For $5/100, I figure they are worth a try. I am not expecting much but maybe I will be surprised?
Good to know. I really liked the Lord Platinum Class blades. I also bought a 100 pack for $6.88 from Amazon when I bought the pack of Asco blades.
Oddly enough, my favorite blade so far is the LOI Titanium, which I received as part of a sample pack I purchased on Amazon. I think someone mentioned (elsewhere in the forum) that this blade is the same as the Sharp Titanium blade. All I know is that it's sharp and smooth enough for me and it lasts longer than other blades I've tried. Of course, YMMV.
For me, second to the LOI Titanium is the Lord Platinum Class. If the Asco Platinum is as sharp as but even more smooth than the Lord Platinum, then I'll be very happy.
According to Amazon, my shipment is due to arrive this Sunday. I'll probably end up trying out the Asco platinum next month or maybe in January. I just signed up to join the Viking Blade PIF so I'll probably try that blade before the Asco.My Asco platinum order came in yesterday. Will try them soon.
I haven't tried anything from the LOI/Sharp producers Samah in probably 15 years. I had a couple packs of Sharp Stainless that were just awful to use. I see they have new offerings as of lately, so maybe they got better.
Have you tried the Lord Platinum before? If so, how would you compare the two?Just shaved with the Asco Platinum blade for the first time in my EJ DE89. It wasnt as smooth as other blades i am used to but it was plenty sharp and I had no irritation. I think it's a great deal at $5/100 shipped and I will keep them in my rotation
For me personally Asco Platinum in DE89 woldn't do the job. I wouldn't put such a mild blade in the mild razor that is the DE89.Just shaved with the Asco Platinum blade for the first time in my EJ DE89.
