Astra Platinum Double Edge Safety Razor Blades ,100 Count (Pack of 1)

Sharp, long lasting and cheap. What else do you want. I typically get 3-5 shaves from a blade and at $0.08 per blade you can’t go wrong.

Gives a great close shave with no razor burn for the first 4-5 shaves. After 5 or six shaves, using the same shaving cream every time, it starts to give a bit of razor burn on the neck. Slightly more cost compared to Shark, Dorco and Derby, but I have found those 3 blades generally only get 2-3 shaves before needing replacing. Over the course of a year, the cost per shave worked out the be the same because you swap out blades more often. Over the course of the last decade or so, having tried those 4 blades as well as Feather and multiple Gillettes, I would rate Astra as one of the top 2 blades when you compare the number of shaves, closeness of shaves per pass, and cost per shave. I would also contend that the less expensive blades are more forgiving with nicks, Feather and Astra definitely require an excellent technique to avoid said nicks and cuts.

The package I received were made in Russia and handled my manly stubble and wifes needs smoothly and with ease. If well rinsed and the edge is carefully dried off I get about 4 good shaves from one blade. With such a great price whats there not to like?

BEST razor on the market! I have tried other brands, and nothing like the shave you get from these. All other brands would make me rash or bleed, but these are so smooth. Highly recommend this razor over all others. Flip the razor over when one side gets dull, the other side is still sharp. Best razor, ill never buy anything else.

Good safty razor gave me a close shave be careful they are very sharp anymore than one or two passes and you could get a little razor burn I also use Dorco and Gellet blades in my many safty razors as I wont compare I like that Gellet is USA made ! I also use Barbasol Thick @ Rich Original shaving cream its the best stuff for safty razors not gel or any other brand of cream I learn through trial and error take care and be safe .

Having gotten these then youve joined the masses heading towards better / cheaper shaves thanks to people finding that the way Dad and Granddad shaved was actually better. Astra Superior Platinum Blades are my choice simply because they work for me. I get an amazingly good shave with these, they last way longer than other blades Ive tried and I recommend these to everyone that I know that is a double edged shaver. While all blades are not the same and different blade / razor combinations yield different results for different people. These work for me. Give them a try. You wont regret it.

I used to be of the opinion that sharper was better. I bought a 100 pack of Feathers and was quite happy until my face started to get irritated. Could be bad technique but when I switched to the Astras, it went away. Now I will say, these arent as sharp as some of the uber-sharp blades. But what they give up in sharpness they gain in smoothness. In the end, I get just as close a shave with these as I did with the Feathers but with much less irritation. And the price! They just cant be beat at this price.

Great blades. Shaved through 2-3 day growth with no problem or irritation. Love these! And for 8 cents a blade. I can’t complain! For $24 you could use a brand new razor every day of the year!

I really like these. The only other blade that is comparable for me is Merkur (I use a Merkur razor), and those cost more than 5 times as much. I have trouble describing why theyre better. I couldnt really say if my shave is smooth, soft, sharp, aggressive, tugging, gentle, or whatever other people say in reviews. All I know is I get a close shave without irritation.

This is not made in Italy. The box says it is made in Russia.
