Astra Superior Platinum Double-Edged Safety Blades -- 5 Blade Pack

Love the razors - work very well - great investment

Three 5-pack blades for $3/each was a great value compared to other offerings on the site. Folks seemed to be pleased with them so thought I would give them a try. I am a newbie at safety razor shaving, so I do not have anything to compare to.

I have probably tried around 15 DE blades and these are by far my favorite. Like someone mentioned in a previous review they are great for beginners. I have gone through hundreds of these blades and the quality from blade to blade is VERY consistent. They do not provide the absolute closest shave but IMO they provide the most irritation free shave and that is why they are my go to blade. I generally get around 4 or 5 shaves per blade give or take a shave. If you go for a 6th shave maybe even 7th shave there is no irritation but the shave is definitely not as close. Overall my favorite go to blade. Similar to Personna's but I think the shave is smoother, closer, and slightly more irritation free.

Decent Blade. Nothing especially great, nor nothing terrible to say about it. Great for someone new to DE, not the sharpest blade out there.
