Item Description
This is a Turkish made blade and is considered the premier blade in Turkey.
They are sharp like a Swede or an English made Wilkinson but very reasonably priced if you can find them. In terms of a shave they are nice and smooth and are actually very close to the Swede's in overall performance, just not quite as smooth but there is not much in it. I have a very coarse beard and will only use the sharper blades and these are great for me. To put them into context I find Derby's dull and ineffective and these are a significant step up.
They come in two types of packaging, the plastic boxes shown which are the same as Derby boxes and also the little cardboard boxes like the Gillette 7 o'clocks ( which I prefer for environmental reasons ).
If you are mourning the loss of Swede's then I suggest you give these a try, they are an excellent substitute.
(Edit) I have been reliably informed that these blades are now owned by P&G and produced in St Petersburg Russia. I can also tell you that they are on a par, if not better than Swede's and I never thought I would say that.
