I know these blades have been reviewed on this forum already. I recently found them at the PX on Fort Knox and for just under 15 cents per blade I decided I had nothing to lose but a buck forty nine so I picked up a ten pack. I'm pretty new to the DE razor and wet shaving. So far I've tried Merkur and Feather blades and I liked them both. The feather blades do seem a bit sharper than the Merkur blades, but both gave me a very nice shave. The Exchange Select blades are made in Israell and distributed through a company in Virginia. My first impression of them is that they are every bit as good as the Merkur and Feather blades that I have already tried. After reading several reviews on here I've determined that my face isn't nearly as sensitive or discerning as many others who post reviews here. Anyway, for those of you who are military and have access to these fine blades I recommend that you at least try them. For the money they are hard to beat and, for as long as they are available at the PX, they will be my go to DE razor blade.
