Review on πŸͺ’ Astra Superior Platinum Double Edge Razor Blades - Pack of 20 by Eric Teodoro

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Razor blades again

Shaved with DE blades as a kid for a daily shave, then spent the rest of his life between an electric razor and a weekend/special occasion razor. to visions of his car - Zhiguli. Doesn't exactly excite the consumer. Blades in my past decades were made in either the USA or England. None of them were better than a few shaves and then a quick blunt. I recently got an old Schick injector, but it's pretty aggressive and I'll be using it more often in the future. Stumbled across an old Schick Krona and some Wilkinson blades - did fine but only for a shave or 2. Read good things about the Astra and got some - I'm impressed. 3 shaves of 3 passes each and they hold the sharpness more than enough for the forthcoming 4th or maybe more. Smooth, without burns and irritation. I have other blades to try but others will use my Astra razors as a basis for comparison.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Almost everything is here
