I bought a tuck of these blades in September, but hadn't open it up until this week as I had other tucks to finish. MAN, this reminded me of Astra Superior Platinum! But unlike the Astras, I really don't even feel the blade, and today, on Shave number four, no nicks, irritation, or feedback from witch hazel and alum. Aftershave also gave no feedback. BBS shave, nice and sharp. I'm going to try and see how many I can get out of these blades. If it's as long-lasting as the Astra SPs, I may just get a hundred-count!
