Used Astra SPs exclusively for my first 2 years of wet shaving, then tried many others and settled on GSBs, Nacets, Polsilvers, and Yellows. Really love all four of those and sold off my remaining Astra stock, save for a few tucks.
Just threw an Astra into my Rockwell on plate 4 for old time's sake and had a phenomenal shave. Honest to God, there is not a micron of hair left on my face or neck and I didn't come within a country mile of a weeper or nick. Smooooooth sailing every step of the way. Alum stick was pure radio silence and the aftershave had no sting.
Astra + Rockwell 6s =
Maybe I shoulda kept those Astras, they were the old ones with the black printing and less glue
