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
