Astra Superior Platinum Double Edge Shaving Razor Blades 100 Pcs Barber Favored by Astra

*Beware of other listings that appear to have possible counterfeit blades. These are legit as of now* Ive been using Wilkinson Swords for years since I started using double edge like ten years ago. I had tried these and the WSs in a sample pack. I dont really remember how I felt about these specific ones other than maybe they are less forgiving/more aggressive and I was new. The WSs have been great for a long time, but my dollar shave blades that I use for travel have been giving me a better shave than my safety razor. That aint right. After that frustration, I managed to find my old collection of sample blades and tried these first. Wow. What a difference. These Astra blades cut through days old stubble, no problem. They are very sharp. And now that I know what Im doing, their willingness to cut effectively actually seems to have drastically reduced nicking. I will say though, if you have any pimples or anything, be careful with these. My Swords would just go over that stuff. These Astras... Dont. Like I said, they are sharp. I used my old new Astra blade over the last week and loved it. I then let my stubble grow a few days before trying this new pack. Im pleased to say, they are still great. So if you are brand new, Id say give the Wilkinson Swords a shot as they are a lot easier to learn with and they do a decent job if youre actually shaving each day. But after you get some experience, Astra is a great move. Especially if you, like me, tend to let it go a few days in between.

I have a medium beard and shave every 2-3 days. This blade provides ultra smooth shaving experience with a longevity lending to 4-5 good shaves on a blade. i use with an open comb razor that yields a BBS shave on one pass and cleanup!!

Love these and they are smooth and easy. These blades are not the sharpest. These razors succeed in comfort. Highly recommended them as you get a whole pack of 100 and you receive great quality.

Dud its job amooth shave

I previously tested the LORD brand, these are in the same range of quality and feel.

these blades are so sharp, compared to the Viking blades i got with the set i ordered with the Viking razor, i thought they werent working the first shave, they were so smooth they cut right through my tough hair, i get about 6 shaves out of 1 blade, these are my go-to blades for now on, way way better then the Vikings

Not one nick in two weeks

These are the best razor blades I have ever used. And I am not a reviewer - just a regular guy. They are very sharp - and that actually makes them EASIER to use. They are really a pleasure.

I like these.

I ordered a sampler pack to try different blades and brands and this one was by far the best for me therefore came Back to order a big pack to use as my primary blades. I give haircuts to my kids nephews and friends kids. In total I have about 8-9 kids I consistently give haircuts too at home and these provide a clean cut with little nicks
