Single Blades
Being a man of color I rely on the single blade razors. Merkur razors and blades have been the best for me no more bumps or ingrown hairs. I own two of them the long and short handles. I recommend them for all guys who have trouble with bumps and razor burn cause it is perfect for sensitive skin.

Cheap, effective, but you can do better
The blades are inexpensive, work well and they do last for a few shaves. They were the first ones I tried, and I actually have a Merkur razor so I thought they'd work well together. However, after trying the Derby Extra's, I have to say that those are much better blades. As always your mileage may vary. I would recommend getting less than a 3 pack and just giving them...

I've been using a Merkur double-edge razor for a couple months now, so I'm still pretty new to the whole razor blade thing. I haven't used any other blades that I can compare them with. What I can say is that these are sharp and seem to last for a nice number of shaves. The little plastic dispenser they come in has a slot on the back for safe blade disposal. At about $.50 a blade they are a lot cheaper than the cartridges at the store.

I'm a bit stunned by these reviews. If you buy a Merkur Razor, this is possibly the worst choice in a blade. They are incredibly expensive, dull quickly, and provide a rather rough shave.
If you are using a Merkur blade as your first DE blade, maybe you think it's great, but there are so many better choices that are a fraction of the cost.
Please get a sampler pack of blades when you get your first DE razor. Derby, Gillette 7 O'Clock, Israeli Personna, and even Wal-Mart blades are a much better choice. These are terrible. I buy my favorite blade (Israeli Personna) for about 10 cents a blade with shipping. Derbys are pretty good too, at about 13 cents a blade.

The Merkur Super double edge razor blades have saved my life.
As I have gotten older my beard had toughened to the point that the expensive multi blades no longer do the job. Shaving with a brand new triple or quad blade would leave me with a rough sandpaper feel which I hated. It never felt clean.
Then I remembered in the 60's using a double edge blade and it was always smooth so I gave it a another try. I now get the close shave I want.
This is a much greener way to shave too. No plastic so the landfill is not being filled with bad stuff and using a shaving mug means only natural soaps touch my skin. You should read the junk they are putting in canned shaving cream these days. Your skin absorbs over 80% of what it comes in contact with. Ugh!
I highly recommend going back to the golden days of the last century because for once it's better. You'll never get a better shave.

When I purchased my safety razor I tested two different types of blades Merkur and Gillette. The Merkur blades are much better from someone like myself who has sensitive skin but still needs to shave every morning.

I love these blades. If I could rate in halves, I would take half a star away for durability. My thick beard makes these razors good for only one or two shaves, but they give me a great result. Highly recommended!

Finally; a source for double edge razor blades. These are very good razor blades for those of us who still rely on the "old" technology. What I use them in is a hair trimmer that I purchased several years ago. Use of this devise extends the time between visits to the barber and with the cost of a haircut these days the longer that time is the better. This provides me with a cheap haircut at a time when every penny saved is a bonus.
