I am on my second week using Racer's and loving them. I got 6 shaves out of the first blade and am on shave 2 with the current blade. I can't believe how sharp and smooth these cheap little blades are on my face. As always YMMV
Anyone else love the Racer blades?

I recently picked up a birth year SS from Krona Kruiser (in phenomenal shape btw) and he threw in a pack of Racer blades. I'm looking forward to giving them a spin. It's really a classic case of so many blades, so little time...
Happy shaving

good shaves for me !
And yet another Lord blade that delivers; yes, the Racers are fine!
I've got 10 at home, but haven't tried them yet. They seem to be liked by those who try them.
I love Racers. They are in my top tier, along with Personna Med Preps/Labs, Greens (Indian Permasharps), Yellows (7 O'C SharpEdges), and Russian Perma-Sharps.
I got a pack from Krona Kruiser with a recent razor purchase as well. Tried one the other day and it was very smooth and resulted in a great shave, can't speak for longevity as I don't use any DE blade for more than a couple shaves. I like having a fresh sharp blade regularly for all the more they cost.
Where is a good place to buy them from ?
Bestshave.net. However, they're out right now...http://shop.bestshave.net/100-racer-super-stainless-de-razor-blades-p-97.html
Good straight forward blade. Does what it's supposed to. Like many have said, too many blades too little time. I like my Russian blades a little more but having a small stockpile of Racers is consoling.
Thanks I like the Lord blades so far I have Shark and Plats but I will have to order these and give them a try
I tried my first Racer on Derby Day, very smooth & comfortable for 3 shaves, #4 & 5 were rough. I'm not complaining since I normally change blades after the 3rd time, but I usually push the first of any brand I try, testing longevity.
If you try Asco, make sure they're the Orange wrapper variety. I got a pack of the Asco reds as a free sample with an order, and they are at the bottom of the Lord range, along with Big Bens and Crowns. The Racer is mid-range in the Lord line, and it works for me, though I like Sharks better. I've only tried one Asco orange some years ago, and my technique has changed since then, but from what I've read, the Asco orange is better than a Racer, maybe more like a Shark.
