Razor Blades Club Astra-Derby-Shark-Starmaxx-Sharp-Lord 60 Quality Double Edge Razor Blades Sampler (12 different brands)

Great Sample

Great sample pack. I’ve been using a DE razor for 2 years now and recently needed a new sample pack to try out blades with my new handle. This is by far my favorite sample pack I’ve tried. All blades seem to be legit and not fakes.My biggest tips are:1) Make sure you try every blade because each blade will perform differently based on the handle you use and your hair type, so it is hard to just go off reviews. ASCO is one of the cheaper less reviewed blades in this pack but so far it is definitely one of my top 3.2) Don’t be afraid to spend a little bit more on the blades you like because they really do seem to last forever. I shave 3 times a week and use each blade twice (once on each side). With that math I use 1.5 blades a week which means this sample pack will last me 10 MONTHS! Spend a little more if needed in the beginning and you’ll be much happier.

Great Place to Start

I got this pack when I started with DE shaving. I use a Viking chieftain 5 BC razor, Lather and wood soap and pre-shave oil.I used each blade for two sessions before getting new blade. Typical session was 2-3 passes and generally 2 days between shaving.Here are my personal experiences with each blade. Your results may vary.Shark SuperAfter 3 passes, started pulling more. Took 3 passes to get close shave.Second blade, on second shave had some neck irritation and a few nicks.Derby extraVery close shave on face. Lots of nicks on neck. Not much irritation.Astra super stainlessGood cutting, usually took two passes. No nicks or irritation.Lord platinumNick on neck but otherwise smooth shave fewer passes to get a good cut.Used three times for shaves, per blade, and still good.VoskhodVery mild razor. Took several passes to get a good shave. Minor irritation on neck.Derby premiumRough shave and needed two passes. No nicks or irritation. Third shave had irritation.Second blade caused nicks.AscoDecent cut but needed several passes. Very little irritation or nicking.RapiraNot super smooth but no nicks or irritation. Not an overly aggressive cut.Shark PlatinumVery smooth, several passes to shave close.

Which Blade Is Best? The Derby Premium FTW! Comprehensive Review

Like most of you, I bought this sampler to be able to easily compare and contrast the dozen brands before purchasing a 100-pack of a brand. I have shaved with DE safety razors for about 7 years, and was using Feathers until I ran out recently. I was surprised that the price of a Feather 100-pack had almost doubled! So I needed to find a more reasonably priced brand.My criteria were simple: the blade had to be smooth and efficient on the first shave, nearly as good on the fifth shave as on the first, generally consistent from blade to blade, and a 100-pack had to be under $10. (This last criteria eliminated the Nacets and Permasharps.)My methodology was as follows: I went through one blade for each brand for two shaves. I repeated this process. This eliminated all brands that were not smooth and efficient right off of the bat, or ones that were not consistent for both the blades. I then used the remaining brands for five shaves, and repeated this three times. I shaved on consecutive days, or left a gap of a day, to have longer hair to cut. I used a point system for this phase – 1 point for a great shave, half a point for an “ok” shave, etc. Finally, I used a Tatara Muramasa adjustable razor, which is the finest razor I’ve used (vs. multiple Rocnel Sailors, Merkur, ATT, Timeless, etc). I have a very consistent shaving technique, and prefer a mild-to-medium shave.After first round I was able to eliminate the Asco, Astra Platinum, Shark Platinum, Derby Extra, Treet, and Lord razors. All of them presented a poor shave within the first two shaves of a single blade, or on the second blade.This left the Sharp, Shark Stainless, Astra Stainless, and Derby Premium. All of these are excellent razors, and I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them. However after two weeks with each blade, and a total of fifteen shaves, the Derby Premiums stood out. They were consistently smooth and efficient, from the first shave to the fifth. Derby has a great reputation, and rightly so.So there you have it. This is a great pack to do your own comparison, and an excellent value. Happy shaving!
