Interested in trying a carbon blade. Has anyone tried these:

[keithmax]

I want to try a carbon razor blade, my first choice is Treet but the shipping as substantially to the expense. For the price of a small order of Treets and the shipping I could order 100 Flying Eagle blades. They claim they are black carbon steel. Given their origin I am suspicious.

Has anyone tried these?

That sounds cool as hell. Black carbon. Damn.

I haven't tried the carbon ones (74-C), but I do have a pack of the stainless (74-S) and this thread inspired me to finally try one after sitting on them for quite a few months.

This isn't quite the information the OP was looking for, but the stainless one I used this morning was better than I expected. I loaded one into my Cadet TTO (been getting great shaves with this lately) and it wasn't quite as smooth as I would have preferred, but it was decent and I got reasonably close with only a little bit of irritation and couple of minor weepers.

It would be interesting to see how the carbon blades compare. Now I'm kind of tempted to order some of those and find out.
