Does not give close shave - the year-old blades I threw out were far better.
It was literally a night and day difference - the new blades immediately shaved far worse than the old, presumably worn-out blades.  This is the second time this has happened to me from this source - in Jan2019 I replaced the blades and had the same poor shave.  Lived with it because I was busy and hoped it might get better but it never did.  I ended up buying another set in Jan2020 (same source) and this set worked great all year.  Now, Jan2021, this latest replacement set once again gives lousy shave.
