I'm just finished shave number three on my first ever red IP. I never judge a blade according to its performance on the first shave. To me, blades are like tires: they are designed to hit their peak after some use. This blade did not disappoint. Shave number one was good. Shave number two was better. The third use was incredible. Please note that shave two and three took place on the same day (morning & evening) with no irritation. Silky smooth in my Merkur Futur set at 2.5 for the first WTG pass, and dialed up to 3.75 for the next two passes (XTG & ATG). I used Castle Forbes cream brushed on with Fendrihan's best badger brush, with no preshave prep except a hot shower. I have tried many blades. This blade is exceptional. It's very thin and quite sharp. I love feathers, and only feathers, but this blade has got my attention. I'll order 100 on my next visit to Fendrihan. Wish I'd tried these sooner.

Great blades. More forgiving than Feathers, slightly smoother than Merkurs and still a very close shave. Two passes, never ATG and my face looks and feels great. Due to the price these are probably now my favorite blades.

After three months of shaving with these blades they are without a doubt the best bang for my buck. They aren't as sharp as Astra, but they last me twice as many shaves and leave me with no burn.

Precision have been my regular blades for about a year now. I find that they outperform Astra, which I had previously used, Derby, Lord, Dorco, and even Feather which, while sharper, are less forgiving. These good quality blades provide a consistently close shave. Rarely do I ever get a nick or cut and, if I do, it’s due to my carelessness. The price is right and, better yet, buying a pack of 100 reduces the cost even more! Two other observations. Precisions blades come 10 to a pack, not 5 as is the case with Astra and many other DE blades, thus reducing waste. And unwrapping the blade is unlike other blades I have used (First it’s a long side, then the two short sides, and finally the other long side.) and I find this involves less risk of a cut. These may seem small, even trivial points, but they go to show the thought that goes into producing these quality blades.

These are now my favorite blades now for shaving. So far I have used the Astra and Merkur blades and the Precision has came out top for me. You can feel a difference once you start using it and I love that feeling I get from using it. These blades also last just as long as the more expensive brands, so you'll be getting your moneys worth. So I would recommend these blades to anyone.

Wow, what a great blade to shave with. Used this about 5 mins. ago in my rotation of samplers. I had never even heard of this blade before. 2 passes was all I needed. I was about 3 days from my last shave and this was a close shave. Not as forgiving as the Astras, but nice and sharp, comparable to Feather perhaps.

I try different blade with my merkur 34 hd and they are so far the best blade I ever used. I got a really rough beard and sensitive skin and it the first blade I used that I can shave my face with only one pass. Most blade I try I generally have to do more then 2 pass on my chin and neck to get a really close shaving, but not those one. I usually change after 5 days, and that include one or 2 head shave also. For the price, they are the best. Only blade I didn't try on the site is the Feather. Can't wait to compare.

Used Precision blades for several months. Excellent blade for white beards. Holds up for seven days. Would recommend these blades.

Good shave and easy on the face but not as sharp or close as the feather. I am going to keep these on hand for those tired mornings when I don't want to work with something as sharp as the feather and these are less then half the cost!

The best combination of smoothness, sharpness, and longevity at this price point. Good value.

I was honestly shocked with these blades. Not a widely known brand name, no shiney glittery packaging; just amazing blades. (Plastic blade holder does have a used blade slot on the underside, these aren't cheaply packaged or anything) As others have accurately stated: No tugs, nicks, burning or irritation if you have your shaving technique right and good longevity at an amazing price/quality ratio. An excellent blade that has not only become my hands-down favourite with my skin, but one that I'd highly recommend to any shaver to at least try; especially if you're new to wet shaving and are looking for a forgiving and comfortable blade.

Great blades, no irratation, no shaving bumps, no rawness. I can easily get 5 shaves from these blades and they still feel good.

I was surprised how much I liked these blades. Found them very forgiving and comfortable. Usually used a couple of passes to get very close, without irritation. Lasted about 9 days on average. Great blade. My second choice after Derby

got these in a sampler. for me they are just half a step below astra and feather in terms of comfort. durability is excellent. i get 4-5 shaves out of the blade before my skin gets irritated.

Good combination of price and performance. Sharp enough but forgiving. I prefer Astra platinums or 7 O'clock greens, but would certainly recommend these.

These are pretty good for the price. For the actual quality of shave I would rate them ahead of Merkur, Dorco and Derbys, but behind Astras and Feathers.
