Item Description
I ordered a few small packs of these, treets, and gems to give my micromatic a spin. Of the three these would have to be the best for me. they are exactly the same as the treets (ASRCO 009RD), but they are blued steel as opposed to plain carbon steel. They have the coolness factor advantage! Looks aside, these are a good bit sharper and smoother than the gem stainless blades, with a bit of a loss in the longevity. I get 3-4 shaves on one blade with hand-stropping, as opposed to ~5 with a gem. As has been stated many times before, a quick rinse in rubbing alcohol will help prevent rust. The dispenser is convenient, and has a bank, but i much prefer the individually wrapped blades that fit in my damaskeene blade box. Overall you are hard-pressed to find a better blade than this at the price (~$2.50US /10) :star:
