Author: Dan from The Shaving Shack I've been using these for a couple of weeks now in my Merkur Progress 570 and am delighted to say that they certainly live up to their reputation! In my opinion they are as sharp as our Israeli Made blades but the shave is quite a bit smoother. I can also squeeze an extra one or two days worth of shaving out of them, which makes them extremely good value for money. Overall, very impressed.
Author: Pedro D. I tried the Derby's sometime ago - they are surprisingly good for the price.
On my old Gillette FatBoy, they work very well and give me a nice smooth shave - for me, they feel better than the new Wilkinson's (as in smoother, I feel less drag as the blade slices through the whiskers).
Duration wise, they usually last me around 4 shaves of 3/4 passes each (of course depending on your beard is, your mileage may vary).
Overall, a really nice, smooth, affordable blade, that was really much better than what I had expected.
Author: paul ash hmm a tough one this i have tried both your israeli blades and the derby above and concour with the author above that dependant upon your growth i having a very heavy one find the dont last that long where as it appears on my face and beard the sharper the blade the easier it seems to blunt they are very sharp and you should take great care using them if your new to this game and have a heavy growth stick with the israeli
Author: David Barlow I want to keep this review rather short and avoid getting into the "engagement ring" syndrome. You know the score, love the first ring you see then spend three weeks trying to find a better one.
When you find something that completely suits you why run around road-testing the entire market?
The Shack's Israeli blades are very good but the (Turkish made) Derby blades are just a cut above; sorry but the pun was intended.
No cuts, they feel clean, readily available from Dan & the team and they do a damn good job of work!!
So, all in all, much better value than an engement ring...
I'm thrilled with them.
Author: Henrik Fredriksson Nope, not for me. Very overrated blades I would say. There are better ones around- smoother as well as sharper. Especially I lack the smoothness in these.
Author: Mikko Siljamaki These blades seems to work perfectly with my Merkur 34C. I have tried Feather and Israeli but Derby blades are the ones that give a nice and smooth shave.
Author: Alan Guest I use these as my everyday blade with my merkur 34C. They are great value and give an amazing shave, these last about 3 shaves for me, but I do have heavy growth. Great service as usual from shaving shack!
Author: Elliot Winter I tried these blades as my free gift. Sad to say, I don't get on well with them. They leave my face irritated and raw.
On the flip side, my friend loves them. My experience seems to be the exception, rather than the rule.
For the price, I can't complain.
I just prefer the Israeli blades from this site.
Author: John Shuttleworth I've only been shaving with a DE for a few months but was amazed at just how much difference there is in the different blades on the market. So far the Derby blades have given the best performance and I'm getting 5 days wear out of each blade in my 34C.
Author: Ian Morewood Smooth, comfortable and sharp these blades are a step up from the Wilkinson Sword blades that I previously used and will make a regular appearance in my kit bag.
Author: Peter Summersell When I started DE shaving, I was using exclusively Merkurs which came with the 34c and getting mixed results and a lot of irritation that I'd never experienced before with any disposable or cartridge razor. I've since switched to Derbys based on advice that they were particularly good for guys with sensitive skin. My shaves are now consistently smooth and irritation free.
Author: Andrew D I'm new to wetshaving and these are the first blades I went for. They were excellent. Very close shave and very little irritation. I would definitely recommend these.
Author: Daniel Topp I've been using these blades everyday for just over a fortnight now with no complaints with the blades themselves so far. They offer me a smooth shave with very little pulling and tend to last for 4 to 5 shaves.
The only small complaint that I do have is with the box that they come in as I doesn't have a slot on the bottom to insert used blades like some other brands do but I'm not going to let something as small as that put me off using them.
