I stay far away from carbon blades, most of the ones I've tried new and vintage were pure torture.
Apparently, Balaka blades are advertised as follows:
Balaka carbon steel double edge safety razor blade is a very high quality international razor blade for feather soft multiple shaving of the face, head or body. This is the highest quality double edge safety razor blade of our product range.
However, the blades have a reputation of being the worst blades made in Bangaladesh.
Tried today durablade champion in red white packet I'm posting after 3rd shave and on 3rd shave was pulling after first pass was having to go over same place twice to get it to cut 1st shave was ok would not buy these again but will use up what I have but after 3rd pass no nicks so at least I did not cut myself

I don't have a funny description.
Interesting blades, thanks.
"Swiss Quality" but made in Bangladesh? I guess I don't see the connection. Is there any truth in advertising?

Swiss is referring to where the steel was sourced from: Sweden.
Last I checked Swiss and Sweden were not the same. Bad advertising or maybe they don't know English all that well. Anyway, I ordered a set of a hundred Champion blades from Razor Blades Club for a good price. Should arrive this week and I will get a chance to try them.
The Swiss, because of their long history of making precision watches, have always been known as a standard of quality.
I do not know whether the "Swiss quality" is simply a marketing gimmick or whether the machinery and techniques used in Bangladesh may have been imported from Switzerland.

You are right, my brain and eyesight aren't what they used to be. I hope you enjoy them but as a word of warning I loved the titanium but hated the hi chromium blades. Have yet to try any of the other varieties.

Awesome. I've used a few blades in my sample pack and so far none have beat the Sharp Titanium's performance. I will have to order a tuck of those when I put in another order to try.
The A-Best went straight to the bin from the first pass.
I will get the Sharp Durablade Titanium to see how it goes. I have good luck with Titanium coated blades in general.
OP, with which, known blade would you compare the Titanium?

Thanks for the enabling. Never had these on my radar. Now they are in my eBay cart. Ugh.

For me personally when I'm comparing blade feel against the skin and the end result (your experience could be different) - vintage: Personna super platinum chrome, modern: Gillette 7 o clock black platinums made in India.
Impressive. Seems a good one then. Thanks.

For me yes, I wasn't expecting much from it but was pleasantly surprised. I hope they work well for you too.
I received a tuck of the LOI Titanium Salon Blades in a sample pack. I really like them. In fact, I liked them so much, I bought a case of 100 blades.
I have some Sharp Titanium, Loi Titanium, Clifton Classic and Sharp Hi Chromium sitting in my den to try out. Glad to hear they are getting good reviews!
Good luck to you. Remember, razor blades are very much a YMMV product.
