My premiere shave with the Gillette blade sold at Walgreens. 4 nice shaves, with the 4th shave the blade was failing to get close enough to smooth out that one very hard to shave spot on my right jawline.If it wasn't for that one rough spot I could have squeezes at least 6 shaves out of this blade.If I could buy a hanger for $15 - $18 ,I certainly would , but at 75 cents per blade in the Walgreens 9 pack it's just not an appealing deal...Wish I could get a hanger of the Brazilian Gillette Mejoradas to compare them with...The Brazilian Wilkinsons are far smoother than their German counterparts ,and Brazilian Schicks are also a decent blade.Most of the other Brazilian blades are rebranded ,and very good ,Treet blades..

Well glad to hear their at least good. Tomorrow I'm going to dig into mine and see how it goes.
Thanks for the review!! At least the blades worked reasonably well (even if expensive).

I don't have a funny description.
Where can one buy these in bulk?

I doubt you will find bulk ,even in Brazil...These little 3 blade packs usually are sold for travel etc. ,but not in 100 blade hangers..
Had my first go with one today, and it's not bad at all. Under par with Nacet but over par with Gillette Sword's if that helps.
I am between 7 and 10 shaves with them on average, but I tend to surpass 5 with most blades (including Feathers). Coarse beard but usually a light touch. I'm liking these a lot - at the price, a bit of a luxury however.
