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

I have very thick, coarse hair but also sensitive skin. Ive tried feather but those are too aggressive and also a handful of others that wouldnt cut my hair as well. These hit the sweet spot for me. Still very sharp but still good for my skin and not overly priced either. These are my go-to blade for the foreseeable future.

A nice close shave

I like the value and the quality

I bought the Van Der Hagen 5 pack of blades for 2 years for approximately $3. No one told me you could buy another brand that worked better for less. Im dumb sometimes.

Good quality razor blades. Shave my head daily and they dont irritate and shave easily.

I’m sure these razors will be fine, but they came labeled as “made in Russia”. Would not have bought them, had I known that in advance.

These are premium blades at a low price. With my beard,a Gillette cartridge lasts one week.Each of these blades also lasts a week with a better overall shave. 11 cents vs. 3 bucks. Gillette didnt abandon the double edge razor because of improved technology.It all came down to a more profitable technology.Dont play that game.

When I first got a safety razor, I tried Feather blades. they were good, but didnt last very long. These are cheaper and I can get 10 shaves per blade. If you shave every other day, and get 10 shaves per blade, it will be nearly 5.5 years before you need more.

I bought this 100 pack in early 2020 & again in 2021. Quality is consistent, & the blades have the embossed logo & are not blank, as with some other listings. I use a shavette on my own face, as well as for barbering others. I also use a Zazor DE razor (not unlike a Razorine, but cheaper & better.) For years I used Wilkinson Sword razors bc they were ubiquitous & got the job done well. Astra Superior Platinum are just a bit less smooth & a bit sharper in comparison. I have thick, curly 3C hair, & this slices right through. Its also a breeze for use on others. Not quite as sharp or unforgiving as Feather blades & thats why theyre my favorite. My one little quibble is the waxy sealant on the envelope. I really wish it didnt have that as it builds up on my razors, but a little warm soapy water takes care of it well enough.

I’ve read some people complaining that the blades don’t last long. I get two full head and face shaves per blade but they are great shaves no irritation. For the price of them, I’ll take that for a clean smooth shave. I do a complete shave mostly twice a week. There’s 20 packs of five blades and I use a pack a month so one box last me over a year and a half. I spent $14 for 20 months of blades; well worth it even with the short life of the blade!!
