just switched over to a straight razor from the multi blade systems, comparable shave, and much cheaper. plus i no longer get razor bumps

I wanted to try a straight razor, but didn't want to spend the money for a nice one. I found a replacement blade system (less than $20) and bought these. Just got done trying them - They are GREAT! I am very prone to razor bumps/ingrown hairs; I have none after this shave. Worth the money.

I use these with my parker S1. I have not used any other similar product for comparison, but like anyone else who has been shaving with cartridges it just feels so good to be paying pennies per razor so 5 stars it is.

WARNING do not drop the box, 100 paper thin wax wrapped pieces of metal is a chore to pick up.

I believe you get what you pay for...but in this case you actually get a little bit more. I found these razors to be useful and for the price, a great value!

This product consists of double-edged razor blades snipped in half lengthwise. Not very compatible with a Dovo Shavette, although they are being bundled together on the Dovo Shavette page. The price is right, but now I have 100 of them and can't think of a single use, except maybe as an addition to Halloween candy. ONLY KIDDING!!! JUST A JOKE!!! a VERY SICK ATTEMPT AT HUMOR!!! SATIRE, PARODY,call it what you will.
Instead, I recommend the Personna Shavette Blades, 5-pack, found at Personna Replacement Hair Shapers Blades (60 Blades) sp#8800
A MUCH better blade for use with the Shavette.

Very sharp blades, I have a heavy beard so I usually have to shave twice a day, but not with these. I get 4 or 5 close shaves per blade. So with the hundred blade box I can shave a whole year for less than $6.00. If you don't know how to use a straight razor just watch some youtube videos and practice without the blades. These blades are used with a barbers' shavette and need to be installed with proper alignment, but there's no stropping or honing like a regular straight razor. After you get the hang of it you'll rarely nick yourself, and if you use regular shave creme you can shave almost as fast as using a disposable without paying 5 bucks a cartridge.

sharp, well packaged and get the job done
used these with the Dovo shavette range and they fit well and get the job done
they do dull quickly but no more so than other blades

what can i say about straight razor blades. i found great use for them and they last as long as a replace razor blade head. so i can't really say anything special about it you pay for what you buy.

I have been a barber for the last nine years and have used all types of different shaving blades, from Wilkinson to Derby. I started using Derby two years ago after I went to the beauty supply store and my 'regular' blades were sold out. I like that they already come cut in half, so you dont have to snap them and lose the other half, just unwrap and use. I also liked their quality, it WAS an inexpensive well made blade. However in the last couple of months the blade quality has decreased incredibly, now I have trouble shaving my customer's neck and mustache, two very sensitive areas. I really dont know what has happened. Before it used to be that out of a pack of 100 blades 5 or less would give me problems, but in the last pack I had problems with all my blades and was forced to returned the extra two packs I bought due to my customer's complains. I am highly disappointed by Derby, I like their design but I have to admit that I won't buy them again. :(

If your looking to save money on Razors and get a nice shave, then these will do the job. With some practice you can actually get a really good shave. I use the Dovo replaceable straight Razor with these razors.

Pro: Good price, delivers nice shave,

Con: Blade only lasts about a week at max
