I was surprised at how well these blades performed. Not my favorite ones by far, however, I keep these with my Feather Popular razor that I use as a travel set.

I've used a lot of different blades over the years and have come to realize blade reviews are extremely subjective. I can only add my two cents here in hopes it helps someone else that has hair and skin like my own. I have sensitive skin so I look for a blade that is a combination of sharp and smooth. I would compare these blades to polsilver, shark super chrome and gillette 7 o'clock super stainless. The only reason I give them 4 stars, is for me I only get one good shave out of them. It's a really really smooth shave though so I would def reorder them.

I received these as part of the Sampler set and they were so bad - rough, uneven, dull, that I changed to a new blade after a shave and a half because they were so bad. They were so rough, that I even went back to the Lord blades that I hate to finish a shave. Perhaps I received a bad batch, but these were the worst blades I have ever used.

I've read good reviews on Dorco blades, but for me these were fairly mild, and didn't perform as well as I hoped. For guys with light beards and tender skin, these probably would work fine.
