Review on πŸͺ’ Astra Superior Platinum Double Edge Razor Blades - 30 Ct: Perfect for a Smooth and Comfortable Shave by Barbara Simmons

Revainrating 5 out of 5

paper thin. Are those really aster leaves?

Pretty disappointing razors, they don't look even remotely like the pictures you see on them. The Astra logo, more or less similar to the one on the box. The blades are very thin and resemble paper. Not very suitable for a close shave and a shave without tension. I usually use a feather for shaving and was looking for something smoother without sacrificing sharpness. They certainly don't offer a close shave and aren't as sharp as mentioned here. You cannot get a comfortable and close shave with such a thin blade. It took a little work and several passes to shave. I also had to apply a little more pressure than usual to get the job done. There was a scratchy sensation, a bit of tugging and touching, and by no means a comfortable shave. I'm not sure if they changed the process, if these are indeed original Astra blades they must have lowered the cost everywhere. The overall look is cheap, inferior sheets flapping in the wind. I'll try again and see how they hold up for a second shave. If they fail, they go to emergency supplies. EDIT: No way.

Pros
  • Shaving and hair removal
Cons
  • For old razors
