A Great Idea for a Newcomer,

This review is from: Double Edge Safety Razor Blade Variety Pack - 100 Blades! (Health and Beauty)
This is a great deal: buying this pack of 100 blades gives you 7 types of blades - if you look at this fact and think "I only need 1 type of blade; I can pretend to be happy with the largest amount I can buy at once," then consider the fact that all blades are made with different blade angles, manufacturing guidelines, etc. These blades give you both enough blades of each type to 'get used to' each, but not too many to regret if one type isn't for you. This is a much better idea than buying, say, 1,000 of some specific blade (say, 7 AM) and then realizing you can't get a good shave with it.
So why only a 4-star rating? Well, there's the 40 FEATHER BlueBird KAI GILLETTE ASTRA SHARK LORD DERBY Sampler Blades that has 20 types of blades, with 2 blades of each type. Honestly, this is probably a better idea for several reasons: It...Read more

Believe it or not, these blades all perform differently. This is a great way to be sure that your DE shave is all that it can be. I personally have settled on the "Sharp" brand blades.
Throw out that Makemecrazy3 or whatever those are called, spend a few more minutes giving yourself a treat in shaving.

The Sharks are by far and away the best blades here -- and they are outstanding; the Astras are not so good, the Sharps are thin and "skippy", the 7 a.m. Platinums have a weird tarnish, and the Crystal Supers look to be complete junk (I've used similar generic ones). I did not receive a pack of Israeli Personnas as pictured in the product shot but I think these Crystals are the same ones rebranded... which is sketchy. Most of these samples are all mediocre to poor; no Feathers or even Derbys in this bunch. I'd be suspicious of all the 5-star reviews on this page -- either people don't know what the hell they are talking about or there's a lot of shills; most of the "reviewers" go into zero detail about the blades themselves.
