Would these work for shaving? Looks like a decent deal.

you want to find out if those blades are two facet or three facet...only 3 facet blades should be used for shaving. Just a guess but at the price that it's listed for, those are likely 2 facet blades, therefore unsuitable for shaving, but ask the vendor just to find out. If the vendor can't answer that, i wouldn't touch them

There aren't many choices for single edge blades. I think it's pretty much down to GEM/personna or treet. The industrial blade will not work for shaving. they have a much duller edge and are not coated. Those are made to go into window scrapers and such. I tried shaving with one and it made 2 swipes before i tossed it out.

Wait a minute.......Did I read that right??? You tried to shave with a paint scraper??? You just got love those guys from Alabama............ Bless their hearts!!!!....JR
