    I just tried these blades today and got an excellent shave, very close and smooth. They performed just as good as Silver Blues in my DE89. I may just have to get a 100 pack of these to keep in my rotation. These were the ones made in India btw, not the Chinese ones.

    I got a pack from maggards with my last order. They were only $1 for a pack, glad I tried them too. Italian Barber sells the 100 packs.

    I've tried the German ones and for me the Indian ones are better by far.

    Funny how much YMMV holds true. The Indian Wilkie has been the only blade I couldn't even finish 1 shave with.

    I have a hundred pack of them. I think they are German. I find the first shave isn't the best but it really is brilliant on the second and third shaves. It is a good blade at a good price which seems to work well with all my razors.

    I've liked the Wilkinson blades that come in the white plastic container. The black one they sell at Wal-Mart I found okay but not as good.

    I agree - they're very good! Mine were made in Germany.

    Wilkinson blades are the only ones I've ever used, didn't know about all the other blades until recently. Been using the German made ones recently, my wife found a place that had 5 blade packs for .99 cents. She bought all eleven packs they had.

    I haven't tried those (indian I belive) but I used the German ones exclusively for some time and they 're pretty good.

    I find the German Wilks to be the most comfortable and consistent blade to date...

    I am finishing off my Walmart Wilkies. Too bad they quit carrying them. It is a good blade for me.
