I just finished shaving using a Merkur Progess safety razor and the “Sweedish” Gillette blades.
This was the best shave I had till now! The Gillette blades are sharp but very comfortable and forgiving if you make mistakes.
I got no nick whatsoever. Multiple passages on the same area were greatly reduced. I must now go to find a cheap source because these blades cost substantially more than the Feathers and BICs.
I will also have to try the Derby Extra blades.
