You lookin' for permission?!?$8.99 for 100 Clifton's . . . never heard of them before, but for the price
Yer as bad as me!
Looking to persuade myself! They're carbon steel, according to Amazon. I tried the Treet carbon blade and didn't care for it at all.
I once pulled the trigger on a 100 pack of Asco Platinums because they were $5.00 on Amazon. I was not disappointed. They worked well, but IMHO, they were just a bit shy of Lord Platinums/Shark Super Chromes. They also fell just a wee bit short of Astra SPs. But I'm glad I bought them, especially for $5.00.$8.99 for 100 Clifton's . . . never heard of them before, but for the price
I've never tried Clifton blades. The description on Amazon says they're made from carbon steel. Durablade's site says the same. While carbon steel makes for great pans and woks, I'm not sure I want to shave with a blade made of it. Contrary to Durablade's description, carbon steel does not resist rust well. I'd worry that insufficient drying of the blade would cause it to rust. I would not want to nick myself with a rusty blade.
If you're interested in trying one of Durablade's offerings, you might want to look into the LOI Salon Quality Titanium blade. It's my favorite blade of the ones I've tried so far. Of course, YMMV. Alternatively, you could try Durablade's Sharp Swiss Quality Titanium blades, which another member of the forum tried and liked.

Every time I see your new avatar I keep asking myself the same question, why is Dave accosting that poor woman on the elevator?
Lol!
Shark super chrome.

Astra SP are fine.

You can do the sniff test, if they smell sour you know the blade has gone bad.
This talk of Clifton blades made me think of this:

Shaved with a Shark Platinum today for Shark Week...expected a sub-par shave and was pleasantly surprised! Not bad at all...
If they’ve gone bad, PM me and I’ll give you the address of the Feather Blade Disposal facility.
Really like Silver Star, Lord Cool and Super Max Platinum on your list.
Have to also add, I really dispise Cliftons, they are bloodletters.

You have some nice ones there, my favorites from the ones I have used from your selection are the Lord Platinum, Rapira Platinum, and the SuperMax Platinum.

There’s only 2 on this board that I have not tried or recently bought and waiting for delivery. Yes I’ve got a bad case of BAD.
I hope it goes into remission soon.
Pleasant surprise was treet black beauty. My first ever carbon blade.
These are the ones I've tried.
Astra SP - Amazing. Easily my fav.
Lord Cool and Platinum - Relatively sharp but not as smooth as astra. Bad QC is a huge turn off.
Supermax - Total garbage. Only used it when I was starting out and don't care for it now. Sad thing is I still have plenty left.

Do your own shave. Enjoy. No one else has your face or shaves like like you.
If it were me I’d….

The only one of those that I’ve tried are the Astra SPs. They’re good blades but I prefer the Astra SS blades over them
The price is no bargain if you don't like the blades. I am halfway through 100 blades that in my experience are very good but not great. It irks me to have to use them up rather than loading blades I think are great.$8.99 for 100 Clifton's . . . never heard of them before, but for the price
True, but sometimes those risks are worth taking. I bought an 100-pack of Asco Platinums for $5 without ever trying those blades before. The shaves I got with the blades proved pretty good. While I preferred Lord Platinum blades over the Asco Platinums (I have no idea if they're actually the same blades but with different packaging and names for different regions), I'm glad I bought the $5 pack. At a minimum, I have more blades that work well with my beard and skin types.
Also, even if the blades didn't work out, it would've been a $5 trial. I've spent more than $5 on worse trials (e.g., MicroTouch One).
Treet's really surprised me. In a good way.

Whoa I hit a big surprise today. Treet cools arrived but looked funny. Upon closer inspection the entire package of 100 was soaked. It was wrapped pretty well in plastic but I cut the plastic off and the cardboard was all wet and everything was stuck together. Fortunately I applied for and was credited with a full refund. All in all a pretty disgusting
package.
