These blades are a great deal, they stay sharp enough to comfortably shave 10-15 times, and I shave every 2-3 days, although I have a lighter beard which is probably why they last so long for me.

I've given a 2 week test period devoted to each of 4 brands of blades; Feather blades of Japan, Merkur of germany, Derby of Turkey, and these Personna made in Israel I found to give the "best" shave for me personally, with the most ease, and least amount of irritation. Just my experience, will likely be different for alot of people.

I've been using these for a few months now and have been very happy with the results. They work really well with a Merkur and last about a week, maybe slightly more if you want to push it, with daily shaving. I've read some reviews saying that you need Merkur blades for a Merkur razor, but I've tried both and haven't seen any difference. Buying in bulk like this definitely has cost benefits - it's only a few cents per blade, which is another added benefit to switching from the Mach 3 (and its ilk). Anyway - these are good razors and will give you a very very close shave. Just remember that you absolutely have to use a high quality cream or soap or you run the risk of cutting the crap out of your face...

This review is from: 100 Crystal "SUPER +" Platinum Double Edge Safety Razor Blades A.K.A Israeli Personnas (Health and Beauty)

Razor used: Merkur HD 38C

I have used many different types of blades with my razor and found that there are some where I don't get a good enough shave (Dorco), some where I take off the top layer of skin (Feather and Merkur), and some where I get a great shave but the blades are dull after 3 or 4 shaves (Sharp). I have found that the Crystal Super+ is the best of all worlds, meaning I get a great shave and the blades last upwards of 10 shaves. The price is also low compared to the high-end brands. The razors are also held in a plastic dispenser, as opposed to some other brands that are only in a cardboard box. I have also not experienced any quality control with this brand, not that I have seen issues with other brands; every blade gives the same performance as the last.
