    I am new to DE shaving. Ive spent the past few years through college just using my beard trimmer to get the 5 o clock shadow look because I got ingrown hairs and razor burn no matter what. I had tried $200 electric braun razors, top of the line 5 blade razors, specialty shaving creams and gels, and sensitive skin razors. No matter what avenue I took, I would end up with extremely sensitive skin due to razor burn on my neck, and ingrown hairs all over my face. I had contemplated switching to DE for years, but was hesitant due to the learning curve. However, I have to say this is by far the best investment Ive ever made. I have only cute myself once, and that was due to a sampler pack of blades I initially purchased. I gave about 20 blades a shot, and the Astra platinum blades were the best for my face. Feathers were undoubtedly the sharpest of the pack, but too sharp for my skin (hence how I got my first and only DE cut). After sampling so many blades, I knew this was the blade for me. 1 blades lasts a good 3 shaves, more if you have softer whiskers, but since theyre so cheap, I switch mine out every 2 shaves just to get the best quality shave I can get. I bought a VDH handle from target for $18, and a highly rated shave soap (prorasaro?), a badger brush, and havent looked back since. In just two weeks of shaving consistently every other day with these blades, my face and neck have completely cleared up. My girlfriend noticed and asked what I was doing differently and said my face has never been so smooth. I usually do a triple pass shave every other day, lathering up in between each pass. I know, without a doubt this is the blade for me, but I would still suggest trying a sample pack first. At any rate, even though my trimmer was definitely the cheapest shaving route, I could never label that as a shave. I can now enjoy have a smooth, blemish-free face all the time, and enjoy the shaving experience every time. Its actually something I look forward to every night. I shave at night, after showering, usually around 10-11pm. My face doesnt start feeling like sandpaper until about 3-4pm the next day, and doesnt start looking unkempt until the second day - this coming from a guy who has had a full goatee since 7th grade and a full beard since 9th grade. The shave is incredibly close, without causing irritation. All of these positive reviews arent just blowing smoke. These blades are the real deal. My only quibble is that I wish each 5ct box came with a blade dispenser like some other brands do. But I just toss them in a small cardboard box until theyre ready to go out.

    Other razors are not sharp enough to get through my stubble. The platinum coating on these makes them sharper and more comfortable. Also, the value for money is great. Featherlight is the sharpest, but those are unreasonably expensive.

    They seem really great. Ive had difficulty actually comparing straight-edge razor blades. I got one of those packs with many types of razors. Whenever I thought that one of them was really good, then I used the other one (it came with two of each) and it didnt seem quite as good. Ive only used 2-3 of these so far, and theyve been pretty good, but I remember having some really excellent shaves with some of the multi-brand packs, and I dont remember having that with these. Anyways, I went for this pack because it was second-highest rated compared to feather. I like that its such a large pack, so I wont have to worry about razors for quite some time.

    Blades are great. Very inexpensive and I get three shaves per blade. They are also very comfortable to use.

    All the blades so far are in the pack are blanks. Theres an edge, but no where on them is there writing saying brand name, etc... Not sure if they are legit because the nothing of this. Update: I discovered that my blades do have writing on them. At the top, it says ASTRA and on the bottom, Platinum. I find it very hard to see unless the blade is angled correctly in direct light.

    There are a lot of reviews on this product so I dont have much to add, but will say that DE blade preference is a highly personal topic. Some blades work great for some & terribly for others, so you have to try multiple types until you find one that works for you. I find these Astra SP blades smooth and they give me a GREAT shave. Plus theyre inexpensive. Good luck finding a blade that works for you!

    I found these to be very sharp-not feather quality but close. I paid $12 for a 100 and with a minimum of 4 shaves per blade that is 3 cents per. I did not find the wax to be an issue. I wish it had a container for the old blades but that is easily remedied.

    These sons of a gun are sharp. When I shave the sides of my head I need to be extra careful. But they line up my beard so well.

    Great product. I had been using Feathers for a year, but they were far too sharp for my level of proficiency. These blades are sharp enough to get many good consecutive shaves without irritating my skin. Ive even had a few shaves without any nicks, which is a nice change.

    I have tried Derby, Shark and others but this is the best for my skin and beard type. The shave is clean and I use this one for four to five shaves. I get too many nicks with the other brands I have.

ASTRA stainless double edge blades fit all double edge razors. ASTRA blades are made from the highest quality steel. Each ASTRA blade provides unsurpassed quality, smoothness and durability for a long lasting, smooth shave.
