Guarded de blade

Found these blades on AliExpress. 10 blades for about $1.7 plus shipping. Thought I'd give em a try. Tried one in my Rockwell 6c plt5. The #5 plt is not a plt I can shave everyday with. I ended up with a nice smooth shave with no irritation. Three passes with, across, and against the grain. Some buffing also. I would rate it as a DFS. The against the grain wasn't as close as I usually get with plt4 but the trade off was less irritation. Tomorrow will try this blade with plt6.

2nd shave with the Gutche guarded blade. Plt6 on the Rockwell 6c. Noticably closer then plt5. One weeper under the chin from to much buffing but no irritation. Not sure how to rate this blade on sharpness. I haven't experienced any tugging or pulling but do have to do some buffing to get desired closeness. It is a smooth comfortable blade. As always your results may very.
Thinking these blades might work well in a shavette.
