So to start out my current favorite blade has been the Gillette Plantinums, I believe made in Russia. I have always said if America makes just as good of a blade for a similar price I would switch. I have two of these blades now and I can honestly say I didn't expect much since it is not a platinum coated blade and I have found those are typically the best for my skin and give me the smoothest shave and just stainless blades have not. However these blades actually gave me a great shave and lasted 4 to 5 shaves easily. Now the one reason I took the star away is cost. If I purchase 120 AccuForge blades I am paying about $0.34 per blade. My Gillette Platinum blades are $0.24 per blade, so the AccuForge blades are about 30% more and I am just not sure I can justify the cost increase. I also wonder how a blade here is more expensive than a blade that has to be imported, maybe because they produce many more blades and economies of scale make it so much cheaper to produce. So to sum it up a really great blade, but relatively pricey.

These are very good blades. They work great with my merica razor by Yates Precision. I get a very close bbs shave and had one of my best shaves with these blades highly recommend it. They’re very smooth blades and sometimes you don’t even feel if theirs a blade in the razor. They are great for beginners and veterans. I also have sensitive neck and have pretty corse hair. The blade last around 4-5 shaves for me and it has to be in a medium/mild Aggression safety razor more of the medium side. If not it doesn’t really work for me if the safety razor is too mild aggression.

These work well and are made in this country. I will buy again.

Now I can't compare these with the Personna Med Prep razors that Accuforge replaced because I never tried the "blue labels". What I can tell you is that Accuforge makes a quality razor blade that cuts smooth and can handle any shaving task. It is a quality blade that doesn't need a well known proven name to stand behind.
