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

Came in the manufacturers box, and all accounted for. Proctor & Gamble seems to be the distributor for Astra (one of the better-known Russian brands), these days. There can be small differences in package artwork, depending on vintage, provenance, and whatnot. So, dont panic. The important thing is that the blades are good. What I expect from Astra. Printing on the blades is solid (again, this varies; Ive elsewhere had some pretty faded Astra blades that were still good). Razor blades are a personal thing. A lot depends on your beard (if youre XY), skin type, shave soap, razor, local water, shaving style, offerings made to shower spiders, phase of moon, etc. That said, Astras are very nice blades, and worth a try. The packaging used for Amazons trans-shipment was pretty dodgy: just a bunch of blade packs dumped into a thin, half-sealed cardboard box with some other stuff, no padding. Or somebody in-between thought my shampoo was nitroglycerine. This doesnt seem to be a seller issue. Maybe just a bad day on the line. Anyway, the seller seems solid, which is what you probably want to know.

My wife spends 5x’s what these cost. She isn’t the bearded lady, yet. Get a good handle and you’re set. Clean shave, holds an edge.

I have used much more expensive blades that didn’t work as well. Holds an edge for 3-4 shaves (full face and head) and isn’t too aggressive. Blades are a pretty subjective rating...but these work fine for me.

It came fast and just exaclly as descride

I went back to the old safety razon because I was tired of Shick/Gillette price gouging on their razon blades. I have medium density whiskers and I get four shaves per blade simply by cleaning , drying and flipping the blade over after each use. The last batch of 100 blades lasted close to years - a very, very good bargain at $20.00/box. I highly recommend this product.

Very sharp! Depending on your razor they can be a bit harsh. I have the Merkur classic handle and these are on the edge of too intense. I like it that way though. Good smooth shave, at least six shaves per blade in my experience.

These blades are amazing for the price. Nothing has beaten them for me so far. Sharp, and stays sharp for about 3-4 shaves. The perfect razor blade

Smooth - doesnt irritate the skin yet pretty sharp. Good for heavy beards. Lasts 2-3 shaves.

I have a tough beard, I get ingrown hairs like most people grow regular facial hair when I use a cartridge razor. I have to shave my face no less than 3 times with these blades to get a great clean shave but Im not complaining because I love the way my face feels afterwards. Ill definitely try the feather blades next but only a small pack because theyre way more expensive and I dont know how bad they will cut my face since my beard is so tough it might be better at shaving straight through it or it might struggle and cut me a lot. I bought 100 of these and I really feel like that was good value. I want to punch myself in the face thinking about all of the money I spent on Gillette and Schick razor cartridges that never gave me the perfect kind of shave that my Merkur and Astra blades give me.

I dont know what theyre talking about super sharp. I got maybe three shaves out of a blade, and it wasnt super sharp to begin with. And that was shaving my bald head.
