Razor Blades Club Astra-Derby-Shark-Starmaxx-Sharp-Lord 60 Quality Double Edge Razor Blades Sampler (12 different brands)

Like most of you, I bought this sampler to be able to easily compare and contrast the dozen brands before purchasing a 100-pack of a brand. I have shaved with DE safety razors for about 7 years, and was using Feathers until I ran out recently. I was surprised that the price of a Feather 100-pack had almost doubled! So I needed to find a more reasonably priced brand. My criteria were simple: the blade had to be smooth and efficient on the first shave, nearly as good on the fifth shave as on the first, generally consistent from blade to blade, and a 100-pack had to be under $10. (This last criteria eliminated the Nacets and Permasharps.) My methodology was as follows: I went through one blade for each brand for two shaves. I repeated this process. This eliminated all brands that were not smooth and efficient right off of the bat, or ones that were not consistent for both the blades. I then used the remaining brands for five shaves, and repeated this three times. I shaved on consecutive days, or left a gap of a day, to have longer hair to cut. I used a point system for this phase - 1 point for a great shave, half a point for an “ok” shave, etc. Finally, I used a Tatara Muramasa adjustable razor, which is the finest razor I’ve used (vs. multiple Rocnel Sailors, Merkur, ATT, Timeless, etc). I have a very consistent shaving technique, and prefer a mild-to-medium shave. After first round I was able to eliminate the Asco, Astra Platinum, Shark Platinum, Derby Extra, Treet, and Lord razors. All of them presented a poor shave within the first two shaves of a single blade, or on the second blade. This left the Sharp, Shark Stainless, Astra Stainless, and Derby Premium. All of these are excellent razors, and I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them. However after two weeks with each blade, and a total of fifteen shaves, the Derby Premiums stood out. They were consistently smooth and efficient, from the first shave to the fifth. Derby has a great reputation, and rightly so. So there you have it. This is a great pack to do your own comparison, and an excellent value. Happy shaving!

If you’re new to double razor wet shaving these are a must have. All things change the type of shave you will have, and enjoy. The pre-shave preparation, shave soup vs. shave cream, shave oil, and yes they type of razor blade takes a great roll in reducing irritation, and makes for a comfortable shave. The above razor blades are not expensive and allow you to try our different razor blades to see which one suits your style of shaving best. All work well, with quality materials, and hardness levels. Try them all, before you buy in bulk.

There was a lot of trial and error here but I found my fit after switching to wet shaving with double edge blades. This sampler represents a very broad spectrum: mild to aggressive shaves, supremely sharp to just adequate sharp blades, silky smooth to Jack The Ripper experiences. I shaved with each of the blades and made notes on the experiences to narrow down my pick. Then I bought bulk of the blades that worked best for me here on Amazon. This is such a subjective topic but I like the Astra Platinum blades in the green and white tucks. I have medium to coarse hair but fairly sensitive skin. I focus on a "good complexion" outcome not a "scraped raw" effect. I use Proraso shave foam in the white tube, a Yintal shaving handle and a synthetic badger hair style shaving brush. I finish off with an alum bar and a cold water rinse to close my pores. I only use each blade for two days/two shaves, flipping in between. I could probably get four shaves but I don't want to risk the irritation. Works out to 4-5 cents per shave. There is a lot of buzz online about old blades and new blades, counterfeits and genuine articles. I do not think this sampler contains any counterfeits, maybe just some older styles of blades. I really hope this helps you make a smart decision! Thank you!

Good selection of blades here, but instead of having two packs of Gillette Platinums, one of them should really be a pack of Silver Blues. Everyone deserves to try those things.

This will take me awhile to get thru as I only shave my line up all over every so often

Great opportunity to use/try different blades for comparing for "bread lame " utility. There are truly different characteristics observed between the blades. This assortment allowed my chef/wife to experiment and find the specific blade most suited to each dough and project.

A great selection of blades at a great price. Perfect to discover what works best for you.

Great sample pack. I’ve been using a DE razor for 2 years now and recently needed a new sample pack to try out blades with my new handle. This is by far my favorite sample pack I’ve tried. All blades seem to be legit and not fakes. My biggest tips are: 1) Make sure you try every blade because each blade will perform differently based on the handle you use and your hair type, so it is hard to just go off reviews. ASCO is one of the cheaper less reviewed blades in this pack but so far it is definitely one of my top 3. 2) Don’t be afraid to spend a little bit more on the blades you like because they really do seem to last forever. I shave 3 times a week and use each blade twice (once on each side). With that math I use 1.5 blades a week which means this sample pack will last me 10 MONTHS! Spend a little more if needed in the beginning and you’ll be much happier.

Nice selection of razor blades to test out the new safety razor.

A usar estás navajas, creo que el secreto es adaptarse a cada navaja, probando varias marcas, si se sienten distintas, pero hacen al final su función. Creo que usar preafeitado y espuma de brocha ya es suficiente para que cualquiera de estas navajas actúe bien. Yo las uso una vez por mi piel sensible.

A excellent assortment of blades to try and find your favorite. Different blades feel differently so try them all.

Me llegaron las 60 piezas en total. Creo que es un paquete que te brinda el conocimiento necesario, para saber que navaja queda mejor en tu piel y vello. No he podido probar el 100%, pero en cuestión calidad-precio, recibes lo que pagas. Ya actualizaré la reseña, si surge algo relevante.
