    Default Great deal on Astra blades

    I am about a month into wet shaving and love it. I have been using Wilkinson Sword blades and they have worked out great. On Amazom, I saw that I could get 100 Astra blades for 10 bucks and I jumped on it. Anyone here used that brand before and what did you think?

    A lot of people use Astra blades. I think you'll probably find that they are superior in almost every way to the Wilinson Sword blades you have been using.

    If you search Astra in this forum you'll find several hours worth of reading available because they're one of the most popular blades available.

    A great blade at a great price- probably overall a better blade than the Wilkonson IMHO!

    Great blades! Many use them as the benchmark, including me, when trying new razors, etc. I just ordered some myself...

    Ah.... he's discovered the secret to buying good blades already..... Astra SP's on Amazon.

    I doubt you will be disappointed. I've bought my fair share of 100 packs of Astra SP's on Amazon as well. You'll be hard pressed to find a better value if they agree with you. I love them.

    The Astra SP is my daily DE blade. That's a great deal on a very good blade.
