Astra Superior Premium Platinum Double Edge Safety Razor Blades, 5 Count (Pack of 3)

I dug out the 60 year old Gilette razor and needed some blades. If you are older than 55, you remember when 'safety razor blades' were how you shaved- and a styptic pencil (and tissue) was always nearby for that expected nick. Those razors gave you a really close shave- that even today's 5 blade razors can't duplicate. So I needed blades for the gilette and chose these. They fit perfectly and the design is old school. The quality appeared good but the test is on your face. I used Castile soap, and it made the blade comfortable to use, and the shave was real close. Be careful; they are SHARP. They are a good value and the performance was excellent. Go slow when you shave- they are SHARP. Got five (5) fine shaves with it before I replaced the blade. Only criticism is that they come in a box and not in a plastic carrier that you can stick the used blades into to dispose of safely. Small thing..but in those old days wher men used a "safety razor" such plastic carriers were the standard. Times change. If you are into a really close shave, with a very SHARP blade, you found it here. Recommended.

Over the past 20 plus yrs of wet shaving, there aren't many de blades out there I haven't tried. Time and time again I come back to these Astra blades. In my shave den I've got a dozen or so de razors, these Astra blades offer a great, smooth, close & very comfortable shave, no matter which razor I load up. Try a pack of 5 blades in your de razor, you will not be disappointed!

Use these along with Feathers and they are a great blade. Super sharp and I get three shaves out of them. Five stars!

so far only used 1 blade but am satisfied with its performance reasonable price for quantity

Its sharp but it gave me razor bumps

I bought this because I was traveling and forgot to bring my blades for my king c gillette safety razor so I ordered some blades I saw the astra platinum blades which I used in the past but it gave me a good shave but with the king c gillette safety razor it work incredible I shaved in the shower and it cut my hair like butter which I was very surprised how good it was I use gillette platinum which is my favorite blade and my go to blade to use but if there isn’t any to but the astra platinum is a good replacement to shave but it may shave me once or twice while gillette platinum can give me 2 to 3 or even 4 shaves out of it but these blades cost Pennies this pack for fifteen blades for 4.06 dollars for me so that’s 0.08 cents per blade on this deal which is incredible and gives a smooth shave easy. I recommended it to buy it and if astra gives me one or two shaves then it’s worth it most of these blades can get the max 5 uses but most don’t get that sharp and few can be dull but that’s ok get another one the next one should be better just get a good safety razor don’t get a cheap one the king c gillette is on the inexpensive side for 30 dollars which is inexpensive most safety razors are hundreds or more for the vest ones or vintage ones but king c gillette safety razor gives a mild and smooth shave with the right blade so these astras blades or really good if you are unsure get a sample pack that has two blades samples of astra but a pack of blades cost around a dollar or two so try it.

Incredible razors for any beginning using a safety razor.

After using various razor blades for decades these are not anything special. They last just as long as any other brand. I tried them thinking they were different to the last brand and found them the same but since I bought them at a smaller pack per price, I ended up paying more than if I bought a multi pack of 25.

Peak sharp blades very good quality and gets the job done.

Yerli bir marka görürseniz zaten uzak durun ama onun haricinde kullandığım paripa (tam adı böyle değil) markasını da geride bıraktı. Tahrişi en aza indirdi. Körelme süresi de epey uzun diyebilirim.

Lame tranchante mais douce

these last forever and are so cheap. Once you buy a proper safety razor these will last you a lifetime (or a very long time - just buy a whole load) and they're good quality, sharp, durable, easy to use.

Useful, sharp, cost efficient, i dont use them for shaving- just some household stuff, the blades are all the same and the stainless steel is of amazing quality. No complaints here.
