Yes.
Good luck and be sure you have some balm left somewhere before you start! Let's say the brand name is a bit optimistic; the Blunt-Extra Rough doesn't sound too good, but would be more fitting.

I get it, crap blades from Bangladesh!
Well I think they are better than the 7A.M.'s from the same plant. It is not impossible to shave with them; I used up a 5-pack of both but I do think it is a waste of time, money and material. That still doesn't mean that you can't get some nice shaves out of them with keeping YMMV in mind.
No way I'll purchase those again; even for free they are too expensive for my taste. But hey, some folks love Derby so there must be some liking these blades as well.
My face and whiskers did not get along with this blade - at all.
Brings back memories of the pain filled experience I had with these!!!
Sharper than Derby and Personna Red's for me. Just not as comfortable. I like the red more, and the derby way less.
I started out with 100 of these years ago. This was my baseline razor in decerning the qualities of every other razor blade out there.
For me blades perform differently depending on the razor. This razor is better in a more aggressive razor for me.
All in all, there are WAY worse options out there. Just as there are WAY better options out there. For me it is more middle of the road than say a derby is.

Here I am.
I really like this blade, today I tried it again on Fatip grande.
With this razor combination the blade feels a lot however it doesn't scratch or reveal its aggressiveness.
At the end of the shave once again no cut,wound or irritation.
Very good this blade.
Too bad where I found them says they are out of stock and no longer coming to them, I'm afraid the second package I bought will be the last one I will use.
I also tried to see online on websites that sell razor blades even in America I could not find them.
If you know someone who sells them Sharp Stainless let me know otherwise I will try to check other types of Sharp that are more easily found in the western market.
An 11 year old thread and the member you quoted is deceased.
I realize now.
I am very sorry,sir.
I am very sorry,sir.
I was looking for reviews on the Game Changer razor, but maybe you might find this video interesting also. The presenter is using the Sharp 7AM Platinum and he gives his opinion that it is slightly sharper than the Gillette Perma-Sharp! I immediately looked for some on Amazon and it appears prices have risen at least temporarily after the closeout sales last week, but I expect some will be available in a few weeks at normal prices (approximately $9/100). Maybe it is cheaper on the Italian website.
Anyway, I hope this is of interest.
Thank you very much sir for your advice.
I am beginning to think that the Sharp 7 AM is the one that comes closest to the build and material quality of the Sharp Stainless.
Well then because I recently on Amazon ordered a nice block of these Sharp 7AM on and they will deliver next week.
I look forward to getting them and comparing the differences.
At this point there is no point in rehashing old posts looking for information on Sharp Stainless blades, in this forum the last users who have tried them go back to posts just under ten years ago.
Many of these users haven't even joined the forum for some time now so there is no point in continuing to ask and search for information on Sharp Stainless.
Forgive me for rehashing a very old discussion by quoting the post of a now deceased gentleman,I had not looked closely at the profile.
Very sorry.
The Bengali store in my town has been stocked with more of my favorite Sharp blades, today he informed me that they will always be coming to him.
Over the past few months I have been comparing them to the Sharp 7 AM Super Platinum blades, although I liked them initially, but compared to the regular stainless steel Sharp blades for me they are inferior.
With the bad 7 AM blades I get irritation and cuts every time I use them.
I also confirm with those who wrote that Sharp stainless steel are better than the 7 AM
I will forget these Sharp 7 AM blades both Super Platinum and Sharp 7 AM Hi Platinum,I will not buy them from America by paying more for them.
@Pinto90 RBC doesn't sell those, so I don't have access to them. The guy in that video I mentioned months ago has a far different opinion than me, now that I have tried the 7AM Super Platinum. They are nowhere near a Gillette Perma-Sharp for sharpness!
That said, I find them the best out of the Durablades I have used so far: 7 AM Super Platinum -> Hi Platinum -> Titanium -> 7AM Plus Hi Platinum. And of course the Treet Dura Sharp is better than all of them, if I am shopping in the bargain aisle!

The stainless steel Sharps do not have much success and demand from enthusiasts in my opinion, which is why RBC does not sell them however in the U.S. I have seen online stores selling them.
The Dura Sharp I'll try when we finish the Balin blades, I have yet to try both the Treet Dura Sharp and the Treet Falcon and Treet Carbon Steel blades.
The Black Beauties I've read that they can hold two shaves at most especially because of the danger of rust forming on the edge of the blade, the Treet Dura Sharp you were up to about twenty shaves if I remember correctly?
I would also only need 3 or 4 shaves with one blade.
31 shaves on the Dura Sharp. It takes 3 passes now for me to get a close shave with it, but I enjoy it occasionally when I have lots of time to go three passes and do not rush. I still have it and may make use of it for next year's One Blade in February challenge.
I sort of want to see how many shaves I can get before it simply won't cut my whiskers anymore. I also acquired a TwinPlex razor blade stropper and will use it on the Dura Sharp when it reaches that point.
I don't think razor blades rust if you disassemble your safety razor and clean and dry everything after every shave like I do. I bought a used Gillette Superspeed (red tip) from a state government store, and the previous owner was one of those guys who keeps his blade in the razor until he switches blades. It was very gross. No offense intended to anyone that does the same thing.

I believe this was the instruction that Gillette used to print on TTO razor boxes - don't take the blade out, just shake off the excess water.
Not according to this instruction booklet. It says to remove the blade, dry it in a folded towel and store it in the paper wrapper.
Antique Gillette Instruction Booklet Question
I have a question for you seasoned Gillette lovers. I have posted photos of a Gillette instruction booklet that I cannot seem to figure out what set it goes with. It is the booklet on the left. I posted it alongside a double ring instruction booklet to show the difference. First it has “How to...
