This Shark Shaves Superbly, A Great Value,

Shark Super Stainless blades are sharp, smooth and long lasting. The price is right, and since I'm getting a full week of shaves out of a single blade, the price per shave has me smirking every time I walk past the disposable cartridge displays at the local stores.
Perhaps you are just thinking about trying double edge wet shaving, maybe rebelling against the insane cost of cartridge blades, maybe tired of irritating, tedious shaves, maybe trying to connect with a bygone time, then these blades are a tremendous starting point.
If you are already wet shaving with a double edge safety razor, then these blades made by LORD of Egypt are well worth trying. Blade preference varies greatly among wet shavers, and I can't say that these will dethrone your current choice of blade, but I can say that they are a legitimate contender.
Shark Super Stainless blades come in a cardboard five pack, each blade double wrapped, with a very modest amount of adhesive on...Read more

Not my overall favorite, but still a VERY good value,

I decided to give the whole DE-shaving thing a try. After looking around, I ended up buying the Parker 96R razor because it reminded me of my dad's gillette from waayyyy back. I also ordered a 10-pack of Sharks (came with the Razor), a 10-pack of Merkur blades, and a 25-pack of Derby blades.
First note - the razor is solid, with a comfortable heft. It also closes up well - though not quite perfectly on both sides - and holds the blades nice and straight while making it trivial to pop a blade in or out.
As to the razors, my impressions after trying out (almost) 2 each. This was to ensure that impressions I had weren't just due to being a tyro. Even with the occasional nick, the shaves have been consistently close (except for the Merkur, I'd wake up the NEXT morning with a closer shave than I'd gotten out of some electrics).
Sharks - Nice, sharp, and I can get several shaves out of them before I start getting razor bumps, hair tugging, or "slips" due to...Read more

Not as sharp as a Feather, but sharper than most of the other brands. Works well, a few nicks getting used to them at first, but after trying a few brands I settled on these.
The sad thing is my review won't help you much. Your skin will determine what brand you want. The best way for me to help you is to say "They're much sharper than a Derby, a little sharper smidge than the Merkur blades but not as sharp as a Feather." Sort of on the high end of mid-range sharp. Which is about right for me.
Good luck, and stick with it. You'll find a brand that works for you.
