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

I was using the Gillette Platinums before this but wanted to try it after seeing online reviews for a new blade. I have pretty sensitive skin and primarily shave my neck (since I upkeep a beard) so I needed some thing that didn’t catch and cause cuts or ingrown hairs. My hair is fairly coarse. These blades glide through the hairs like they’re not even there. And for the price, I doubt I’ll buy anything else. Definitely recommend.

Cant beat the price of these razor blades compared to Mach 3, Schick Quattro, and other major competitors. The DE razor community is making a strong come back and its affordable! I have to shave everyday for my job; so I end up spending a ton on facial grooming products. Switching to the DE razor and using the Astra blades has cut my shaving costs significantly. I can usually get about three complete shaves per blade. Im currently using the Merkur 34C DE razor and these blades fit perfect and can be changed out in a matter of seconds. I highly recommend researching how to use a DE razor and follow the proper techniques to ensure a smooth and gentle shave. Also experiment with the different shave lathers and soaps. What works for some may not work for you. Dont give up on the first try. Its worth your money in the end to make the switch.

I had been in the process of trying various blades, ones available at my local stores and some various things online. I first got the Astra Superior Premium Platinums in a variety pack of blades and for some reason they just stuck out as a great blade to me. I have a very coarse, thick beard and shave daily, so I tend to swap the blades out every two or three days, with these I can usually get 4 good days out of them (lather, shave with grain, lather, shave against grain) before I notice a difference in how smooth the cut is. Ill definitely be sticking with these until I find something better (if and when that happens), but you really cant beat the deal on the cost!

You cant go wrong with these. If you want quality, durability, and value from your razor blades look no further. Can you get higher quality? Yes, but the difference in my opinion is marginal. Better durability? Sure, but theres a fine line between durability and quality of the shave. I think these razors straddle the line perfectly. Value? Yeah. I havent found too many blades cheaper that have the quality of shave that I get from the Astras though. I think Astra has found the happy medium between quality, durability, and value. I doubt Ill ever use any other blades.

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.

Ive had experience with Derby (not very good), Feather (super sharp), and Merkur (good middle of the road blade) razor blades before purchasing Astra Superior Premium Platinum blades. I was going to get another pack of Feather blades, but decided to give these a try based on their rating and lower price when compared to Feather blades. After using them for a month or so, I have to say these are now my favorite blades. I feel I get a really close shave, but without the added nicks and cuts I occasionally got when using Feather blades, which are about the sharpest you can get. I think Feather blades feel a lot sharper, but the Astra blades still get the job done without the draw back of nicks and cuts that came with the super sharp Feather blades. Dont get me wrong I would still give Feather razor blades 5 stars as well, I just prefer the Astra blade as it tends to be a more comfortable blade to use use and in general works better for me. I say they are the most comfortable for me based on next to zero nicks and cuts, and no razor burn.

This is a great and inexpensive blade. I get a week or two out of one blade easy. Ive tried several other blades, but none are close to this blade. For the money this is an excellent choice for a safety razor and the 100 pack will last years. This is the best blade Ive found so far. Just buy it, you wont regret it.

These blades are so sharp they cut through hair like butter and leave the skin smooth and soft. I recommend these to anyone using a safety razor or straight razor!

These are still my favorite DE safety razor blades. They are smooth smooth when new, and I get ten shaves out of them before I toss them, but I could get more if I tried. For me on ej89 they are similar and so slightly better than voskhods. They do have wax dots, so if that doesnt agree with you, condolences, but try another brand. Buy a couple bricks of 100 and shave happy.

Im liking these blades so far. Ive just begun, at more than a few decades hiatus, using a safety razor again. Im getting about a week out of each blade. I might dial it back to five days or so, but Im going to see how things go. Only a few nicks, but its been less than a month that Ive gone back old school. Still getting the hang of it. But these blades are superior to the single blade that shipped with the razor.
