Time for a review on the blade that Batman uses. Well these blades are one or the other, love em' or hate em'. Seems to be no middle ground. I love them so much I renamed them the Mottern Blade Anyways, no they do not last long, 3 shaves for me. They are gentle enough to shave a baby yet sharp enough to shave a yeti. And for the price only getting 2-3 shaves is still a good deal! Discuss! http://www.theshaveden.com/forum/showthread.php?p=89283#post89283
This is truly an antique blade. It requires treatment after each shave or it will rust. Not my idea of a good blade.
I love these blades. They are my traveling standard. I just use a blade once and when I'm done with it I just throw it away.
Absolutely right: you either love them or hate them... ... and I happen to hate them. I don't know if it was a sampling issue, but not even one out of five made it to my taste. One of the worst blades I have sampled so far. Horrible!
Decent Blade, bad Rust I get pretty good shaves with this blade. The only downside is the rust and I don't have alcohol handy to rinse the blade in. For a once and done, I think these work fine.
I've never had a rust issue with these blades nor have I ever treated them with alcohol after use. They are OK, and I'll use them when I run out of the blades I like but they just arent sharp enough for me. Too much tugging.
Surprising Previous Comments Received a yellow packaged treet blade as a sampler from Razor and Brush. Super lathered with col conk, specik and proraso. Inserted blade in a merkur slant. The blade cut almost as close as a feather and was smoother than a derby. Excellent shave. Very surprising previous comments. Packaging looks different from the blade I used. For newbies highly recommended. Extremely forgiving.
Change After a great first shave the second shave was bad razor burn atg in the throat area. Stay away.
For the price, I am forced to give a high mark, because I got for nothing, some from these blades. I find they made problems badly for my skin, and I also found they did not have good lasting.
I didn't think this blade was all that bad. Certainly not as sharp as Sharps, my go to blade. I had no problem with rust. Though I think the black color of the blade would make that a bit difficult to see, but I dunno. I had no razor burn or irritations from this blade.
JoAnna, my skin is fragile, and very easy to get. To make it worse, my beard is like when I get up in the morning like a man who didn't shave for 3 days, and hard like a wire....
Aaargh! Ok they seem to be sharp - a carbon steel blade should in theory have a sharper edge...but left my face sore and did not remove all the stubble. Just don't work for my skin.
