Shark Double Edge Safety Razor Blades Super Chrome 100 Count

Update: I'm able to use one razor for WEEKS at a time, otherwise the indication that I generally wait for when it's time to change razors is that tug on the handle...Getting nicks/cuts from a sharp razor isn't a problem, but a nick/cut from a dull razor sucks even more when the cut isn't as clean like a sharp razor and takes more time (in my experience) to heal than a sharp razor which'll heal in as little as a day or couple days...Plus, these are more than affordable to run through versus cartridge razors, screw their indication strips, and 4 week usage...I've got more canvas to buff with than most other guys in my social group (plus, I occasionally shave my head since I'm already balding because the father of age determined that I shall lose a quarter of my hair by 22 and look like a goof and less cute unless I shave the other part off, lol)... I felt a huge sense of freedom switching over to Safety Razors when I'm not restricted to using only certain shaving creams without having the razor clog up (safety razors clean very easily)...I can take these into the showers or straight out in the field for simple grooming measures, and I'll always get the best shave as I would with any other shaving razor; but the best part about the switch, was being able to buy in bulk and never worrying about running out of razors again. You can run out of shaving cream, and then be punished later by how irritating the shave is later; but if you run out of shaving razors and arrive for work in a scruffy manner, you'll get one of the worst scolding sessions and possibly a wright-up that will stick with you longer than the irritation will depending on where you work. Originally, I used Feather Double Edged Razors; but didn't like how they were packaged with wax paper where changing out the blades was a pain when the blade would stick to my razor handle because of the wax coating (eventually my patience for this razor disappeared, and I wanted something that was easier to change razors with which would last a good week or two before needing to be replaced). They are incredibly sharp and last a while; but I ended up giving those to my father after he was tired of using disposable bic razors, so naturally I bought him a nice Merkur DE handle and gave him my other 180 DE razors from Feather (bought him some more later because HE was very happy with Feather DE razors, just to try out a different vendor that wasn't on Amazon and they had a deal on them that I was comfortable giving to my father 200 razors for $45.85 on top of the other 180 DE razors that I donated to him before) after I got my Gillette Wilkinson Sword Razors from India on Amazon. When I saw a good deal on Shark DE Razors, I had to jump on them (my apologies for looking like a hoard). I bought my Gillette razors when they were asking for $12.94 for 200 DE razors; and now I had to do the same with Shark when they were asking for $6.80 for a 100 DE razors. I liked how they were packaged because they were simple stainless steel razors without any wax packaging, lol, and most importantly they were cheap but still good quality (I usually only update something if the quality was bad, shamefully; otherwise I'm not expecting anything less than good quality with these razors like the Gillette and Feather DE razors)... From the looks of my current shaving 'kit', I'm not really worried about adding shaving razors to my shopping list...Ever (unless I'm bored like I am with these razors, lol), but that is the beauty behind DE razors...If you can't buy them off of store shelves (I'm not paying $8 for 5 DE razors from Van Der Hagen at Walmart; otherwise even the Dollar Tree can't compete against Amazon on quality and quantity which they want $40 for 200 razors which you have to order online from their store because you won't find the individual 5 packs on their shelves; by that point you'd simply go with Feather DE Razors if you want something nice, but Shark Razors are also nice razors too); then you buy in bulk online when you're down to 25 razors (or 175 razors by my example, lol) and give the folks doing the shipping time to get your product to you...

I have to start by saying that for me this blade provides an amazing close shave but that is my experience and may not be for others. This product is cheap but not in quality just in price, it is great quality and actually lasts at least 3 shaves while staying extremely sharp. In the past I have payed more for duller blades by wilkinson sword. My facial hair is very course and usually dulls out blades like fusion and carts alike within the first shave depending on how thick the beard growth is and im not talking about it being thick at all. The first shave i had with this blade, my beard growth was quite thick about 3 weeks of growth and the blade cut right through and only needed 2 passes, oh and it stayed sharp enough for two more shaves. I gave these blades a five star rating because the rating system didnt go into the diamonds (usually seen in hotels that bill gates goes to) and these will be my goto blades for the next 60-80 years i will shave and i would rate them into the diamond rating system. Likes - everything, the blades sit nicely into the razor and is sharp through many shaves. the blades are very good quality and rather inexpensive, these blades all 100 of them will last me atleast 2 years for 16$ plus shipping which wasnt much. Does not irritate my sensitive skin. Dis Likes - None. Recommendations - to anyone who wants a close shave that has hair like mine which is very course, although i am sure that anyone could with any type of hair would find them comfortable. I also have sensitive skin and they do not irritate my face. I also recommend them to my friends and family as i am trying to show them the way away from the carts and the crap that you buy in canada that isn't safety razors or straight razors which is the best way to shave. Overall - honestly I am going to buy more when i need it, i may buy a few 100 packs so i dont have to order for a long while. they are the best that i have used and they are great for my wallet. If you want a great shave that is in my opinion better then a derby and cheaper then one too, then get these, try them out i am very sure that you will like them as much as i do. Read more

(1) Are Shark Double Edge Safety Razor Blades easy to use? They are very easy to use. Nothing is required except you remove them from their paper wrapper and position them carefully into your safety razor -- and they do fit every different kind of double edge safety razor in my collection. Yes, very versatile and very easy to use. (2) Are these razor blades of high quality? I would say they are very high quality inasmuch as I have been able to obtain multiple shaves from a single blade but that is not my normal practice. I did it to see how far a blade would go and this one passed every test with flying colors for number of good shaves per blade. My normal habit is to use a clean, fresh blade each time I shave because these are so economical I can do that with no second thoughts at all. (3) Is this product geared toward somebody like myself? Yes. I like wet shaving and I have the technique down pat and these are very very good blades for the purpose. (4) Pros of the product? They are finely engineered and extremely economical and sharp enough to glide effortless along the skin leaving no hairs behind in the shaving process. (5) Cons of the product? I couldn't discover any negatives on this product. (6) How alternative blades measure up? I have used only one alternative and I still like the "Shark" the best. (7) Is the product worth my money? Let me put it this way: I just bought 100 of these blades and I will undoubtedly be buying the 2nd Hundred when these are gone! Read more
