I have been disenchanted with the high tech multi-blade shaving heads, mainly because they are too pricey. I never use disposables because they never seem to last more than one shave and don't work well for me anyway. I never got a good shave from an electric razor. I remember that my Dad used a double edge safety razor so I figured I would see how well they worked and do a kind of cost/benefit analysis. I started with the Van der Hagen set from Target and the blades were awful. I found out that not all DE blades are created equal and just because they were made in Solingen, City of Blades, that does not make them good. I read a couple of reviews and the Feather blades were mentioned in a couple as very good. I took a chance and was pleasantly surprised on my first shave. I can only get about 5 shaves before they start to dull noticeably but the value is there and the shave is nice and close.

Very sharp, no razor burn.

I've tried a half dozen different brands of blades, but nothing comes 'close' to the shave I get from these!

Started using this blade when I returned to wet shaving. As long as you let the razor do the work, all is well; rush or muscle the thing and it may cost you - these blades are sharp...all considered, it is a solid piece of technology that does what it is supposed to do - provides a great shave; dare I say BBS? Although I will try other blades, this gem stays in my rotation.
