I purchased some Chinese Flying Eagle blades for a good price on ebay (50 for £3.99) a couple of weeks ago and passed some onto Grunter recently.
Today I fancied a change and picked one of these, unwrapped it - good looking gun metal coloured and double wrapped, put it into my Merkur progress, good prep started to shave and.......
Nothing! The blade tugged at the bristles, and didnt cut anything a all! Not one hair!
Grunter has also tried and he confirmed my experience and neither of us was able to finish our shaves without changing blades!
I may have purchased some rip offs, it may be me, but I rather think this is my worst shave ever, and I include cartridges, electrics in this...worst ever!!
Anyone else used these blades and had this experience? I wonder if NtS would like to try a few and add to his spreadsheet??
Please be warned!!
