Item Description
I tested these blades straight after using Merkur blades for a month. And I must say, these are way smoother and more forgiving.
Price: the cheapest around
Quality: performs very well for the first two time, but looses sharpness afterwards
Sharpness: almost as sharp as the Merkur blades, but way smoother and forgiving - no nicks or irritation for the first two shaves
Longevity: as mentioned before, the good performance lasts for two shaves, after the third shave minor irritation and some nicks appear - the same after the forth (that is how far I pushed them)
Smoothness: smoother than the Merkur blades, and still gives a shave as close as the Merkurs
Packaging: poor, very poor. 10 pieces come in a cardboard box, wrapped in the outer coloured paper and a wax paper (that does not fully cover the blade, but covers the edges) inside. No disposal rack added.
To sum up all being said, it is a good starter blade. Dirt cheap, sharp - giving a smooth shave - and forgiving with the newbie.
Gonna try the other kind of Lord blades for sure!
