A wise fortune cookie once told me this:
Yes, as far as I know they are still owned by Gilltette and made in Saint Petersburg Russia. They are a good blade with reliable consistency much like all the blades made in that factory. This price is good, but even standard prices on blades from that factory aren't much more.Thundercloud wrote: ↑ Does Gillette own Astra? Or is that feather...
I think I bought 100 blades like 3 years ago and I still have like 20 left.
Do all the blades work the same for you? Or do you find certain ones less irritating? I had a sample pack when I first started a few years ago and have been using feather. I did go back to merkur and astra a few times through the years but found they irritated my face and dragged. The feathers are stupid sharp but less irritating for me. Everyone's skin is different so once you find the right one, go with that. But if any of the blades work, you're lucky!pnyknights wrote: ↑ I'm still using my sample pack, still can't decide what to stock up on :P
$20 Feather plastic handle works great, though I don't think I've ever seen it go on sale...AndrewT35784 wrote: ↑ What blade handle do you guys use for these?
The Merkur Progress is a nice entry level razor IMHO. Adjustable so you can dial it in as you get better.AndrewT35784 wrote: ↑ What blade handle do you guys use for these?
