Extra Double Edge Razor Blades, 100 Count

These are great blades and the price can't be beat. They are made in Turkey from Swedish steel, quality made and long lasting steel. I'm of the school of thought that there are different blades for different beards and in my 42 years of shaving I've proved this to myself over and over again...many a blood bath behind me: In my opinion Murkur and Feather are for men with heavy beards, British made Wilkinson Sword for medium or light and so is Derby Blades. I have a medium beard and get a smooth, comfortable shave with no razor burn or cuts every time. The Swedish steel is more than sharp enough for 6 - 8 shaves; 10 if I flip the blade over, with no drag or burn. The blades are a little heavier than Murkur and Feather so are more stable in the razor and stay firm. Again; just my opinion, but 'surgical steel blades' as great as they are are not for every face. My dad and several friends from the past that had to shave twice a day love the Murkur's and Feather's...All I did was end up looking like I lost a fight with a Wearing Blender. Too sharp for me. ALSO: The Wilkinson Sword blades are now made in Germany and are like the Murkur's: Scalpel sharp. Used to love them and now can't stand them. But if you have a heavy beard they might be the blade for you. These Derby's should work for men with heavy beards if you use the 3 - 4 way shave every day or don't need a "baby skin close shave" all the time. Again: just my opinion. My dad used Gillette Blue Blades in the 50's and 60's and loved them to death on his Gorilla beard...I thought they were dull as hell and hated them...everyone is different (he switched to Murkur in the 60's too). Maybe if enough men switch back to the safety razor we'll get good American made blades again (Schick made some damned good double edged blades too!) but for now we have to buy foreign and yes I know that Persona still make double edged blades in the USA and I wouldn't shave my ex-wife with them...maybe...they are dull, uneven, a blood bath waiting to happen. You won't be disappointed in these blades!

Super sharp blades make for a smooth and refreshing face, and they are very affordable. Can’t ask for more. I usually get 3-4 shaves before I change the blade.

I kept reading mixed reviews about Derby blades, but the ultimate decision maker was that the 5 pack doubled as a razor disposal. I really couldn't justify spending money on the Feather brand piece of plastic that is literally going in the trash when it gets full. I didn't want to get a pill bottle or some other random piece of kitchenware to dispose of my blades and take up space in the bathroom. I like saving money when I can but C'mon, I'm not in college anymore, no excuses for bad taste. I have a beard and shave and trim weekly to keep it maintained, so I'm not going over my full face. I shave my cheeks, under my lip, tidy up the ends of my mustache, and clean up my neck beard line. I use a closed comb Merkur because I want a mild shave since the hair that's being shaved is fairly short. The Derby blades are a great combo for my 34C and my weekly shave needs. I do about 2 passes and some fine tuning, and I'm good to go. This is just for me though, other people's faces and bodies will have different needs than mine. I can't speak for people who have thicker beards, as mine is thin and I shave often. This works out great for me because the blade isn't as sharp as a Feather, but I don't need my blade to be that sharp. It all depends on your needs and how often you shave a week. I might go through one or two blades a month, so in a years time I'll have used anywhere from 12-24 blades in a single year. A pack of 12 Gillette blades cost around $35. I can get 5-6 shaves out of those before I start getting irritation and the blade becomes dull. I find that it's easier to sculpt my beard lines much better with a safety razor as opposed to having 5 blades try to clean it up. It just makes more financial sense to shave with these blades and a safety razor. To sum it up, these blades are a terrific value. I get a closer shave with my safety razor, and no irritation. It's a win win.

Good blades that perform well for me. Not the sharpest out there, but a good solid blade in my opinion. Excellent value and a fairly comfortable blade overall.

While I hear that getting one of the variety blade packs is best for a new safety-razor shaver, this deal was too good to pass up so I had to order it. These blades are incredibly sharp. They come in a big green thin cardboard box and there's 20 little plastic boxes inside with 5 razors each. On other blade-holders you get a slot on the bottom to put your old blades when they get dull, that is not the case here. The bottom is solid and instead you have to open the little flapdoor in order to take out AND put in (old) blades. There are 2 compartments in the main compartment, one for new, one for old. That's not an issue, just saying how these are different from other blades I have used. These blades are incredibly sharp, and I would definitely say that they are sharper than the Sharks that came with my safety razor when I bought it. The blades are great. The Arko soap is the main draw for me to this deal. I thought it would be terrible and messy. It's not. It's honestly kind of amazing to rip a little bit of the foil off one end, wet your face, wet the stick, rub the stick on your face and get no lather or way of knowing you have soap on your face whatsoever, and then take your wet brush and smother your face with it and all of a suddenly lather magically forms on your face and brush, enough for like 3 passes. A little goes a long way and its really great but you need to watch the moisture content of your brush as you are building the lather right on your face and there's no way of knowing its too wet until it starts dripping all over your sink off your face. Everyone in my household loves the smell (except the dog and the cats who ran away). It's honestly really strong, but not unpleasant. It kind of smells like that blue toiletbowl cleaner that they always doublewrap at the grocery store because the stuff is so caustic. It smells like that except more fresh and manly like musky Dove soap I guess. Let the stick dry when you're done, and don't be messy and it wont fall apart. It's honestly not that easy to ruin and even if you do it's cheap. I read some people smash it into a bowl and use it like a traditional shave soap. I don't get why you would do that when the stickform is so convenient. NO BOWL NO MUG just the stick and your brush. After using Arko I kind of feel that building lather in a mug is a waste of time. I wish Proraso had a shave-stick. With as cheap as the blades are, you can use a fresh blade every time you shave. With as cheap and great as the Arko is, you don't have to waste money trying other fancy shaving soaps and getting a sub-par shave. Arko, and C.O. Bigelow and these blades are wonderful. You don't need anything else.

As good a blade as any that are out there! They shave smoothly.

These razor blades are wonderful. They are sharp, and they are easy to handle safely. This package is designed to “dispense” smaller packages of 5 blades, with each blade wrapped in paper; this makes it easy to handle the blades before you place them in your razor. The 5-blade package includes a slot for you to place the used blades, which further improves safe handling. Since the blades are really sharp, they don’t irritate the skin. In my experience, it’s possible to get more than one close, comfortable shave from each blade. But don’t push that - after two, three shaves at most, change blades for comfort and healthy skin. I have not seen these blades rust at all. They are stainless steel, and while some stainless alloys can rust, between the alloy and coatings on these blades, you’re not likely to see any rust in normal use. I think these are a great choice for those of us who use safety razors instead of high-waste, expensive, disposable “8-blades for closeness” razor cartridges. They’re better for your skin, better for the environment, and better for your wallet.

As a kid growing up, my father used a safety razor and insisted, even if it meant going to several stores, that we purchased Gillette or Wilkinson blades. Now that I have switched to using one myself, I understand why. The price, one hundred blades for around 8 dollars is increadably cheap but for me, I really only get one shave out of each blade. Not sure where they’re made, but if I had to guess, I’d say Turkey.I had the same issue with a different brand , also purchased on Amazon and made in China. Wish all products on Amazon disclosed country of origin as I try and buy American made products when given the choice and I’ve learned that buying razor blades on the “Cheap”) isn’t worth it. I see that most reviews for these blade were pretty good, but I guess I’m in the minority in saying, “ spend more money and get a good American, German blades for a great shave!

It's very good with my skin, I don't have skin irritation and had a very smooth shave. It's not sharp as Feathers blades but it's effective enough for me. It's good combo with R41 Safety razors for me.

Diese Derby Extra Rasierklingen (älteres Model, gibt ja auch schon die "new" Sorte) ist für mich die absolute lieblings Rasierklinge. Die "new" Sorte ist auch ok, aber die "ältere" Sorte ist mir noch ein bischen lieber. Habe sie auch letztes Jahr für meine Hochzeitsrasur benutzt. Für mich ene gutmütige Klinge, die auch mal den ein oder anderen kleinen Fehler / Ausrutscher verzeiht ohne gleich zu schneiden. Rasurergebniss gut. Rasurbrandt habe ich auch nicht. Der Preis super. Ich werde sie auf jeden Fall wieder kaufen und kann sie auch sehr gut weiter empfehlen. Aber ich weiß, nicht jeder Mann kommt mit jeder Klinge gleich gut klar. Haut, Barthaar, Rasierer, Seife usw. spielen eine entscheidende Rolle. Bei mir ist das so: Ich rasiere mich 2x - 3x je Woche mit meinem King C Rasierhobel. (Und natürlich der Derby Extra) Ich habe ein rot - dunkelbraun - rote Barthaare, nicht sehr dicht, und eine hellere Haut mit etwas Sommersprossen. Ich benutze meistens die Seifen Proraso Weiß oder von Tabac original. Ich bin mit dieser Kombination sehr zufrieden. Und werde das so beibehalten. Schöne Grüße aus dem Westerwald.

Pleasantly surprised by the quality. Took some time to get used to. Think I might get more shaves per blade than feather.

great blades

Ad stated blades are Swedish made but packaging states 'Made in Turkey'
