Gillette SharpEdge are my new favourite blades, and I have decided that they are the only blades I will be using from now on. In regard to sharpness, they remind me of Feather blades, but I much prefer them over Feather for two reasons: they're significantly less expensive, and they are much smoother and don't cause any irritation at all (Feather blades always felt abrasive and scratchy to me). I have an unfortunate combination of sensitive baby skin and coarse pine-needle hair, but these blades are the perfect solution to that quandary because they will effortlessly mow through the most coarse hair and cause no irritation whatsoever. Quality control for this line seems to be excellent as well; I have yet to encounter a defective blade. I can usually get about five or six shaves out of a blade before I have to change it, so I would consider that a pretty good value in terms of longevity. Everybody perceives blades differently, so there will be some people who don't feel the same way I do about them, but it's definitely worth trying a pack if you're seeking a smooth, sharp blade that's suitable for coarse hair.
Great product. It came wrapped up safely and was perfect when I opened the package. It smells great, and I can't wait to review it on my channel!
Got this razor and normally I trim with an electric before I go back to work and finish with a cartridge razor. I skipped the trim this time to test out the new razor. By far the most comfortable shave I've given myself and much closer than anything I've bought from a box store. Highly recommend. Class Edge also shipped quick and left a personal hand written note thanking me for being a customer which was appreciated.
I was successfully able to set a bevel on my straight razor for the first time ever using this stone. For the price, this is such a great deal, because you're getting the 1000 grit side for setting the bevel, and the 3000 grit for further sharpening afterward. The stone is not as wide as a standard 3" straight razor blade, so you will need to use X strokes, but it definitely works wonders for honing the blade. I highly recommend!
