- This is my compassion shave between the Permasharp Stainless Double Edge Blade & Feather Hi-Stainless Blade. I was always curious about the Permasharp Blades as many people in the wet shaving community have often compared these 2 blades as being very close in performance.I used a Mekur 34C Safety Razor as well as 1st Line Shave Blue Label Shave Soap & my Maggards Blue/White Synthetic Gray Shaving Brush.Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements 2.0 Pre-Shave Menthol Cube was also used as well as Denim Aqua Aftershave..

Great video, not too many covering Perma Sharp either. It's good practice trying new/ unfamiliar blades in the same razor. In will have to try these. Personally I love Astra. They are sharp, super sharp and so damn cheap to buy. I never shave more than 2/3 shaves with them versus 5 with Feather. The Feather steel feels 'tougher' somehow. But Astras are going for 200 blades for £7.50 . At that price shave then recycle after 1 shave!
Thanks Al, I was pleasantly surprised on how sharp & how well the Perma-Sharp blades were. The Astras are great blades. I personally like how well the Astra Super-Stainless Blades shave (the blue pack). Thanks for watching & enjoy the shaves!😎👍
*It would be so cool, to see you do a (Permasharp **-VS-** Nacet) video.*
Thanks for watching! I might have to do that soon!👍😎
Great comparison Mike I found perma Sharp cheaper on EBay around $14 for 100 and I like it more then Feather because first shave with Feather is little rough to me then perma Sharp
Thanks Nate! That’s a great deal on EBay! Thanks for Watching & have a great week😎👍
Hey Brian, the Voskhods are made in the Rapira factory I believe, rather than the St. Petersburg(?) factory where the Gillettes are. Perma Sharp are excellent blades for me. Bic yellow and Nacet are worth trying if you’re looking for a sharp blade. Also the newer Gillette Platinum. Ah there’s tons out there
anyway, good stuff, thanks for the video
Thanks Brother! I will have to look into those Blade recommendations & try them! I bet much of these fantastic Russian Blades are manufactured in the same factory. That’s the beauty of wet shaving
..... so many great Blades to try! Have a great weekend👍😎
First off great video! Weird question but does the adhesive stuck to the blades build up inside your razors and if so how do you properly clean it out of the razor?
I’ve never honestly had a problem with the blade adhesive sticking to my razors. I usually periodically clean my razors with scrubbing bubbles when they get soap scummy…… maybe that also gets off what ever glue residue that is there. Thanks for stopping by & watching Brother!👍😎
Thanks so much for your reply I appreciate it! :) @@brianthefloridian6254
Great shave, good blades. I can’t find Denim here 😅
Thanks Kurt! I happened to find Denim at a discount store called Marshals. I have also seen it at another store called TJ Maxx. Do they have those stores where you are? Hope you have a great week & thanks for Watching!👍😎
@@brianthefloridian6254 cool. Nope, not in Nor 🇳🇴
PermaSharps are in my top 5 blades. Do you know for sure if the PermaSharp Stainless are the same as the Supers?
Some say they’re the same and some say the supers are sharper.
Do you have any clue?!
Sorry Brother, just saw this! Are you meaning the Supermax blades? I never tried those blades yet but they on my list to try! These PermaSharp blades are pretty sharp, not as csharp as Feathers but sharper than most. Thanks for Watching!😎👍
Both blades are good!
How's the Maggard brush knot feel?
Anyway, stay warm & stay safe in these days temporary new glacial period!
The Maggard gray synthetic knot is fantastic! Soft & with a little bit of backbone. To me it feels very similar to the Synbad synthetic knot from AP Shave Co. Thanks for Watching Brother & have a great week! 👍😎
Great video Man,you be tried BIC CHROME PLATINUM?
I did a while ago & actually they weren’t for me. I may have to revisit them again soon!😎👍
Bro, also try the gillette Playinum blades someyimes i feel they are sharper than feather
I tried them but I find them to be not as sharp or smooth as Feather. Good blade but I like Gillette Silver Blues better. I know blades are subjective & YMMV! Thanks for watching😎👍
Greats blade comparison! Have you tried “Bolzano Superinox”? They are nice and sharp, smooth in my opinion they’re a bit sharper than Perma Sharp. In my opinion it would be Feather, Bolzano Superinox and then Perma Sharp..Have a good weekend 🙌🏾✌🏾
Thanks Marc! I tried the Bolzano Superinox blades in the past but I didn’t remember them as being sharper than the Permasharps. I did remember getting a nice smooth shave from them. I will have to revisit that blade because it’s been a while since I last used a Superinox. Thanks for Watching & have a great week👍😎
Tried the Balzano for the first time recently and really like them. Normally a Feather guy. No, not as sharp as the Feather but was a more comfortable close shave.
Have been a feather shaver for as long as I can remember. A long time ago I read and saw that Kai…another Japanese blade…was rival in the area of sharpness. Tried em. I can tell you that one thing I learned back then was that sharp or sharper is not always better or closer. The Kai was a dangerous shave for me. And I do not have sensitive skin. They were definitely sharp, but the edge and the coatings make “alike” blades different. Will have to try Perma Sharp. Balzano we’re excellent but for a little more $ I will still choose Feather. And actually, just tried the Gillette Silver Blue and really liked the result. Much cheaper than Feather and performed well.
Devin White is a beast I really like him along with Lavante David, JJP , Shaq Barret and company
Yes Sir! That Bucs defense is pretty tough with those guys! The Chiefs can attest to that! Lol
But btw teflon blades get sharper like voskhod after the teflon gets worn down, if you did not know they sharpen up some and that are not the case with feather.And the price on top on that
Kai’s are nearly as sharp as feather and smoother in my opinion. You might like them
I will have to try the Kai Blades! I hear from many Wet Shavers that they are close to what Feather Blades are.....Sharp & Smooth. Thanks for watching & the recommendation Brother👍😎
13:08 = Bad technique going sideways on the cut under your lobe. If you haven't already, you will get a nice slice.
Thanks for Watching! I guess I’ve been pretty lucky since I’ve started wet shaving with my technique….. no slices yet on the lobe! Lol
I discovered my mistake in not liking Permasharps was due to testing on Merkur 37C. It is too aggressive on my skin. Pairs perfectly well with King C Gillette in just 2 XTG passes without irritation.
I agree. Sometimes blades that work well with a least aggressive razor are sometimes too rough with a more aggressive razor. I find using a permasharp or feather on the Rex Ambassador no matter the setting is a little rough compared to being the best blades for me with a Merkur 34C. Thanks for watching!👍😎
@@brianthefloridian6254 Thanks!
Quick update: Ironically, I switched back to Merkur 37C. What worked with King C Gillette works with Merkur 37C, too. However King C Gillette kept catching the moustache area. Merkur 37C is much better around the upper lip area.
Gillette Platinum blades are almost as sharp as Feather but smoother.
Have to revisit those blades & check them out! Thanks for watching Brother! Have a great week!😎👍
Sharpest blade is BIC, try it with feather.
I have tried the BICs in the past but to me the Feathers are smoother & sharper. YMMV. Thanks for Watching Brother👍😎
So you're telling me they have forever chemicals on the blades? Teflon
Persona lab blue is Good but i like the russian blades .,Wizamet iridium, , Polsilver , , Rapira lux super, Ladas , voskhod , gillette they have like 10 russian sorts , Ladas orginal, There is some serious sharp russian blades
Every Russian Blade I’ve used is fantastic! You are right about Russian Blades! I prefer the Personna Reds to the Lab Blues...... I find the Reds to be sharper & smoother imho. Thanks for watching & have a great week Brother!👍😎
Feather blades are really the best there is in my opinion and IV tried most of them, especially if you have coarse hair. If you want another Sharp blade that's good try BIC if you haven't already
I agree...... Feathers seem to be the best when it comes to sharpness & smoothness. I really enjoy the Feather blades in my DE razors I tried the BIC blades in the past & they didn’t agree with me. Thanks for Watching Brother! Have a great week👍😎
@@brianthefloridian6254 yes feather blades are excellent, when I first started de shaving I couldn't use them but when my technique improved and I started using less pressure they work great and definitely cut the hair easier then other blades. Ok I see my experience with Bic blades are they seem to work great in some razors and in other razors not so well so I can see why you may have not liked them
For me the real question would be....is a Feather as good as Perma-Sharp. As they are so smooooooth. Perma-Sharp are in my to 4 list. I prefer a good balance between sharp and smooth. Not looking for the sharpest but a good balance.
Yes! They are both pretty fantastic Blades but I give the nod to Feather because I feel that are sharper & smoother to me but to others YMMV.! I do really like the Permasharps as they are quickly moving into my small list of favorite Blades. Thanks for watching & have a great weekend Brother👍😎
Nacet blades from Gillette are really sharp give them a try
I have & they are one of my favorite blades! Thanks for watching Brother👍😎
@@brianthefloridian6254 your welcome sir
Totally different look than the other Russians.
If a Feather blade is a 9.5/10 then what would you rate a Perma Sharp?
I would rate the Perma Sharp a notch below the Feather, probably 8.5/9 in terms of sharpness & smoothness. Perma Sharp blades are fantastic, great value & underrated in my opinion! Thanks for watching & have a great weekend!👍😎
@@brianthefloridian6254 thank you. can you also add to the context your opinion on Gillette Silver Blue blades?
@@ffsurji hey not sure if you still need a opinion but I have pretty much every blade tested by now. Perma sharps are a bit sharper than SB's but SB's are smoother especially on the face. I prefer perma sharp since I'm doing head shaves with dense hair and they plow through it easier for sure
@@azeQify thanks I am looking for a blade that has sharpness that's in between SB's and Feathers, and that has durability that can last about 3 or 4 shaves. Do Permasharps fit this description?
@@ffsurji I can do max 3 head shaves with it (wtg,atg) before it starts to tug really bad so if you plan on using perma's for the face I can assure you they will last you a good time.
I hate this blades 😤
