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

I am tired of buying super expensive razors with lots of plastic that needs to be thrown away at some point. Also, frankly, when Im in the store staring at rows of replacement cartridges, I cant remember which brand of handle I have at home, and whether it is the latest 3 razor model, the super fantastic 4-razor model, etc, all of which attach in their own special proprietary ways. So I ran across a 40-year old nickel plated double-edge razor in an antique store that cost less than a package of replacement blades and I thought Id give it a try. I remember learning to shave with just such a razor, but I also remember hacking the heck out of my face. Guess my face has changed, or I have, because Ive used the vintage razor for quite a while now and havent cut myself any more than with the high-cost cartridge razors. The shave is just as close, in my opinion, and the cost is significantly less. Not to mention there isnt a lot of wasted by-products in either the packaging or the product itself, so definitely a greener alternative. Highly recommend you give this a try. These blades are sharp, extremely economical, and last as long as the cartridges.

These are my go-to blades. I use them in my Merkur FUTUR razor at a 3.5 setting. I personally consider the FUTUR razor as a more aggressive razor, which makes these blades a perfect combination since they are not very sharp like the Feather blades, as an example. Since I have a tendency to get ingrown hairs, I get three uses out of these blades using one or two passes for each shave (always with the grain). Others may get more uses out of these blades, but I dont risk it. Anyone who has experienced ingrown hairs can relate to this. In any case, I highly recommend these blades!

I used them for the first time today and I’m extremely satisfied with its performance. By far the best shaving experience yet with a razor and I’m 44 years old. You get 100 blades for a little under $10. One of the best deals on Amazon for men.

This is a hard one. The blades work well and I have not cut myself with them. Thats good because I have with another brand. Im not sure if its the blades or the razor but these do seem to fit looser in the razor than some others I have tried. One side seems to protrude less than the other. Also what is the sticky substance (2 dots) on every blade? That said I use them about four shaves before replacing and would buy again.

Nice razors. Cheap as all get out too! I went from $20 for 4 cartridges on the Gilette Fusion to $10 for 100 of these bad boys for my safety razor. Make the change, shave like a man, shine in the adoration of women.

Pretty good for their price! My skin is super sensitive and it didn’t give me any issues :) Very happy

I bought these for fly tying : trimming spun deer hair. They work super well for that. The center of the first blade I tried (have only used one) had a sticky / gummy residue which I suppose is from the individually-wrapped paper packages, but this seemed rather minor. They would probably be awesome for shaving, but Ive never had that much facial hair to really bother with learning to use a safety razor :)

I hate spending shopping and I hate spending money. These are sharp and clean and last a few shaves. I have bought razors in years which means I havent had to go to the store and I havent had to spend money. So thats pretty cool. Ive also got sensitive skin and get wicked ingrown hairs. My face skin has been pretty awesome since Ive started using it. And I feel tough using a single blade razor.

Very good blades for the price. I get about 5 shaves out of one before I change it (shave every day mon-fri. Could very likely get many more shaves however I change my blade every Monday so that I dont forget to) if you figure there are 100 blades for around ten dollars and 52 weeks in a year, I spend about 5 dollars a year to shave every weekday. Pretty sweet value.

I have sampled various blades since starting my adventure with DE shaving and I think I have finally found THE ONE. I have a pretty thick stubble and I shave every other day. What I like the most about this blade is the buttery smoothness. And the cherry on the top is that I get at least 4 good shaves out if it. Smooth, sharp and goes long.
