Derby Premium Double Edge Razor Blades, 100 Count

Fantastic, smooth, sharp, but slightly mild blade. My preferred choice in slightly more aggressive razors. I use this blade daily .. it is that good! My other daily user is the outstanding Astra Superior... sharper, but not QUITE as smooth.You can't go wrong with this one. Strong recommendation.

These are really nice blades, and a fantastic value. I've gone through about a dozen blades so far, and I feel like I'm getting a more comfortable shave than with other brands.These Derby blades aren't spooky-sharp the way Feather blades are, but that also means they're more forgiving. If I breathe wrong while using a Feather blade, I'll wind up with a nasty cut. But these Derby blades feel a lot more forgiving, while still being plenty sharp enough to provide a close, comfortable shave.I don't have an extremely coarse, heavy beard, and I get 3 or 4 days of shaves out of each blade. I do have sensitive skin, and shaving with these blades leaves me with a lot less irritation and a cleaner shave than some other blades I've tried (Feather, Van Der Hagen, Merkur), and for a fraction of the price!

These are very nice and consistent blades. They last me 4-5 shaves each. They are not scary sharp but very sharp and coated. I'm using them in a Merkur Futur clone and they're performing very well.

The majority have been great, paired with my Viking Chieftain Jr or my Jagger DE89. I’ll definitely buy these again. My only complaint is that I got a burr/bent corner on one that cut pretty badly and unexpectedly. I’ve been double checking them since and haven’t seen another, so this was probably a very rare edge-case (no pun intended).The third shave is usually a little disappointing, so I stick to two per blade. They’re cheap enough I don’t mind at all.

I purchased a 100 pack a few years ago and used several of the blades with great results. I recently went back to this blade after 2 Years of not using it due to the fact that I have thousands of other blades. I forgot how wonderful this blade truly is in any razor. I have about 40 blades left from my 100 pack and will definitely order more once I go through them. I highly recommend them. I get 3 optimum shaves with the blade which includes several days of beard growth every time I shave. I can even push this to 4 shaves. One blade will last me at least 1 and a half weeks. For the price perhaps only the Gillette Wilkinson blades made in India is the only blade that beats it value wise. Just pick up a 100 and you will be glad you did.

I've been holding off on writing this review, so I could give them a good tryout. In the past years, I have used all of the usual suspects - Feather, Shark, Rapina - the list goes on and on. I was never really happy with any of them. Some didn't shave well, some didn't last but a few shaves, some were dull right out the box. You all know the story. On a whim, I decided to try Derby Premium in the black box. I do better with platinum coated blades, and these had that - plus chromium, tungsten and polymer. Everything but Rain-X. They were cheap on Amazon, so I went for them.Surprise, surprise, they're REALLY good! I get a close, smooth, shave and they last an entire week without stretching it. I know everybody's face is different, but if you're unhappy with your blades, try Derby Premium in the black box. Even if they're not the best blades your personal face has ever felt, they won't suck and they're totally worth the money spent.

Loses sharpness quickly after two or three shaves

You probably have done what I've done, tried several blades to find your go-to's. I heard these were good and tried them. They're sharper than their sister blades the Derby Extra which is my quick daily blade. But as smooth. I have other blades that I like but these are good daily blades, slightly sharper which is nice for a close close shave.
