great shave [SEP] the only thing better that i have tried is the polsilver super iridium but those are licensed by gillette and more expensive because of the rare metal they last a long time however these russian blades are most excellent and i can afford to swap out blades often to avoid potential skin problems they are as good a shave as any i have tried and they leave my face very smooth i tried blades in a sampler pack and was sold i ordered off for a pile of them
