I bought a 10 pack in the black plastic dispenser when on vacation last week and I have used a blade twice. Yesterday's shave had me thinking that it was as bad as a Dorco, Merkur, or Derby blade; the worst blades I have used in my 34C. It pulled on the whiskers and left stubble behind. My cheeks were a bit irritated as well. I settled for a two pass shave and figured I'd try agin today. Today's shave, with the same prep (shower) and software (Lavanda cream) and brush (a two band finest knot), resulted in a much smoother pass of the blade over the skin. The shave went as well as it usually goes with an Astra SP. So...
