Mediocre for me, but YMMV
I tested these under a number of use cases and noted how long the blades remained effective (clean shave, non-nicking) for:<br />[benchmark: 4-5 good shaves per edge with Astra Platinum]<br />Dry shave (2/edge)<br />Dry shave after a hot towel (2-3/edge)<br />Wet shave - soap (2-3/edge)<br />Wet shave - cream (3/edge)<br />I personally prefer to dry shave after a hot towel in the interest of minimizing hassle on frequent camping trips. Worth noting, I have a medium-coarse beard and sensitive skin, so I prefer very sharp blades rather than medium-sharp like these. I'm not really impressed with the polymer coating - it doesn't glide as well as blades using other finish coats (and notes on the blade that you're not to wipe dry - likely as it'll only accelerate roughening the polymer coat to to the skip-and-nick stage).<br /><br />Sadly, it only took me one pack of blades to determine these aren't for me. The second pack I'll relegate to emergency spares, for when some shave is better than none.
