Some people will do better with five blades-but these more densely packed blades can clog more easily, and no matter how many blades are in the razor, it has to rinse well. But we’ve done enough testing to believe that you get a quicker, smoother shave from three-blade razors. Multiple blades: One blade is certainly enough to get the job done, and seven is definitely overkill.A razor handle should maneuver around the contours of your face without you having to twist and angle it too much, and we believe a heavier handle is better, since it offers more control. Five members of our eight-shaver test panel named it in their top three razors.

Sharpness The Gillette Silver Blues are one of the sharpest blades you can find, just a notch below the revered Feather blades. Modern multi-blade razors rarely nick or cut, so any razor that consistently did was eliminated. These Platinum blades are some of the finest DE blades available today.

Comfort during and after use: This means that the razor feels good on your face-it glides well, cutting without pulling or tugging. The major difference between the Gillette Silver Blue vs Gillette Platinum is that the Silver Blues is an excellent, long-lasting razor, it’s very sharp, but they give a very smooth and standard Gillette blade feel on the face.
