Very good blades, cuts well but not for long, I have a very tough beard and I can only shave a dozen times to the general max with 1 blade. In addition the lubricator pad is already dead after 3 or 4 shaves. Recently, I rather use disposable razors Hydro 5 because it cuts as well and just as long for significantly cheaper. Gillette made renamed its paid dearly I find, even if it is at present still the best razors, but the price difference is worth the candle still ??? Not for me anyway.
