G.B.S Pack of 50 Extremely Sharp Blades

First of all, I “assumed” I was getting all Merkur blades and I was not a happy camper until I read the description that I DID NOT do which means that’s on me, not the seller! So stop bagging on the seller! Next... You are getting Merkur blades with a collection of the best blades made for a price The is cheaper than if you bought them anywhere else! And what wet shaver doesn’t switch out blades on a regular basis? All wet shavers know that a mans face adapts to a blade and stops shaving we’ll for awhile (except the venerable Gillette super stainless “Spoiler” blade they stopped making in 1989: This is a good deal! I like a small variety pack on hand for that very reason and this is a great selection at a great price! Also happy to see Derby quit selling those dull platinum blades from the start of the wet shaving craze (doesn’t apply to me; been using double edge since 1968 and never changed). Now their multi-coated blades compete with Wilkinson Sword and are great, used one this afternoon and loved how they glide. Best platinum is still Astra imho. And two Feather packs; sharpest blade on the market and smooth. I’m happy with my mistake and will in fact buy from this seller again!

I own a Merkur DE safety razor and had been using the Merkur blades since the beginning. However, after reading about others, I wanted to try out some different blades. This pack fit the bill and I've discovered a couple of other brands and their different qualities. To each their own, if you want to try out different blades, grab this pack. You can come back to Amazon and pick up a huge pack of your favorites once you have a preference.

Okay, I too thought I had ordered strictly Merkur Solingen blades. I love my Merkur razor and have been using the original blades. But I must support the vendor here, if you swipe across the photos, there are the other blades. Looking further, the seeker does accept returns. Thus, you get my thanks and a positive review! Looking forward to comparing the different offerings. Looks like the Astra are Russian, Dorco is a well known Korean maker (isn't this "Dollar Shave Club"?), and the Feather I haven't looked closely at as yet. Thanks for the surprise, though that wasn't entirely your fault, hehe. Will let you know how I find these blades in comparison.

I assumed when I purchased that I would be receiving 50 high-quality merkur blades. But I was wrong. I received only five merkur blades, and 45 blades of extremely poor quality. Buyers beware!! They use a photo of merkur blades to lure you in, and send you a bunch of worthless cheap blades. I am thoroughly unhappy with this purchase!

As others noted, I thought I was getting 50 Merkur blades only to find that wasn't the case. There is a pack of 10 Merkur blades and the other 40 are of assorted brands. I am keeping it to try out the variety enclosed, as I am new to double edge shaving, but I do think that the item description is misleading. I doubt I would order this item again.

I ordered this item thinking it was Merkur blades. It turned out to be a variety pack. The pack includes 1 box of Merkur, 2 boxes of Astra, 2 Boxes of Feather Hi Stainless 2 boxes of Derby and 1 Dorco HQ Now I have been shaving with a safety razor for about 10 years, I have found through trial and error that Merkur blades are very well made. However I decided instead of sending this pack back I would just give them a try once again. Every shave with the Feather, Derby or the Dorco are quite possibly going to leave you bloody, at very least with serious razor burn. The Astra have given me as close a shave, without the razor burn or nicks that i normally recieve with Merkur blades. By the way, I have been shaving with a Double Edge Safety razor for nearly 15 years, I am old enough that my first razor was a Gillette twin blade, I celebrated our country's 200th birthday, and remember Billy Beer (I wasn't quite old enough to drink it though).

I purchased this blade "variety pack" even after reading all the negative reviews and i'm content with them. I chose this pack after doing some research and found these particular blades to be some of the better quality blades. since i just purchased my first single blade safety razor, i wanted to do a little experimenting to find the blades that suite me. I have only made it through two of them but so far they are great. In my case, there were no substitutions but they do warn that it is possible.

It is going to take me a long time to go through this lot and try out the various brands for one I like . I chose this pack as I think the brands are a little higher quality than others I looked at . Having a variety pack is a great idea and I try and select top brands from various country's ,this pack fitted my search .
