Author: Peter Summersell I got my first set of these as part of a large sample selection pack of blades a few years back. All the other brands are still in their packets on a shelf because once I tried these I never looked back. Less likely to decapitate you than the feathers and excellent value, especially in the large pack.
Author: J13MBR A great blade, sharp (agreed not as sharp as Feathers) and smooth. I also find these last as well as any. These are much better than Derbys in my opinion and I suspect would work well with most razors and faces. I keep a few in my washbag for travelling as performance/cost is superb.
Author: Eric Maurey First, I would like to say that this blade is quite soft. I use it with a merkur 37G which is very aggressive and I never had cut. The blade slides very well on your face and I would recommend it for newcomers because the shave are really comfortable.
Author: Peter Edwards These blades did the trick. Felt nice and smooth and a good close shave in my usual 3 passes. Paired them with my Muhle R89. Whilst I've still a few other brands to work through, these could well be a blade I'll keep coming back to.
Author: Mark Woodcock I found these blades very sharp and smooth and they give me a very close,comfortable shave in both my Merkur Future and 39C Slant Bar. They also last longer than other blades and I get a weeks shaving out of one of these making them good value, Overall an excellent everyday blade.
Author: Stephen McCartan Poor blade,not recommended for those with thicker stubble,left me with ingrowing hairs.
Author: Chris S I thoroughly recommend these affordable blades for beginners to DE shaving. They are forgiving of errors and give a close enough shave to learn with. Personally I find that these blades last slightly longer than most other blades, but that's just me. I do recommend switching to Feather's once your technique is solid.
Author: Robin Hughes Sharp and long lasting these blades are good. Shave shack are selling these at very good price for the quality of the blade.
Author: Ian Cryer I am really impressed with these blades. I got a couple in a sample pack, and when used in my Merkur Slant, I think I prefer them to the feathers. They are very sharp, but appear to be softer on the skin. I haven't nicked myself at all yet. Overall a very smooth comfortable shave. Very pleased.
Author: Luke Stanwick These blades will be at the top of my list of recommendations.
I have sensitive skin coupled with extremely thick coarse facial hair, which make it hard for me to get a good shave without getting either, shaving rash or slicing my face to pieces.
These blades make that possible, my shaving rash has gone and i get a perfect shave each time. Amazing
Author: Neil Goodhead After so many recommendations I just had to give them a go. So glad I did, these give a a very smooth shave with no dragging, pulling or nicks - a very smooth shave and highly recommended. I have found my blade!
Author: fraser wilson ([email protected]) after using Derbys with medium success and loving feather blades. I decided tom give the astras a go. Very surprised with the smoothness of the shave. My hair is dark and coarse so needs a sharp blade to cause little irritation. Give them a try what have you got to lose?
