the hair and not let go, but not sharp enough to actually cut through it. The only blade I've found to this point that I couldn't finish a shave with.
After the first pass I had to switch blades to cut through all of the stubble that the Flying Eagle didn't pull out, root and all.
I tried a second blade to be sure that I didn't just get a bad blade. The results the second time were the same as the first. They really are that bad.
