My experience doesn’t reflect what others have said about these blades. Straight out of the package I noticed a mismatched grind angle between the two top edges I initially thought was a poor blade alignment by me. The shave tugged a bit and required a third pass. I’ll stick with feather and Astra as my go tos.

Smooth blade that's fairly sharp. Paired with an efficient razor and you're in for a great shave. One pass with these blades gives me near BBS results.

Great with a slant bar razor. Sharp and smooth for sensitive skin. One blade lasts about 4-5 BBS shaves One of my new favorites!

These blades are sharp yet smooth for my face and beard. Even in a problem area such as under the chin, the blade delivers a consistently high-quality shave. I have ordered and received 100 blades as Rapira Platinum Lux is one of the blades in my daily rotation. Definitely recommended to give this blade a try.
