The first shave is a bit aggressive, but the second through fifth shaves are perfect. I'm sure you could go past 6 shaves with these blades.

I have a medium thick whiskers and I get a close shave with my safety razor. Also, does great with my Shavette. I would recommend these blades, although everyone’s beard is different. Good luck and happy shaving.

I ordered these to give a little more aggressiveness to my Merkur 42C-1904 razor. I found them to be smooth and efficient without causing irritation. I will purchase again. Razor Emporium was quick and efficient in processing my order. They were very accommodating, helpful and patient in correcting a self afflicted problem with my order, thanks Em!

Excellent, Excellent blades. The best shave I've ever had.
