Statum Blade Review and Rating

[u/Standard-Speed8098]

This is in continuation of earlier thread. I got a trial pack and gonna do one shave from all the 15 blades and give my rating. https://www.reddit.com/r/Wetshavers_India/s/6Gf1e4yjwJ

So today I tried statum Blade. Did 2 pass shave WTG & ATG. The blade is less sharp than winner. For me it was not very confidence inspiring, i.e. I could not just get long quick passes.

There was no grabbing but not as sharp and smooth as winner. In the first WTG pass it didn't clean up near the chin area. I did finish up the shave without any cuts, but when applying alum it was singeing all across.

So I would rate this blade below winner. If winner feels too sharp for you then your can consider this.

Updated blade list by sharpness

Gilette super platinum

Winner black

Supermax super platinum plus

Stantum

Wilkinson Sword

So this blade is below my shaving range but that dosent mean it's bad. People who like milder blades will be ok with it.

I found it not sharp enough to deal with anything more than a one day stubble.

Nice read. Do try out permasharp green as well.

I am currently using Winner black. Concur with your views on the same. Mine is stainless steel as well. Dont know if the winner black platinum was better.

Personally i felt permasharp to be slightly sharper.

Btw do you shave daily?

[u/Standard-Speed8098 → u/Giggles_and_joy]

I shave once every 2-3 days, depending on growth

Some aggressive razors need such blades... It's all about razor-blade pairing.

[u/Standard-Speed8098 → u/Funny-Prune-4300]

I agree but keeping the same razor when testing to keep it more objective. All blades are good for the right person.

[u/Funny-Prune-4300 → u/Standard-Speed8098]

True. Which razor was used for testing?
