I started using a safety razor in 2015 for the first time since I was a teenager. Glad to be back! haha At the time I knew nothing of what blades were good, bad, whatever. I bought a few samples and in the end bought 100 Feather blades. Feathers are sharp MF's, and at the time my thinking was sharpest is best, but I was wrong. So as I was about to run out a few weeks ago, I wanted to try something new. Rapira Swedish Supersteel is the direction I took and glad I did!
I use them with a Merkur 25C open comb and very happy with the results. I shave every other day and so far there has been no skin irritation, and I haven't had to worry about attracting vampires as I haven't bled like crazy with these blades. What works for everyone is different, and these are great for me. The price for 100 is the cat's ass as well!!! :)
