super blunt


Review by Daniel All my reviews  (11)
Overall Rating
I read all the reviews about these being too blunt but just guessed the reviewers were just being a bit picky, that is until I tried these blades. WOW are they blunt, I have a pretty thick rough beard so I will only do 1 shave per blade even with the best and sharpest blade. I found these to be so blunt its not funny, shaving with them was the same as shaving with one of those 5 blades you've used a few times. I can best sum it up by say, I could feel it working, and that is not somthing you want, you want the blade to just glide over you face. Thank's to the sample pack of blades I got I know I won't being buying these again!

Reasonable blade

I managed an average eight shaves per blade (light beard) and rated them 4 out of 5 on average. Pretty good for the price.

Average at best


Review by Stonie All my reviews  (15)

Derby really are nothing special... middle of the road... pedestrian... vanilla...
Maybe give them a try for a comparison.. these might suit some people but I really cant see how, Since they are blunt and rough compared to most other blades.
I have a reasonably thick beard, maybe suits lighter beards? I really don't know but can't recommend these blades in my experience.

Ok, but not great


Review by Anthony All my reviews  (5)

I received a pack of Derby blades as part of the sampler pack. Of the 5 brands supplied I'd date them as equal worst. They have a tendency to drag and caused some irritation instead of cutting cleanly. I used 3 of the 5 blades supplied and threw the other 2 away. Not recommended, but it might depend on what razor you use.

They're a win for me


Review by Grumpy Typewriter All my reviews  (1)

They're a win for me. I like them, they suit my face with no irritation and without making a blood bath out of my face. I started with the sample pack, chucked a few more in the mix and these were one of the ones which came out on top.

Decent, not a favourite


Review by James
Overall Rating
Not sharp enough for me, I found them blunt and irritating, unless I was willing to settle for sub-optimal results. That said, they do *work*, and are miles better than going back to cartridges. If they were in the supermarket and I needed blades I'd buy them, but they're probably about 5th choice for me - for *my* face, razor, technique, and prep. YMMV.

Got these as part of the sample pack and were easily the worst performing. The seemed to irritate my face and was left with a fair bit of 'collateral damage' on my face afterwards. Overall shave was Ok but I felt like I was rolling the dice everytime, buy these if that is your thing...

gentle, but they aren't aggressive


Review by Craig All my reviews  (0)

These blades wont make your face hurt, they are gentle, but they aren't aggressive enough to get a really close shave, at least in my experience anyway. The personas gave me a much more pleasant shaving experience in the end.

Rather good

These are the first blades tried in my DE journey, and they gave great results. They did seem to pull/grab the hair a little for me, but gave an acceptably smooth result with a little patience.

I didn't like these at all!


Review by Bryan All my reviews  (0)

I received a pack of Derby blades as part of the "sampler pack" but I wasn't very impressed. It wasn't that they were blunt - they cut the whiskers well enough but for some reason they really hung on to/dragged across my skin which resulted in a terrible rash each time I used one. I endured two blades then threw the rest of the pack away.

A much more mild shave...


Review by Aussie All my reviews  (0)
Overall Rating
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.

This is a much milder blade, but can be impressive on the right face.

So far, I cant complain about these blades. They have given me an 'as good as' shave as the feather.

Give them a try for yourself! :)

A Good Blade


Review by Ian All my reviews  (43)
Overall Rating
Many people will use this blade as their "reference" blade and is probably the first blade many people use. For me they're not that good, they leave me with a few weepers ( especially ATG ). Don't forget you have to try different blades as different blades work in different ways for different people in different razors. Different enough ???
This might just be your blade so definitely worth a try. Highly regarded blade by many.

Dragging


Review by Ben All my reviews  (11)

Blades will always differ person to person, but these were a little blunt for me and dragged the hair (admittedly I have thick hair), so I wont be buying these again

I recently went back to using double edge blades prompted by the ridiculously high prices of the Fusion and Mach3 cartridges. I am so glad I did! Not only are these blades a mere fraction of the price, they give a much better shave!
