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

I should have trusted my gut from the reviews about people saying the Astra blades have a new design that isn’t has good as it used to be. Other people who disliked these blades have showed pictures of the new blades that have faded lettering and are not just as sharp as the previous design. The blades are inconsistent with one side being sharper than the other. Which is a problem for me because I’m forced to use only one side of the blade for a shave which even gets dull half way through shaving. That leaves me with half my face left to shave and me having to use the same blade thats dull on both sides or having to go though the hassle of changing the blade out mid shave. I’m not even sure why they have numbers 3 and 4 on the blade because using the same Astra blade twice left me with razor burn and discomfort multiple days after I had shaved. My guess is that the people who positively reviewed these blades are people who are using the old design and have not yet bought the newly designed blades. I am going to try some Wilkinson Sword blades and I recommend you do the same and not waste your money on these blades.

Astra platinum double blades is only 4 stars due to the fact Ive only used two blades so far. They feel really sharp when I shave, and so far have not really irritated my sensitive skin. See what happens overtime

Like many other reviewers, I had a few of these from a sample pack and they were awesome,. I bought these despite the reviews saying they werent the same and I sadly must confirm that these are just not that great. Go with Silver Blues made by the woke company that proclaims they are the best a man can get.

These are a fraction of the price of Van der Hagen razor blades, but they fit if youre looking for a cheaper alternative.

Best Blade I have used and I have tried a lot

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!

I ordered these blades for my safety new raiser. I have been happy with them, they are exactly as expected. They only last for about 4 uses, but still much cheaper than the alternative.

These are one of my favorite blades. They are sharp but they also provide a very smooth shave. It is a pleasure to shave with these blades. No tugging and they last for a number of shaves.

I tried several of these blades and am very disappointed. They are extremely dull and I cannot get a close shave. Theres a 6 month old disposable razor in my shower that works better than these. Reading other reviews, it seems like there are multiple manufacturers and its luck of the draw what you get. I will not be buying these again, going to try something more reliable.

I had some Van der Hagen razors that ended up being really grabby, straight out of the package. These, so far cut like buttah. No grabs, no snags.
