5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Best blade for my face, 6.17.2011
Reviewer: LM (Kansas City, Missouri)

I have used a few different kinds including Astra, Wilkinson, Shark and Feather. This is the only one so far that I feel really comfortable with. I can shave with my Gillette Fat Boy or my Merkur Vision and not end up with a rash or the need for a styptic pencil. My new favorite!

Reviewer: Jordon Berkove (guerneville, ca)

Not quite the shave as a Feather Platinum. Some say they get to much irritation from the Feathers but I'm fine with the Feathers and get a little irritation with these. Both fine quality blades.

Reviewer: Chris (, )

These blades work well enough, and I'd buy them again if they weren't so expensive compared to other blades of equal quality. That being said, I'd still recommend these for a first time double edge shaver because they are quite forgiving. I get 3 shaves doing 3 passes for each shave before I change these out, which is on par with other blades I've used. 4/5 stars because of price.

Sharp and easy to shave with. They seem to last as well.Highly recommended....
5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Good shave, minimal irritation, 3.30.2011
Reviewer: John (Gloucester, VA)

I received these blades in a sample pack. These blades give a very good shave with the least irritation of the batch. I have found that if I have more than one day's worth of growth that it catches and pulls a little more than a Feather blade (which irritates my face more). This is not really a big deal for me. Since I have found the pleasure of wet shaving I look forward to my daily shave and the baby-smooth face I have as a result. I'll never go back to the multi-blade systems and the blue goo!

Reviewer: Eduardo Herscovitz (Huntington beach, CA)

Tried Derby and Wilkinson. So far this is the best by far.

Reviewer: Troy Harris (Marion, OH)

Very good blades. Not quite as sharp as feather but do seem to last a few shaves longer with no harsh feel.
4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Great blades, 5.7.2010
Reviewer: Drew (Andover, MN)

I found these blades to be very sharp and lightly oiled to prevent corrosion in the packaging. However, once you put this in your razor body and expose the blade to water, it seems to corrode quickly even with towel drying. However, this still allows for a perfectly reasonable lifespan.
5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Great blades for bald guys, 1.26.2010
Reviewer: Patrick (Lemoyne, PA)

Merkur DE blades are excellent for men who shave their heads, like myself. My method is this: I use a fresh blade for one to two weeks on my face only. Once this blade as dulled a bit, I switch it into a secondary razor for my head. Since scalp hair isn't as course as face hair, a slightly dulled blade becomes the perfect edge for shaving the one's scalp. Using this method, I can double the time my Merkur blades are useful to me... roughly two weeks with my face, and then an additional two more weeks for my dome. It's a win-win with Merkur blades.

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Using them for a year... will never go back!,, 9.9.2008
Reviewer: Thomas Newman. aka Bladesmith "LC" (, )

I've been using a classic double edged razor (also made by Merkur) for about a year now; and I have to say that I'll never go back to "shaving systems." People have said that these blades are a mite unforgiving to beginners still learning to properly use a double edged razor, but I never had much of a problem. True, there is a small learning curve (how I wish the fathers of my generation had not been conned into the "multi-blade revolution" and had been able to teach us to shave properly). The rewards for taking the time to learn to shave properly are certainly worth the risks of a few stray nicks at first. Try them for a year in a well made razor and I'm sure you will never go back to bloated overpriced and not nearly as effective "shave scams"...er I mean systems.
