This product works very well on my face, providing a very smooth and comfortable two-pass shave, which is my standard (I do not shave directly against the grain.) It seems to work best in fairly aggressive razors. No problems with nicks and no irritation. Very forgiving.
Usually, I'm satisfied with 3 shaves per blade, but generally these seem to last me for four. They always leave my face with that "rubbery" feeling. They are somewhat loud; but I consider that feedback rather than a criticism. They are sharp enough, but not as sharp as some. Since everyone's face and technique is different, this might NOT be the blade if you are into the four-pass BBS shave, but for all others I highly recommend trying these out. At the price, there's not much to lose here.
Until the recent massive price decreases in the cost of some of the best Russian blades, I would have considered these as a possibility as a candidate for "most bang for the buck." They are still an excellent value, even though there is now much stronger competition for that award due to the collapse of the Russian ruble.
