Dorco Platinum HQ (Red) Double Edge (DE) Blades

Surprised with how these shaved. no pulling or tugging, but they definitely aren’t persona blue sharp.

I was surprised at how well these blades performed. Not my favorite ones by far, however, I keep these with my Feather Popular razor that I use as a travel set.

I've used a lot of different blades over the years and have come to realize blade reviews are extremely subjective. I can only add my two cents here in hopes it helps someone else that has hair and skin like my own. I have sensitive skin so I look for a blade that is a combination of sharp and smooth. I would compare these blades to polsilver, shark super chrome and gillette 7 o'clock super stainless. The only reason I give them 4 stars, is for me I only get one good shave out of them. It's a really really smooth shave though so I would def reorder them.

I received these as part of the Sampler set and they were so bad - rough, uneven, dull, that I changed to a new blade after a shave and a half because they were so bad. They were so rough, that I even went back to the Lord blades that I hate to finish a shave. Perhaps I received a bad batch, but these were the worst blades I have ever used.

I've read good reviews on Dorco blades, but for me these were fairly mild, and didn't perform as well as I hoped. For guys with light beards and tender skin, these probably would work fine.

I've only shaved with the Dorco blades a couple of times, but both times - once using the plastic Dorco razor and once using my Feather AS-DS2 - the shave was pretty awesome. These are great blades. I wear a beard so the only shaving I do is mostly my neck; a very sensitive area. These blades are super smooth and just sharp enough for a close shave. I think it is of note that after shaving with both razors, the application of aftershave resulted in virtually no burning at all. Close, gentle shave! It could hardly get better than that! I can't speak to the durability yet.

The toughest place to get a damn fine shave or a baby butt smooth shave is my neck, especially near the corner of my jaw right below my ear lobes. I tried a lot of different blade samplers and I just couldn't find a blade that would get the job done without hacking up my neck. I tried these guys out and they work great, I've been using them ever since! They aren't incredibly sharp, but if you follow the basic fundamentals of wet shaving, you can easily achieve a nice bbs shave. Great price too! Sometimes I wish they were just a tiny bit sharper though...
