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

Please see subject line. I originally started with a sampler pack of various blades and of those chose to use a titanium blade of which I ordered 50. I could usually get two shaves from them and if I pushed a third shave the blades would pull and not be comfortable. I figured I would use these up and now that I have I looked for something else. I found these and not sure after the first three shaves I will ever go back. The price is good, the shave is VERY comfortable and I am an all around happy camper. I recommend at least trying these blades and deciding for yourself.

Very Very good Safety razor blades. I bought a pack of 100 over a year ago and have yet to run out. These blades are very sharp and hold their edge quite well. I would say I got about 2 weeks before changing my blade. This is a steal of a deal considering modern razor blades cartridges are about $8+ apiece while these are $ .10 each and work just as well if not better than these new fancy 8 blade razors. Buy these and you wont be disappointed

I purchased this, when i moved back to a safety razor from a 2/3/5 blade razors. and this has been really good. - the packaging is professional, almost like the ones the barber has, so it nicely stacks away in the cabinet. - the quality of blade when compared to the other i had previously used is good, though it does not last as many shaves as some of the other brands, but well, its cheaper and the cost per shave is still much lower than some of the expensive ones - I also noticed that i dont have to run the blade twice over my skin, it does a clean shave in just one and the second is just for getting a cleaner edge - i do have to shape my beard, so it is a little tough to do it on yourself, but thats not an razor issue :) - overall super happy with the product will recommend it 10/10 - one tip that i learnt when i started shaving from my dad is to use slightly warm water to dip the blade in and to moisten the face with -try it and tell me if it helps.

Initially and a few years back when I was collecting my high-end razors the names or Dorco,Astra,Gillette 7 O’clock,and Feather clogged my brain as there was so much information put out there to digest. I have amassed many thousands of purchased blades and continue trying to understand the ratings both of my own testing and those of others; “What is the best blade?” I have favorite razors either double edge blade,single blade,half blade and injector or Artisan! “Everybody wants to get into the act....Jimmy Durante” I own many Ikon razors in mild,slant and aggressive persuations as well as Mongoose and the new “Leaf triple 1/2 blade” razor. The blade of choice here is the “Re-invented” Russian Astra “Green Box” platinum. My early Astras were supposedly made elsewhere. I have to admit, these Astras at 1/4 the cost of new “Feather Blades” are excellent at $.06 each on Amazon and will outlive me and my remaining collection. They last for 3 full triple pass shaves with proper pre-shave oils and warm lather pre treatment. Ted Bates in Fort Wayne,IN

I have purchased these more than once. recommend.

Blades feel very thin and flimsy compared to others ive had in the past but fit perfectly and get the job done. Great bang for your buck

I have been using Derby for 6+ months now but these blades are indeed superior. The blades are thin but sharp. There is no drag and there is not need to shave twice. I used to replace the Derby blade after 2 uses but these blades last me 3 uses. The only complaint is that they come in paper boxes and there is no place for discarding old blades.

Wet shaving is a personal process. Thinking that all razor blades are similar, if not the same, is not so. Each component of DE shaving affects how the other components function together. From water (hard/soft/treated with ?), your whiskers, pre-shave, soap, blade, and razor are unique. Buying a sample pack of various blades is highly recommended to determine what works for YOU. I have two razors and found it interesting that highly recommended blades would produce a smooth, close shave in one razor and in the other razor it felt like I was shaving with a broken beer bottle. Id try one blade in one razor, be excited on how well it performed, try it in the other razor the next week and have pitiful results. Astra blades perform very well in both my razors (1966 Gillette Super Speed and a Merkur 38C). Astra blades give a very close shave and are durable lasting a week (one pass on cheek/neck area and two on upper lip and chin).

They work great, so far so good.

i used to buy the Wilkinson brand at wal-mart, but they stopped carrying them. they were 10 pack for about $1.25. but only always had 1 or 2 in stock. i use a fresh blade every monday for the weekend shave, and the same blade for the rest of the week with no issues. this will last me for a long time even shaving every day. -1 star for being in packs of 5. i have been thinking of using a fresh blade every day to see if it is any different feeling...i dont want to have to go under the sink for a new pack every week. but thats just me being lazy. product is excellent.
