For the smoothest shave

This is the best blade on the market. Back in the seventies I use to use Wilkinson Sword and these easily eclipse them as a great blade. A longer lasting blades and a smooth shave - what more could a man want!

Awesome blade, but at a price


Review by gobland All my reviews  (6)

Excellent shave and long-lasting too. With a light beard, I get nearly nine shaves on average out of each blade in my Merkur HD. They stay feeling sharp for longer, only falling away significantly in performance towards the last couple of shaves. About five times the price of other blades, however.

The best for me but a harsh price


Review by Daniel All my reviews  (11)

I have tried all the blades now (with both soap and cream) and I have found these hands down are the best, they are super sharp and always seem to have the same quality from blade to blade. The sad thing is the price, as I can only use a blade once because of the roughness and thickness of my hair which blunts anything super fast. They aren't as sharp as feathers, which take too many upper layers of skin off with the hair resaulting in some irritation. No these are the best, try them if you haven't!

Good blades, there are better


Review by Anthony All my reviews  (5)

I received these in the sampler pack. On the whole they are OK - consistent in sharpness, not too sharp (like the Feathers) but sharp enough. They are, however, a little expensive when compared with the Astra blades, which are at least as good, if not better.

You get what you pay for with these blades


Review by simon All my reviews  (5)

Very consistently sharp and reliable blades. I use with a Merkur 39C Sledgehammer and the blades work beautifully with this razor. I have found that some of the other "sharp" blades ie. feather & personna can be quite inconsistent in cutting quality from blade to blade. The Merkur blades are pure German engineering quality.

Solid but expensive

I found the Merkur blades very forgiving and more than capable of getting the job done as such they are great blades for beginners, however they are relatively expensive and their quality doesn't match their price point.

OK, but a bit pricey...


Review by Roger All my reviews  (0)

Alright, in the context of savings made on cart blades, these are still cheap.

But I preferred the Derby's. They appear sharper and get an extra shave or two from them, and almost every other blade are cheaper than the Merkur's.

Always worth trying though, as these may be less aggressive than some blades out there.

I have tried a few different blades of late but must admit that these babies suit my skin perfectly. Used with the Merkur Classic razor these blades left my face smoother than the proverbial baby's behind.

Not so good with Edwin Jagger razor.

I found these blades harsh with my Edwin Jagger Chatsworth razor. They may be ok with Merkur razors but did not cut so well with the Jagger and left my face feeling a little aggravated.
