Minora DE blades from Russia, made for export to South Africa..... I have 10 shaves in , with 10 different razors and 10 different soaps . This blade works well in any razor, it is smooth and forgving . The 10th shave was also smooth, but I found myself applying a little extra pressure to acheive the BBS I really crave , so I figure it's time to move on down the rotation .. A blade that holds up fine for 10 shaves and has a decent price for 100 hanger is a " best buy " in my book, a very enjoyable blade.
