Not for me


Review by Justin All my reviews  (3)
Overall Rating
This might just be due to my facial hair, or not shaving often enough, but I didn't find these blades to be all that smooth. Even straight out of the pack, they tend to grab the hair as I slide the blade across my face. Personna's are a superior blade IMHO.

Average blade, but short life


Review by gobland All my reviews  (6)

I rated these about as good as the Derby, but where I could get eight shaves per blade with them, the Astra only last me five uses before starting to pull uncomfortably at the longer whiskers. Still good value, however.

My favourite blades


Review by Anthony All my reviews  (5)
Overall Rating
I received these as part of the sample pack. I've now used up all the sample pack blades and have just ordered 100 Astra blades, as they were my clear favourite. Sharp, but forgiving - I've never nicked myself with Astras. They keep their edge for several days and always give a comfortable, close shave. The Personna and Merkur blades are just about as good, but the Astras beat them and are a good price. The Feather blades are too sharp for my shaving style (nicks every time) and the Derby blades are poor in comparison (I threw away the last 2 Derby blades - couldn't stand them).

The sweet spot.


Review by Stonie All my reviews  (15)

For me these blades are in a sweet spot. very smooth without being overly sharp. Far more forgiving than feather blades and at a price point that makes sense. The only negative is that they dull quickly for me. Give these a go! (used with badger and TOBS).

It's important to try different blades - Everybody's face and beard are different. As are razors. Different blades will perform differently in different razors.
For me however, these Astras have been the best so far.
While some of the blades available are sharper, they were not as comfortable, and in my view some lose their edge quickly.
The Astras are sharp enough, but very comfortable and lasting.
I'd recommend these to beginners.
My previous favourite were the Derbys, but they weren't as consistently good as the Astras.
(Every so often I'd find a dud derby - but at approx 25c each I didn't really care!)

A great blade


Review by Chris All my reviews  (0)

Superb results and the only blade I've found that is still good after the 4th shave - in fact day 4 is as good as day 1. Given their economical pricing and great results these have become my preferred blade.

Fantastic


Review by Phil of Perth All my reviews  (0)

What a difference! These are great blades. As a lot of the reviews have said before they don't seem as sharp as the Feathers but don't really need to be. They are notch or two above the Derbys in sharpness but for my skin (somewhat sensitive) they are amazingly comfortable. Going from Merkurs to these was a relief. I am using an Edwin Jagger razor which seems to love this blade.

Since first starting to shave with a DE razor, I have used feather, derby & astra. So far for me personally, Astra has been the worst, blades seem to either be not as sharp, or lose their sharpness quickly.

Good blades. Need to try them for yourself.


Review by Josh All my reviews  (0)

In terms of sharpness, I'd put them between Derby and Feather. But the only way to know if they'll work for you is to try them yourself.

Great blades


Review by Logan All my reviews  (0)

So far so good with these blades. They seem to be in between Derby Extras and Feathers in terms of sharpness. Gave a smoother result than the Derby without any nicks or cuts. I would definitely recommend these for DE newcomers to try.

I was really impressed with how gentle these razors were on my skin. Even better than the Merkur.

Similar to the Treat blades for me. Medium sharpness, forgiving blade and great value too. I like the Personna's better now but well worth trying these, u may really like them.

A much more mild shave...


Review by Aussie All my reviews  (0)

With all blades, I think it is important to find the right shaving edge for the individuals face. Some prefer very sharp, while others prefer a smoother shave of a mild razor.

A nice mild shaver, but can provide great results on the right face.
