I have despised these blades in every razor I've used... Until now.
I've been putting them in my old ball end Tech and using it for a final ATG pass. As long as you don't over-shave, this combination lets me shave ATG with very little need to worry about nicks or soreness.
So if you have a pile of Merkur blades that you never want to use, and a Tech, give it a go.
NB I have only got this to work with a Tech, other so-called mild razors did not give good results.
