My favorite Blades-
1Wilkinson Sword Classic ( Germany made)- All around mild and forgiving
2 Muhle ( Germany made)- All around good.
3 Astra Platnium ( Russia or India).Pound for Pound great value. All around good
4 Merkur Blades ( Czech made)- Last only 1 shave.
5 Rockwell Blades ( China)- Too sharp for the sensitive skin folks.
+++++++++++++++++
My Current Collection of safety razors-Ranked
+++++++++++++++++
1 Rockwell 6c ( mild to medium, interchangeable plates)
2 Merkur 34c ( mild)
3 Muhle R89 Twisty ( midddle)
4 Mekur Futr ( agressive)- I fear the Futr. lol
+++++++++++++++
Advice——Go out and buy a Merkur 34c ( Made in Germany) and buy a Rockwell 6c ( Made in China) There is no reason to buy any other model.
After buying those 2 safety razors…splurge and buy a Rockwell 6S ( Made in USA). My Rockwell 6S is currently in the post and I am eager to use it with Astra blades.
Just to give you some context, I have the dreaded combination of a very coarse beard with sensitive skin, so multiple passes are risking a lot of irritation and ingrown hairs. I first used these in a Merkur 34C and found them to be less tuggy with a more consistent sharpness than GSBs, but they unfortunately did not make the HD a more efficient shaver for me. I've since switched to a Parker 87R with a bit more blade exposure, and that, I feel, is what brought out the best qualities of these blades. I can consistently achieve two pass DFS's (or Damn Fine Shaves) with the Astra SP and the Parker with virtually no irritation whatsoever. They slice through my heavy/coarse beard with ease and plenty of audible feedback, and I can get about three, maybe four shaves from them before I feel like they're not cutting as well as they did when new. Of course, YMMV based on your facial hair type and shaving techniques. I highly, highly recommend pairing them with a razor that has more blade exposure to get the most out of them, however. (Edit, 4/25/18: Many shaves later, I'm still swearing by these blades. Remember when I said they have a consistent sharpness? That's what keeps me coming back to Astra SP. I LIKE that these blades start out at a decent sharpness which SLOWLY and predictably changes over time without requiring you to modify your technique. No break-in period like GSB or Pol Silver, just smooth, consistent shave after shave without any surprises, and you'll know when it's time to replace the blade long before it feels like a dull steak knife; alum blocks never lie.)
The only caution I have to offer is that while these blades seem to be the perfect trifecta of sharpness, longevity, and smoothness, that smoothness can and will lull you into a false sense of security if you're not careful, as I learned much to my dismay. I rushed through one of my shaves one day and got rewarded for my impatience with some painful nicks and weepers that made me yelp loudly. Make no mistake: These blades are wickedly sharp, and it's not unheard of for them to be referred to as a poor man's Feather on various shaving forums.
At the risk of sounding like a fanboy, I pretty much consider these my grail blade. They work exceptionally well for me and give me comfortable, consistent and EFFICIENT shaves with minimal irritation in my Parker TTO. My advice to you would be to get a smaller pack of these to try out, see if they work well for you, and then spring for the 100 count pack. You won't save as much in the short term, but if they end up not being what you expected, you won't have a bunch of razor blades to give away or throw out. Then again, I'll happily accept any unwanted blades still sealed in their original cartons/tucks and dispose of them for you free of charge. Just pay shipping and handling! :P
Quality and Durability:
One of the most notable qualities of Astra Platinum blades is their exceptional build quality. They work so well and for a very long time. We do not have to buy blades often at all because so many come in one pack.
Sharpness and Precision:
Astra Platinum blades excel in delivering a close and precise shave, thanks to their sharp edges and precision-engineered design. My husband has thick hair that he has tried to use other razors for, but nothing has gotten him a clean shave like these.
Value for Money:
One of the most appealing aspects of Astra Platinum blades is their excellent value for money. Each pack comes with a generous supply of blades, which can last for an extended period, often up to a year depending on usage frequency. This makes them a cost-effective option for individuals seeking high-quality shaving performance without breaking the bank. Additionally, the longevity of these blades further enhances their value proposition, making them a wise investment for long-term use.
I've seen some comments regarding how to determine which side was used or how often the blade should be changed. Obviously if you have a rough shave, it's probably time to replace. But some wisdom from my grandfather: draw a line down the center of your face (or body, if you're using it for other parts) and every time you cross the line flip the razor. You'll get roughly the same wear on both sides. Pop in a new blade as needed, for me 1-2 times per week.
