Back in November, Bill Bumgarner bought a sampler pack of safety razor blades. Week by week, he wrote a review of a different blade. The posts interested me, having recently switched to a Merkur razor. All blades have been trialled, and the results are in. Bill writes, “The Dorco, Derby, and Wilkinson Sword blades all proved to be quite good. Of the three, I would lean to the Dorco but may need to give the Derby a try every now and then, too.” There you have it folks.

At the end of the review, Bill offers his remaining blades to anyone who is interested in performing the same experiment. I’ve since sent him an email. We’ll see if I’m the lucky recipient.
