> 3 dayGreat performance with an Edwin Jagger razor and much more economical than the Feather blade that they are shipped with. I just got this Astra shipment but the manufacture date is 1/18. I waited along time for this shipment of 100 blades. I dont understand the inventory system. These blades are gentle and mild but still cut a difficult to shave hair growth so they are very sharp indeed. Every razor and face finds its best combination if one will experiment. This Astra brand is less than 50% of the cost of Feather, Wilkinson or Gillette Platnum. Dont even mention Merkur at $.90/ea. I have been told that they are the same as Wilkinsons. Same factory in Germany. Another factor is production lot to lot variation and I have not refilled this first order so the jury is still out on that one. So far, the Feather brand has not shown good uniformity in this manner. So far, the best performance and bang for the buck has been Astra, Voskhod and Shark. All of these brands are so cheap that they allow you to save alot of money over the others. UPDATE....The second blade that I used was not even sharpened at all ! I could not use it to shave with. Check you shipment for uniformity quality control issues before it is too late to return them !

> 3 dayThese blades are amazing! Theyre right in that Goldilocks zone, not too sharp, not too dull. I have a very thick and difficult to manage beard, but these are perfect for me. Wilkinsons take way too many passes and irritate my skin, feathers cut a little too close, but a four way pass with the Astra takes off all the hair without irritating. And they last too, I can use one blade for two or three shaves with no problem. I would totally recommend these blades!

> 3 dayTried several other brands and was always disappointed with inconsistent quality or short life. Not so with these. They consistently give me a close shave and almost always last me five or six shaves before I need to replace them. Highly recommend.

> 3 daySuper sharp. Clean shave cheap enough I feel fine to get a new one every two shaves and I don’t feel guilty about disposing of a entire plastic disposable razor.

Greater than one weekGood blade for me anyway. Exellent sharp and durable blade! use them in my straight bar,slant bar and my adjustable razors new and vintage and performance is even across the board. Every one touting the high stainless(and high PRICED) feathers. For me when I tried feathers were a sharp blade but do not last dull very quick. Astras give me 6 shaves per blade and could probably get more but quit at 6. Feathers 2 shaves so this is much more of an economic no brainer. But as they say your milage may vary

> 3 dayAstra is the best DE blade Ive used. Will not use another if I dont have to. Great product especially for my coarse facial hair. As a military dude, i can shave every day for a week with one blade.

Greater than one weekVery sharp blades. The first couple shaves sometimes irritates my skin, afterwards cuts smoothly, and I get no razor irritation. I can use each blade about 12 times before having to switch out. Have never had them rust.

> 3 dayIve tried different blades to shave with, and so far these feel the most comfortable to use. Other blades are very sharp and some not some much, this one falls somewhere in between. Very good. I will keep on buying these.
