I received a box of these with a recent package from Pete Hendrix of HCC. I had never heard of them before but am not a "blade guy". I'll try whatever is given to me in orders, etc. but I stick with Astra Greens for the most part and don't go out of my way to try other things. The last three blades I've tried were so bad I said I was done with trying new things. I'm usually disappointed when comparing new stuff to what I normally use.
On a whim, I opened these up. 10 blades to a pack which is nice. They seemed really thin compared to my other blades, but that may be my imagination. I loaded one up in my favorite razor- the SCS A1- and started the shave. Call me impressed. They seem to be a nice combo of pretty sharp and smooth. Seemed to be sharper than my Astra blades. It resulted in an extremely close and comfortable shave. Same thing with shave #2 this morning. No difference at all. Very nice.
A little bit of research shows that Henson razors has partnered with this company to provide blades for them and they're available on auction sites, etc. for a decent price (12 USD or so) per 100. Made in India.
I like them. Anybody else have any comments?
