Thanks for your input everyone! I recently switched from Derbys to Sharks and I'm very satisfied with them.
They aren't really scary at all.....
I get a really good shave out of a shark, but for some, unknown reason I always get a little burn on my cheeks when going ATG with a shark.
Doesn't happen with Astra, Bleue Extra, Derby or Rapira. As long as I shave WTG and/or XTG I'm fine. Go figure.

Interesting. I'm testing a shark now, day two completed, 2nd great shave with my Gillette 3 piece Old-type and C.O. Bigelow. I'll have to watch tomorrow and see - one of the reasons I picked some up (cheap@westcoast) was because I'd heard they lasted.
How about 1200 blades for around 120 bucks shipped? plus free Arko?
I havnt tried these yet...and this isnt my website lol just thought what a great deal.

That is a good supplier btw...
Shark Super Chromes became my go-to blades after trying many others. They always last at least 3 shaves, and most of the time go 4. On several occasions, I've had them still shaving good for 5-6 shaves.
How would people rate them in sharpness when compared to a Derby?
I'm looking for something with a bit more slicing power that isn't as pricey as a feather.

How about Sharks vs Derby and Astra-SP?
Sharpness
1. Shark
2. Astra
3. Derby
Smoothness
1. Astra
2. Shark
3. Derby
The Shark is just a little sharper than the Astra and the Astra is just a little smoother than the Shark.
All 3 of these blades are close in all catagories though.I've ruled out the Derby's but switch between the Sharks and Astras.
IMHO, YMMV
It's my experience as well. I rate them between a feather and red personna. I got mine at westcoastshaving.com.
I just bought a few boxes as my Christmas gift from fellow B&B'er howard1616 off of eBay. 100 Super Chrome for $16.88~~Free Shipping~~!!! He has a store but has two different prices from his website and his ebay BIN prices.
I loaded a Shark blade into my new Merkur 39c slant, used Santa Maria Novella Pre-shave and cream, did a 3 pass shave, and it was one of the best shaves I have ever had.
Have you tried an Astra in the Slant yet?
I think Sharks are better than Derbys, but that's my opinion.
