Dorko Prime is no slouch!

[Bhugo]

Just tried one for the first time. I used it with TOBS Rose and my Gillette New Long Comb. What a nice sharp blade and really smooth too. My normal blade is an Astra SP. I think the Astra’s are a bit smoother on the first shave, but not by much. I’m looking forward to using it for a few days.

I have some of the new Derby blades inbound as well. I decided to go back and try a few that I liked before as well as some of the new blades out there.

Pretty cool that the companies are developing new blades!

I found both the Dorco Prime and the Derby Premium to be excellent blades.

Is there a shop that offers international shipping for these?

I bought mine on eBay. I bet you can find one on there.

The Primes are my favorite blade.

I enjoy primes, i like all of dorcos offerings, even the dirt cheap ones from vietnam. I need to give derbys another try, last time i tried them they didnt do anything, no hair reduction, just razor burn, but i hear they are kicking out decent blades now.

Continues to be a sharp blade.

I got 1,000 of them cheap, like @Daiku and am really happy with the blade.

At this point I've used them in everything from an OLD to a Krona. They are not only winners, but having stabilized at least one factor in the kaleidoscope mix of soap, razors, brushes, blades and aftershaves is giving me better perspective.

Thats how i am with gillette 7 o clock yellows, they work perfect in every razor i have tried it in, maybe every person has that one blade that was meant to be, unfortunately i have to cheat as i enjoy trying different blades.

I have heard good reviews on this blade and it is priced competitively. Would like a review after you have completed a tuck of these blades.

That’s an interesting point. I’ve used the Primes in my blue tip SS, my 34c, my Maggard MR1, and various styles of Techs, and doing so has helped me figure out the strengths of each razor, having eliminated one variable. I know those are all mild razors, which I prefer, but the Prime has been a great performer in them all. I really enjoyed the Prime in a mid-60s Tech.

 

[Ad Astra]

Lonvegivity of these, I cannot speak to, since I toss after six shaves. But they are giving stability to other variables, and they are certainly good / good enough.

The black derbys are great.

 

[Bhugo]

Impressed with the sharpness of Dorko Prime. Smoothness is not as good as my favorites, but a solid blade. I’ll get 100.

After I try these in my other razors, I’ll try the new Derby blades. I bought a tuck to sample.

I have found zero problems with the Prime. Prefer it over a Polsilver or a Personna.

I don’t have any personal experience with Polsilver, but considering that blade’s reputation, that’s high praise for the Prime.

Got the 100 pack of dorco Primes for $6.44 with coupon code at dorcousa.com see this thread:

What's Your Latest 100 Blade Purchase, And Why?

Still waiting for blades to arrive but at that price you cant go wrong. Im a big fan on ST-301 dorcos

Def try the PolSilver as soon as you can. For me its the best blade I ever used IN MY LIFE.

Have a new blade in an old fat handle tech now. Very smooth and comfy first shave.
