Super-Max Diamond Edge Double Edge Razor Blades, 100 blades

Shave with cold water splashNo pre shaveUsed Hajamat Scythe razor (perfectly balanced close comb) with Supermax diamond edge - superb combination (for me)Note - blade on its 1st use today and was craving for some diamond edge. This razor to blade combination has time and again made me realise and introspect what I miss in every other blade. Either too smooth or too mild or too sharp or just not durable enough. This is my comfort shave - a Ghar wapsi.Vi John shaving cream (classic - a no brainer after a long long tiring day - it does everything right m) applied using Yintal wooden handle shaving brush (natural- silvertip badger) - face latherNote - the brush is and has been the brush for the weekFirst pass - with the grainSecond pass - across and with the grain on the neckAlum block (none)The post shave included a splash of Nivea aftershave lotion (fresh, a bit of a sting in one area of the neck with a persistent zit+ shave bump) followed by the application of MensXp aftershave balm (tea tree - calming and mildly cooling)A comfort shave!I'm on Instagram as @okiedokie_coolJoin the reddit group - Wetshavers_IndiaCongratulations to the giveaway winner!!!

I’ve tested nearly every brand out there. I keep coming back to these… Consistent, sharp, smooth, every time. Gone through hundreds these past few years, zero complaints.

Very inexpensive and very good. I went through a sampler once and found only a few blades worked for me. I have a **very** coarse beard. I had a pack of Super-Max with my razor and ironically I found them as good or better than those in my sampler. They were close to the Feathers.So, I bought 200 SuperMax blades, lower designation than this, and worked through them over a few years. Then I decided to try these, 'higher end' Super-Max. I /think/ they're higher quality. It's often hard to judge since so much varies shave-to-shave.In both cases with the SuperMax blades I feel like some blades are better than others. When they're good they're outstanding - very sharp, very good shave. When they're less good they still stand up ok to most other blades, but they're not as good.

Not fit for any purpose, not worth the shipping to return, I hope it was okay to throw them away in the trash.

These blades are much more variable in quality than other blades. One of the tucks of 5 will give you the best shave of your life, while the next will make you bleed like a stuck pig. At first I thought there had to be something I was missing, like my face was less receptive some days, but nope; just poor quality control.When they're bad, you're gonna feel it. Thing is, they're so cheap ($0.10 each) that you can switch to a new one when you feel your face getting torn up.Overall, I'd recommend these pretty strongly, if you know how to work around the quirks.Edit: Changed to 3 stars. These are just really, really bad. I have razor burn at least twice a week that I don't experience with any other brand. The only reason it's not a worse review is because they're cheap and sometimes I do get a really good shave.

I've been using these for years, and they consistently give me a good shave. I chose these after trying out a sampler of 20 different brands and grades.
