Review: Sharp, Smooth, and Consistently Reliable – My Go-To Blade for Daily Shaving - After testing multiple safety razor blades over the past year, Astra Platinum has stood out for its consistent balance of sharpness, smoothness, and durability. I’ve used these blades with both aggressive and mild razors (Merkur 34C and Edwin Jagger DE89), and they perform reliably in both. Performance Highlights: Smooth on first pass: Even on 2-day stubble, the first stroke feels clean without tugging. Efficient cutting: I typically get 4–5 comfortable shaves per blade, which is excellent value. Minimal irritation: I have sensitive skin, and these don’t leave razor burn or nicks when used with proper technique. Consistent quality: Every blade I've used so far has been free of defects and evenly coated. They come individually wrapped in wax paper, which helps prevent accidental cuts when loading. I store a few in a small magnetic blade tin in my bathroom drawer for easy access. I also tested these on finer areas like the neckline and jawline, where my skin tends to react — and still no bumps or post-shave redness. If you're just getting into wet shaving or want a blade that performs well across different skin types and razors, this is a reliable, affordable option that punches well above its price point. I keep restocking this exact brand for a reason. Review: Sharp but not too sharp, very comfortable shaves - TL;DR — These are my go-to blades for great, close shaves at an unbeatable price. Here is my review of the blades I've tried. There are a lot of sampler packs on desertcart, but after doing some research I chose to order around 30 each of just a few different blades to try, avoiding all of the lesser-quality "filler". I'll compare here and there to Mach-3 blades since that's what I previously used before switching to electric, and now this. First off, Derby is what came with my razor. These you can practically rake across your face any way you see fit. They aren't very sharp, on par with a Mach-3 that's been used a few times. Shaving requires more strokes which leads to more irritation, especially on the neck. That said, I'd say these are a good blade if you're super worried about cutting yourself, because it's practically impossible. But even beginners might want to look elsewhere as these blades kind of ruin the "shaving experience". Don't be disappointed if you just bought this razor and have only tried these blades! Keep reading... I ordered a 100-pack of Astra SP Platinum (that's Astra Superior Premium Platinum, not the regular stainless) since it's under ten bucks at the time of this writing. These are great. Beginners, start here. They're sharp enough that you don't have to press the razor against your skin—which you shouldn't have to! You're supposed to let the weight of your razor do the work as you guide it along your face in short strokes. So naturally, these are sharper than Mach-3 blades, but if you do press a little, you probably won't nick yourself. I love these blades because for me, they're comfortable enough for everyday use and provide good, close shaves at a very inexpensive price. Easy on my neck with care. My go-to blade. Great for beginners and pros alike, and eligible for Subscribe & Save! Wilkinson Sword Classic seem to be great blades for people who have their technique down pretty well. Compared to Astra SP Platinum, they are sharper. They provided the best shave of the lot, but I did nick myself here and there on my neck and below my chin the first time around. Do not push these blades against your skin. It doesn't take much mastery to use these, and they're worth working up to. Downside: more than twice the price of Astra SP Platinum. I'll keep some of these around for days when I want the closest shave possible, or I just feel like something different. If you're new to traditional shaving or think Mach-3 blades are sharp, maybe don't start here, but definitely try them out. Feather "New Hi Stainless" Platinum Coated blades are exactly what the reviews say: sharp. My first shave I got a good amount of nicks, but my second I had almost none. I adapted well, and you have to; each brand is a little different and the best require good technique, but some are more forgiving than others. These are negligibly sharper than the Wilkinson Sword Classic but they aren't forgiving at all and I didn't achieve any better of a shave. They're incredibly sharp compared to a Mach-3 blade. At 2x the price of the aforementioned and more than 3x the price of Astra SP Platinum, I won't be keeping these on hand, but your mileage may vary. If you only want the sharpest blade around, this is it. Fun fact: these come ten to a pack instead of five. In conclusion, I'm sticking with Astra SP Platinum for regular use and Wilkinson Sword Classic when I'm up for something sharper. I shave every other day, and either is priced reasonably enough that if I want, I can use each side of a blade just once for a fresh edge every shave. That's about a 100-pack every year, so do the maths on price. Of course, both brands last much longer than this if you're looking for even better value. ## Features - Model Number: ASTRA01 - Country Of Origin: India - Item Package Weight: 6.0 oz - Item Package Dimension: 8.0" L x 1.5" W x 8.0" H ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001QY8QXM | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,033 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #8 in Men's Razor Blade Cartridges | | Brand | ASTRA | | Brand Name | ASTRA | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 54,855 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 07702018007257 | | Item Weight | 6 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Gillette | | Number of Blades | 100 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Shaving | | Skin Type | All | | UPC | 883887205580 622200155726 | | Unit Count | 100 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ASTRA - **Number of Blades:** 100 - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Shaving - **Unit Count:** 100 Count ## Images ![Platinum Double Edge Safety Razor Blades,100 Blades (20 x 5) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71e6nFIuwJL.jpg) ![Platinum Double Edge Safety Razor Blades,100 Blades (20 x 5) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51RqWd+sb-L.jpg) ![Platinum Double Edge Safety Razor Blades,100 Blades (20 x 5) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gA-ufQQ2L.jpg) ![Platinum Double Edge Safety Razor Blades,100 Blades (20 x 5) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SN9OQWnlL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: are these razors cruelty free?** A: Yes they are cruelty free; no robots were disassembled and melted down to produce these razor blades. The Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz recommends these blades. **Q: I am confused... does the 1 count size contain 100 blades?** A: Yes, 1 pack contains 100 blades (5 small packsx 20blades=100blades) **Q: How do you dispose these blades safely?** A: I didn't check all answers, but if you buy a can of juice (pineapple, cranberry, apple, etc) and just drink or drain the juice out, you can make a slot in the top that is the exact size for the blades. This is great because there is 0 chance of them getting out unless you physically break the can open (good for those with children). I bought an 18 oz pineapple juice can about 5 years ago and am still using it, maybe 20% full just based on how the weight feels when I pick it up **Q: Are these just the razors? or do they come with a handle as well (to hold while shaving)?** A: They are just the blades. the razors are on amazon and are really cheap for basic ones we paid around 13.00 for 2 with shipping they take a few weeks to get here. My guys went to them because we where paying around 40.00 a month for the other blades that was way to much just to shave.
