It's time to give reviewing shaving products a shot! Asking around the shaving community, they believe you should address; price, quality, sharpness, longevity,smoothness, and packaging. I will be reviewing the Astra Platinum razor blades, the ones that come in the red package. Let's start this off!
- Price: I purchased 100 of these blades from Fendrihan.com at the amazing price of $16 Canadian
- Quality: These blades are made in Russia, they were initially made in Czech Republic but then Gilette bought the company and moved production to Russia
- Sharpness: The first time I used these blades I was amazed by the sharpness compared to other milder blades such as Wilkinson Sword or Merkur. They provide a great shave, they might not be the best blade to start out with due to the sharpness as they are not a very forgiving blade if used incorrectly
- Longevity: This blade had lasted me a while, I would say around 3 or 4 shaves, you can still shave after that with it, but I like to keep my blades sharp
- Smoothness: This is where the blade really shines, you can really feel how smooth this blade is AFTER your shave, it glides over your face like silk
- Packaging: The packaging is fairly average, which is not bad, it comes in a simple wax package to protect the blade and then a paper cover with the name on it.
