These blades are both sharp and smooth and always give me a great shave with either a mild or aggressive razor. I find them very versatile and the price and service at Italian Barber is exceptional.
For me, the “Black Beauty” Carbon Steel blade feels great on the skin and very low irritation for daily use. The key to using a carbon blade is slowing down the speed— slow, longer strokes, steady; results can be great!
While the blade gives me average longevity the price is still excellent regardless of how long or short lived the blade. I not require a 1-2 use blade anyways so longevity isn’t my driving factor. However smoothness and enough efficiency is a key component being a 360 day per year shaver like me.
Give these blades a try and take the stroke-speed a little slower and I think you’ll like them!
