I've used double edge razors for a couple of years now. I needed some new blades (the last Astra ones last 2 years) and stumbled on these. I didn't even notice they also included the handle and case as well so was surprised when that turned up too. I use an Edwin Jagger handle but the included one is worth a go considering the deal is so cheap.
I only shave twice per week and because the blades are so cheap I tend to only use each once. For less than a fiver these will last me a year.
Double edge shaving takes a bit of getting used to, everyone seems to recommend a decent brush and shaving soap but personally I use King Of Shaves oil first and then use Gillette gel on top. A really good shave and peanuts cost.
If you've ever wondered about switching from the expensive Mach 3 blades etc this is cheaper as those proverbial chips.

really good price especially for beginners but poor blades, voted hot but these blades could put you off for life, spend a bit more and use Astra's they're a good balance between cost and quality.

Currently using Feather blades but have just run out , where is the best place to get 100 blades from , the astra ones have great reviews so willing to go for those .... if someone could point me in the right direction for cheap blades it'd be appreciated !
Great spot by the way , this got a lot of heat a few years back at around £15 so this should get rather hot in here !!

I bought 100 Astra's from Ebay, I just made sure they where being delivered from England as a lot of the adverts are posted from abroad. 100 blades £8.90 delivered.
I know feathers are known to be be sharpest (and most unforgiving if you get sloppy!) but from experience im currently using Gillette 7 o'clock sharp edge (yellows) and they are easily as sharp as feathers, those who use DE blades will know its not always about sharpness but for those of us with titanium coated stubble we need sharp, Astra SPs for me just pulled :smiley:

Never used this type of razor before but worth a punt at that price.

Just recently moved over to double edge razors and saved a fortune so far as the blades are relatively cheap and last quite a while before changing

Ordered this about 3 weeks ago at £4.90. Took three weeks to arrive but wasn't in a hurry. Razor doesn't feel too sturdy but will do for the overnight bag.
Had these blades (among others) before and just finishing up the last of my Feathers atm. Not much to choose between the two IMO.
Anyone else get the case where one blade every now and then lasts a fraction of the time the rest do? I've had this with every blade I've tried.

I experience the odd dull blade which dies off quicker or just isn't as smooth from the off. Think its just a small percentage the manufacturers accept :smiley:
