Customer Reviews of Derby Extra Double Edge Razor Blades - 25 Ct
Customer Review: Excellent, however...
Summary: 5 Stars
... before I switched to D/E shaving three months ago, I read tons of reviews on both D/E razors and blades, and regarding the latter I found that opinions vary widely: some will swear that Derby blades exemplify perfectly the adage "you get what you pay for"; that Derby blades are only moderately sharp to begin with, dull quickly, and/or drag on the face and cause tons of little nicks.
As the first reviewer stated, those new to D/E shaving would be best served by purchasing a blade variety pack, to see which brand works best for them. I myself sampled several different brands, such as:
1) 7 AM -- These came with the 91R Parker Razor I purchased from Amazon, and were the first blades I used as a D/E shaver. At first use, I found them unsatisfactory; they seemed to drag on my face. Such impression was confirmed when, having used some other brands, I again tried a 7 AM blade just to make sure. An unqualified thumbs-down.
2) SHARP -- Not as bad as the 7 AM blades, but unsatisfactory; they did not feel at all comfortable on my face.
3) Feather -- Going by the reviews, Feather blades are the top of the line, super-sharp and long-lasting. However, many reviewers advised that those new to D/E shaving should begin with other, more "forgiving" (i.e., less sharp) blades. I followed this advice, and sampled a Feather blade about two weeks after I'd started D/E shaving, at which point I found them too sharp. Around a week ago, after about two-and-a-half months of D/E shaving, I gave Feather another try and reached the same verdict: Feather blades cut me more than any other blade I tried. I'm not sure I'd say they "nicked" me, rather they gave such a close shave as to shave skin along with hair.
4) Derby -- I only had five of these, and used them when I'd just begun D/E shaving. Thus, while I didn't have a bad impression of them, I didn't really remember if they were good or merely decent. In any event, the last time I used a Feather blade, my face was pretty sore. Having nothing left but Feather, SHARP, and 7 AM blades, I used my old Mach 3. Although the Mach 3 cartridges are prohibitively expensive and quick to dull, they are gentle on my skin. As it happens, it was good that I chose to use it that day, as it provided a close, comfortable shave that served as a perfect baseline for comparison when my new Derby blades arrived two days later. The verdict: for me, Derby blades are as good as, if not better than, Mach 3 blades; they give a nice, clean shave that is close but extremely gentle on the face -- no nicks, and no shaved-off skin.
