Shark Super Stainless blades are sharp, smooth and long lasting. The price is right, and since I'm getting a full week of shaves out of a single blade, the price per shave has me smirking every time I walk past the disposable cartridge displays at the local stores.
Perhaps you are just thinking about trying double edge wet shaving, maybe rebelling against the insane cost of cartridge blades, maybe tired of irritating, tedious shaves, maybe trying to connect with a bygone time, then these blades are a tremendous starting point.
If you are already wet shaving with a double edge safety razor, then these blades made by LORD of Egypt are well worth trying. Blade preference varies greatly among wet shavers, and I can't say that these will dethrone your current choice of blade, but I can say that they are a legitimate contender.
Shark Super Stainless blades come in a cardboard five pack, each blade double wrapped, with a very modest amount of adhesive on the blade to hold the inner wax paper sleeve closed.
The consistency of these blades is excellent, and I've yet to run in to a bad blade. They are sharp, not as sharp as the fabled Japanese Feather, but sharp enough to deal with tough beards. They give me a smooth, comfortable shave in a variety of vintage Gillette and Schick razors. They shave well the first time out, and they keep performing for a week of daily shaves. They might go beyond that, but at the price point I just make it a habit to change blades on Sunday.
I'm not a blade snob. I get good shaves with American Safety Razor Personna blades, Korean Dorco blades, German Wilkinsons, Turkish Derby blades, Japanese Feathers and more. The Sharks simply perform as well or better for me as many blades costing a lot more. They make shaving a pleasure, and deliver that sought after "baby butt smooth" shave when I do my part.
A hundred blades should see me through two years of shaving every day, and I do shave every day, even on the weekends because wet shaving has made this a pleasure rather than an irksome chore. I no longer have razor burned skin, and I don't feel like I'm getting nicked just paying for replacement cartridges!
Great performance, great value. Give these Sharks a shot!
