These blades just were not sharp enough for me, and at one point I felt that an old teaspoon would have shaved as well as these. My 3 pass shave left me raw and irritated, which I don't get with a sharper blade. I didn't have any nicks or weepers, but I didn't do any clean-ups because I'd had enough. Like they say, 'Your Mileage May Vary'. Mine did.

When I found Razor Emporium I tried the sample pack of various blades. That was the first time I realized "razor blades" have different levels of sharpness. In the sample pack I found several blades that were too sharp -- those literally scraped skin off my face. I also found some that just did not provide the close shave I like. Then I found the Lord Super blades. For me, they provide that right combination: They shave close without scraping off the skin. They offer exactly what the headline says, a great, comfortable shave.

The Lord stainless blades offer a great Price Quality Ratio (PQR) or bang for your buck. They are the equal of the Gillette Bleu blades I buy in Europe at a much higher cost. I'll happily keep buying the Lord blades.
