When paired with a slant razor, ( I’ve got a vintage pomco), bbs without irritation. Awesome!

Stay focused on the shave else you'll have wasted time getting the "gotchas' patched up. Only one that does not drag and cuts through the very first pass.

As stated these are very sharp. They cut well but also gave me a few knicks and cuts. Will keep it as a backup.

I have been using a van Der Hagen DE with VDH blades around a beard for the past few years. Recently I have become and enthusiast. I have now tried a few other blades. All the Hype on this blade is accurate. I am going to try a fresh feather in my shavette as soon as I get a little more proficient and it is as good on the shavette as the DE I will probably by a 100 pack and never look back. SUPERIOR quality. Maybe next year I will put one in the REX supply razor. Thank you, Razor Emporium. Great service.
