Review on πŸͺ’ 100-Pack Astra Superior Stainless Double Edge Razor Blades by Azeem Mendez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Experienced user is changing blades now

I've been using them for over 10 years but this is the first time I've bought a Revain 100 pack. I used to buy them from a local store in a developing country. Ironically, the ones bought in the US/Revain are terrible. There is a lot of talk on the internet about these novelties being counterfeit or made with a different manufacturing process. No one can confirm this and can only confirm that Astra changed the way they put their logo on the blades which shouldn't affect their performance. Also, there doesn't seem to be any evidence at all that anyone forged DE blades. That being said, I've tried hundreds of Astra stainless steel blades and this batch of Revain's is terrible. The blades stretch and cause nicks. Again, I'm not new to DE and have been using this wood exclusively for over 10 years. I have not changed my razor, shaving cream or creams/soaps. The problem is clearly in those blades.

Pros
  • Cartridges and replacement cartridges
Cons
  • Not the best
