Painfully pulls on beard hairs= garbage!
These blades are garbage. I rarely give bad reviews but I hope I save somebody their money and help them to avoid pain and suffering.<br />I had high hopes that these blades would be a good replacement but I'm disappointed. These Chineses knock-offs look like the real thing and they were a good value so I bought them. I read many reviews that said that they gave a very good shave and a few reviews that said that they did not. For me they did NOT. I don't have a really tough beard and I don't shave everyday. But these blades really must be dull since they pulled my 2 day old beard hairs like crazy. It was very painful but I kept going. And I kept having to shave over the same spot several times to get an even, smooth shave.  So I ordered a bottle of pre electric shave lotion to see if that would help to soften my beard and to give me a smoother, less painful shave. NOPE! These blades are duller than the 2 year plus blades that they replaced which, despite their age, rarely yanked the hairs unless my beard was about 5 days old. I'm glad that I didn't toss the old blades, they were very dirty but I kept them just the same. So, I cleaned the old blades in alcohol and put them back in. Voila! It was like my shaver was new again.<br /> I don't recommend these cheap knock-offs unless you like pain or shave everyday so that the hairs don't get long enough to be pulled. I do suggest that you let your old blade soak in some alcohol and use a tiny bristle brush to clean them. You might luck out like me and hopefully extend their life.
