In my quest to find a great German blade to go with my Merkur, Ive come across these beauties. Theyre cheap ($25 for 200 on Amazon), not to mention they have great balance of sharpness and smoothness. All in all, great blades. I think theyre going to become my go-to blades. I really like Timors too but theyre considerably more expensive than Cromas.
I use Croma regularly and I rely on them. They are very good and very smooth for me. That is a great deal @ $25/200; $0.12.5/blade. I spent about $0.30/blade on the ones that I have now.
