What other blades should I consider?

My take on find perfect Blade is different than many people.  I sort of like Gillette’s 7-O-Clocks, the Black never works well for me, they only go 2 - 3 Shaves, s]so that are not a lot of bang for buck.  I like the Yellows, and Greens.  Those Blade held me 5-7 Great Shaves.  But that is what work well on my Beard, everyone’s Beard is not the same as mine.  So the only advice is buy some blade Sample, and hope you find something that works well on your Beard.  Wish I had a magic answer for you but being honest & blind I cannot predict what will work well for you personally.

The 7 O'Clock Black blades don't work for me either but I do like the 7 O'Clock Yellow blades quite a bit.
