5 Astra (Green) Double Edge Safety Razor Blades

I have tried the Russian made Astra SP Green blades and found them to be both sharp and smooth; not as sharp as Gillette Platinum or Feather but sharp enough to get the job done. The Russian made blades are smooth.

The Indian made Astra SP Green blades are sharper than the Russian made blades but they are NOT as smooth. They are less forgiving than the Russian blades.

This is unfortunate as I cherish smooth blades. I will not be buying Astra SP Green blades again. Your mileage will of course vary.

Excellent blade for those second to third day shaves.

Not overly aggressive yet, not a wimp on tough facial hair.

A must have in any shave den as the change of seasons effect the skin which will effect the blades you'll need to have.
