Product Overview
This Gillette blade sampler gathers fifteen Gillette and Gillette-family double edge blades, five of each, seventy-five blades in total. Gillette does not make a single double edge blade: under the Gillette umbrella there are blades produced in several countries, sold under names including Nacet, Silver Blue, Perma-Sharp, 7 O’Clock, Wilkinson Sword and Astra, and they do not all shave the same way.
Some carry the Gillette name on the wrapper and some do not, but all fifteen come from the Gillette group of brands.
Blade preference is personal rather than a question of quality. Beard coarseness, skin sensitivity, water, razor and technique all move the answer, so the practical way to find your blade is to shave with several and pay attention. That is exactly what a Gillette blade sampler is for.

Blade Compatibility
Every blade in this Gillette blade sampler is a standard double edge blade, designed to fit standard double edge safety razors, including three-piece, twist-to-open and adjustable models.
Some vintage, half-blade and specialty razors have their own requirements, so if you are using an unusual razor it is worth checking your razor’s own guidance first.
Who This Sampler Is Best For
A Gillette blade sampler earns its place in three situations.
How to Test the Blades
Work through the Gillette blade sampler one type at a time and it will tell you something useful. Rush it and seventy-five blades simply blur together.
- Change one thing at a time. Keep your razor, soap and technique the same while you work through the blades.
- Give each blade more than one shave. A blade often feels different on the second and third pass than it does straight out of the wrapper.
- Keep a short note of which blade you used and how the shave felt. Without it, seventy-five blades blur together.
- Judge comfort as well as closeness. A blade that shaves close but leaves irritation is not the right blade for you.
- Keep each blade in its own wrapper until you use it, so you always know which type you are picking up.
Five blades of a type is enough for a fair trial rather than a single impression, since most shavers get several shaves from one double edge blade.
Care and Safe Disposal
Keep the unused blades from your Gillette blade sampler dry and stored in their original wrappers. Place used blades in a sealed Razor Blade Bank or another puncture-resistant container. Never place loose blades directly in household trash.
Assortment notice: blade types may vary depending on availability. If a blade type is unavailable, it is replaced with an equal or higher value blade while maintaining the full 75-blade quantity.
Shipping and Returns
