Anyone using the orange box or red box ASCO blades?
About 1 1/2 months ago I read about ASCO (orange box-5 blades) blades in the blade review forum. Because of the review, I decided to purchase a 100, for $20, to try out. I have been shaving with them exclusively for the past three weeks and getting great shaves. (I shave almost every day) They are a little sharper/smoother then my IsraeIi Personna's. I have been getting about six shaves per ASCO blade. I only get about three shaves per blade with the Personna's. I decided I was going to stock up on 200 more of the ASCO blade.
I did a search to try to get a better price on the orange box blades. I found a source in Turkey for the ASCO, red box (10 blades) at about half the price I previously paid, (includes free shipping) for the orange box blades.
The price for the 200 blades I ordered from Turkey was $10.90 per 100 blades. For each hundred blades they will include the gift of an ARKO shave stick.
I think the ten blade, red box and the five blade, orange box blades are the same blade but I have not been able to confirm that.
Anyone else using the ASCO blades. What do you think? They have been working very well for me. YMMV
