Excellent blades,

This review is from: "Derby Extra" Stainless Steel Double Edge Razor Blades (Health and Beauty)
The Derby blade (made, I believe, in Turkey) is not the sharpest blade out there but, in my mind, achieves the perfect balance between sharpness and smoothness: Sharp enough not to snag on tough bristles, but not so sharp as to make cuts and soreness inevitable. 100 of these will give you over a year of shaves - I find I can get at least five shaves out of a single blade with no decline in quality.

Goodbye Cartridge Blades,
October 19, 2009 Tony Triolo (Athens, AL USA) - See all my reviews
Take it from someone who has suffered through approximately 45 years of the daily ritual of shaving, these are the best double edged blades you can buy for the money. Do yourself a favor and ditch the super-overpriced and under-performing cartridge razor "systems". After 25 years, I decided to go back to wet shaving, the method my father, who was a barber, taught me when I was a teenager. Only this time, I invested in a good super badger shaving brush, a Merkur safety razor and a good quality shave cream like Taylor's of Old Bond Street. The Derby Extra double edge blades puts the finishing touch to this unbeatable combination for the closest and most comfortable shave around.

Blade quality seems descent, value is awesome.,

This review is from: "Derby Extra" Stainless Steel Double Edge Razor Blades (Health and Beauty)
I mainly switched to DE shaving because of the price difference compared to upkeep for a Mach 3. Heh, well this is a good example. $18 for a year supply compared to $11 for a pack of 5 Mach 3 blades to last roughly a little over a month.. yeah.. The shave these give out is descent; much better though when compared to the Parasienne (or however it is spelled) blades I purchased at Wal-Mart. Oh, and just to put things into perspective, Mach 3 shaves are poor compared to these.
