I've never been a Derby fan, and the only ones I'd used were some freebies. However, when the Derby Premiums came out, and had reasonably good reviews, I bought 100.
I've just finished 3 days with one in my Blackland Dart. The blade shaves OK, and seems well-suited to that particular razor (as, I find, are Astra SPs). However, when I came to take it out of what was a pristine stainless razor, there was rust everywhere. This was definitely the blade rusting, and nothing else, and I don't think they really merit the description "stainless". I can't be bothered with taking one of these out after each shave, washing and drying it, so next adventure with this Derby will be blade in->shave->throw.
