Great blades, these always end up on the top of wet shaving lists for the best razors, and even though there's always a warning that these are super sharp and that they're for more advanced users because they're aggressive, and I agree with that, they really aren't all that unwieldy in my opinion as long as you're careful. First two uses of these are incredibly sharp and give some of the smoothest shaves I've ever had while the third use was a bit more mild but still a quality shave. Use these with a mild razor if you're just getting into them, thankfully both of my razors are somewhat on the milder side, but I've heard that these can be pretty gnarly to use with more aggressive razors. For fun, do three passes with a new one of these and use a mentholated aftershave!

Other reviews have mentioned how sharp these blades are. I have to agree. Yesterday I had shave number five using a ROCKWELL 6S adjustable razor on No5 with this blade and it was as good as shave number one. In fact the first shave was so sharp I actually nicked myself several times which is something I never do with other blades I have tried. I've found that the trick is to let the weight of the razor do the work with this blade together with a good quality shaving soap/cream. Nine more blades to go - lets hope they're all as good as the first.

My top choice for my standard closed comb razor. They are flexible and sharp. Ive tried many brands and will stick with these. They have a great reputation. Now I did try them with my open comb razor and they didnt work as well with it. That type of razor might need a stiffer blade. So I use a different brand with the open comb razor.
