Hi Guys
Recently purchased a tuck of Astra SS (Blue). The Superior Platinum is one of my favorite blades. But this stainless one feels just horrible. Lots of tugging, very rough on the skin etc. It barely cuts any hairs on my face. 3-4 strokes and I swapped it out for an Astra SP and it was like comparing day from night.
Now this one is made in Czech Republic and comes in a plastic. I thought all Astra blades are from Russia and packed in cardboard. So I was interested in trying these out. I must say, it's one of the worst blades I've ever used , along with Tiger which also comes from Czech Republic.
Does anyone else have any experience with these? Could it be that I ended up with a bad batch? I can't imagine a bad batch being as horrific as this. I'm afraid of loading another of these to be honest.
