Can not find these on the shelf anymore in our area so happy when I found them on line. We use these in castrating calves and they need to be sharp. These seem to work well. They are a lot higher in price than they use to be but it is what it is I guess.
Used these today in my 1944 GEM Featherweight. First time I used a single edge razor. Great shave with this blade. Used some Imperial pre-shave and shave soap and my face feels great.
I much prefer these carbon steel blades to the stainless ones. They provide a closer yet more comfortable shave. As the description says, they'll rust if you don't dry them after use, and I think they dull more quickly than stainless. But being carbon steel, they respond to honing on a scrap piece of denim for a couple extra shaves. Last as long as the stainless that way.
