Nothing about this blade is commendable. I have an average beard and not too sensitive skin. This one is very rough on the skin, dull on the whiskers and generally, very poor quality. Not up to Gillette standards at all. I always compare new blades to my daily blade (Personna Blue) which each give me 6 excellent shaves per week per blade. I barely got two very mediocre shaves out of this blade. It's so cheap that is only printed on one side. I use a witch hazel/Aloe/vitamin E oil blend as after shave lotion and even it burned after shaving with this blade which has not been the case with other blades. I cannot recommend this blade no matter how inexpensive they are.
