Some of the best blades in the market...
I'm a returning customer, these blades are top of the line for me and if you have a mid to coarse beard, this is a good blade to suit your needs. These are so impressive because having coarse beard they last for several shaves; I use them for three or four shaves. Some blades only last for two shaves, these blades glide on my face effortlessly and shave hair like a hot knife through butter. I really recommend them if you don't want something as aggressive as feather in sharpness but with great smoothness. I even liked these more than personna lab blues in regards to sharpness, these also maintain the edge longer for me than personnas. Today, I went to my local barber shop for a hair cut and beard edging. Whenever I get my beard and hair done I give my barber some of my favorite blades. Well, today I gave him an Astra Super Platinum, he asked me right away for the brand. I told them these are called Astra Super Platinum. He told me these are the best blades he has ever tried with a client in regards to sharpness and smoothness. The other day I gave him some feathers and he told me Astra are far better in smoothness and sharpness as well. In fact, he asked me to get him some as soon as I can. He was very surprised how Astra blades glide in your face like hot knife through butter and maintain the edge longer than most blades in the market. Give them a try, for seven dollars a 100 pack, you do not have a whole lot to lose; I am sure you will not be disappointed. Read full review

Indian Made ASPs - Serviceable But Not Great
ASP DE’s have been my blade of choice for some time – ever since I left the much more expensive world of cartridges.
A much better shave than cartridges. Smooth -- blade “glides” across my face. Close even shave. 7 days of shaves from a single blade. Each shave 3 passes – down, sideways, and up. Couldn’t really do that with a cartridge. Nicks are pretty much a thing of the past.
Merkur 34C razor. Average beard.
With the shift of production to India, I gave the new blades a try.
Same regime – 7 days on a single blade. 3 passes each shave.
Noticeable difference. Less “glide” during a shave. Wife noticed some skin irritation. Nothing major, though.
Blades shave close. Are serviceable.
But I find the Russian-made ASPs more comfortable and enjoyable.
Shaving is a highly personal experience . Yours may differ from mine.
One final note - this review in on the product not the seller - who has no control over production of the blades.Read full review

Super Sharp
I had been shaving with an old school Shick Injector razor. I got a new razor for Christmas and it used these style blades. I got a package of Gillette Platinum blades with my razor and liked them but looked on line at reviews of different blades. At the awesome price these were being offered at I purchased them. According to the label on the box they are made by the same company at the same location as the Gillette Platinum blades. They are super sharp and give me a baby butt smooth shave. I go six shaves, changing my blade every Sunday morning and I usually don't shave on Saturdays. At one a week I will get almost 2 yrs out of these blades at a cost of under $10. What a deal!
I am going to try other blades just because it is part of the fun in the adventure of shaving but would recommend these blades with the understanding they are very sharp. I have not sliced or diced my face but it would be very easy if not careful.Read full review

Good all purpose blade.
Been a DE shaver for 40+ years and have used just about every make and model razor and blade with Shark and Feather being my favorites. With that being said, this is the first time I've used this brand blades. I've used them for about 2 weeks and am a bit impressed.
1952 Gillette; good shave but not as close as Feather but a smooth glide.
1966 Gillette; closer shave than Feather very smooth glide.
Parker HD open comb; outstanding shave! Closest shave I've ever had. Better than Shark which I use sole in this razor. No drag or skips, excellent glide and left my face as smooth as my 10 year old grandson's face. These blades retain an excellent edge for 5+ shaves and could probably go 10+ for lighter beards.
It is important to try any new blades in several different razors as no 2 are the same and all will yield different results.
I recommend these blades as an excellent value with great durability and would be an excellent choice for the new DE shaver as they are fairly forgiving as well.Read full review

Excellent Blades.
Great Blades that stay sharp!
I have used other blades in the past but always find myself coming back to the Astra Super Platinum. I use them for 7 days and the blades are just as sharp and smooth on the 7th day as they are on day 1. Not sure I will ever try any other brand blades.Read full review

Great Value and Great Price for a Very Good Blade
I can only compare these blades to others I have used such as Gillette, Personna, Dorco, and several others from India. When I first started shaving, I started with Gillette. When I used other blades, I always went back to Gillette. Now, I am talking about the 1980's before the twin blade revolution. During those times, Gillette gave a good close shave and I could literally get two to three weeks shaving on one blade. "Gillette, the best a man can get" was their slogan. At that time, I agreed with them. Moving ahead thirty years, I feel lucky if I can get three good shaves off on one Gillette blade. I can say that they now compare closer to Dorco, which is also a very good blade especially for the price. I have been comparing several brands over the last 6 months as I stated before. My final opinion is that Astra blades gives a better shave and more shaves per blade. I have been consistently getting four to five shaves per blade using Astra. If you look around, you can find a box of 100 Astra blades for under $10.00 and many times with free shipping. A three box pack of 15 blades from Gillette will cost $4 to $7. It does not make sense to pay more for a blade that doesn't perform as well as a less expensive blade. Buy a 100 count box of Astra's and you will be covered for blades for an entire year. And the price beats the Blade of the Month Club. If you use a safety razor to shave with, buy the Astra blades. I do not think you will be disappointed.Read full review

Awesome Blades!!!
These are very Sharp!!!
They are stainless Platinum and Ceramic Coated.
I have a severally Tough Beard and these Blades are the Best ones I have Bought Yet! I used to have to use Very Expensive 5 Bade Razors that I spent over 150 dollars a year on!
With my Trusty Gillette DA handle that was made in 1945 I get the most Close shave Ever and my Blades last over a week!!! My Fancy expensive 5 blade Razor cartridges never lasted any longer and for 10 dollars I have 100 weeks of super Great Shaves and a lot Money in my Pocket.
My Dad who is 73 years Old always shaved with his identical Gillette handles so thought I would try it. The Astra Blades are High Tech with platinum and ceramic coatings. I WILL MEVER GO BACK!!!
Love my shaver My Poraso Soap and Pre/Post shave stuff and Love the feel of my Boars hair brush on my Face!!!
Buy these Blades They are Awesome!!
Love it!!!!!

Perfect for me
Granted this is only the 3rd blades I've tried but this is a keeper for me. Sharp enough for a nice shave but not overly aggressive. Easy to shave with, I'm impatient and always in a rush & I get a nice shave with these on the go. I don't really see myself using anything else unless for some reason when I run out I can't find these. Other than it looks like I'm sticking with Astra now!Read full review

Great deal on a great blade.
These are sharp and aggressive razors so if your technique is poor you will cut yourself every time you shave. However, when your technique is good these will yield a fantastic shave and you can probably get 10+ good shaves off of a single blade. The price point on these is less than $0.15 a blade.
If you want a more forgiving blade at the expense of a slight bit of longevity, look at the Gillette Silver Blue.Read full review

My Perfect Set
Bought a pack of these blades that contained 5 blades per pack, and I absolutely fell in love with these blades. They cut through my bead like butter, so sharp and yet so smooth on my skin I get no irritation. My words to you people looking to get these blades, first buy a couple to see if they agree with your skin. If so buy a hundred pack and you won't regret it, and at this price there's no room for complaining.Read full review

Good product, should last years
Straight razor blades are where it’s at. The cost savings is huge. This should last years. I like this brand and have had a good experience with it.
