problem with quality
These have been my favorite blades for awhile now, but lately I've found they're not consistently good. In every other box there will be one or two blades that are either too dull or too rough -- in one case there were four such blades. When they're good, they're excellent, but it's frustrating to pay for 100 and have to throw away so many.

Great all around blade!
Like the title says this is just a great blade for me. Definitely not as sharp as a Feather, but that's probably what makes it more user friendly. Also seems to work well in any razor I try it it. I can get a little bit better shave with a Feather, but the Astras are so good for the price that I'm not sure it's worth it.

Painful shave experience
I'm kind of surprised having read thru all of the reviews that they were all 4-5 stars. I got these blades as part of a "sampler pack", I have tried four of these blades in two very different razors with three different soaps/creams and had the same disappointing results each time. All four had a decent first shave but that was it. Each following shave (I could only handle 2 shaves per blade) were painful, tugging my skin and no matter how many times I went over a tough area, like my chin, I couldn't get all the stubble off. They made my skin raw because I was constantly going over the same area to get a smooth shave. Like I said, I'm very surprised someone else hasn't had a similar issue with this blade...horrible blades.

Great All Around Blade
These are my favorite blades, by far. Simply a fantastic all around blade, which can be relied upon to deliver a smooth and comfortable shave. They work great in a mild razor such as my Gillette Tech, and are not overly vicious in a more aggressive razor such as an adjustable or open comb. When you factor in the price, which is very reasonable, it is a no-brainer. I found them far superior to other blades such as Derby, Persona Platinum, or Wilkinson Sword for the same or less money.
