Dorco Red (Vietnamiese)

[Stan Marsh]

Is anyone familiar with the following blades?

I have searched the forum and found no information. These are neither ST-300 nor ST-301.

The thing that got me hooked in the first place is that one of the feedbacks in the famous Chinese site compares them to KAI blades... But I have love/hate relationship with Dorco's (esp. coming from China), so don't want to invest another XX amount of money.

Thank you!

yes.... interesting !

New to me!! Keep us posted if you decide to try them (PLEASE)!

Ordered for science.

For those unfamiliar a typical modern DE blade weighs only .55g +/-. If these are .80g they would be closer to a vintage Blue Blade (.90g) than a modern blade.

Less flex too? Interesting!

Exactly. Doesn't mean they'll be either sharp or smooth but we'll see how they do.

I think the " no linking " pertains to live auctions , not set store prices .....

I just looked at these on ali-x...Only one seller....Country of origin is not listed, writing on box is Cantonese......

I know you are saying something but red text is pretty much invisible on my black background. What's with that anyway?

I've been warned enough times about links I'm just gonna let y'all figure this one out. I thought AliExpress was a less than subtle clue.

Ed: Violet text? Seriously?

Correct. "To prevent abusive advertisement, no member shall direct other members, either through direct hotlink or indirectly through comments or other means, to any live e-Bay auctions or other auction sites."

All of Dorco's blades are made in Vietnam now, so I wouldnt doubt them. Theres always a risk ordering blades from China but it wouldnt surprise me if they were just rebranded ST-301s, which are quite good blades.

Something is fishy....the weight as shown is way heavy while the thickness is super thin. Does not compute.

Can you weigh one? My Dorcos weigh .57g which is a lot less than .80

Model number is ST-400

Hmm... I don't see this mentioned anywhere on the packing.

All the Vietnam Dorco blades I have tried are sharp & smooth for my medium beard type. I get 5-7 DF'S from them.
