Personally I find them to be very sharp and cheap enough, but my skin hates them. It goes very red and sore and I always end up with nicks from them. Have ended up giving all of mine awayMagic Learner said:Horses for courses! I guess. I find it hard to believe that anyone can get a good shave from a Derby but there are a few of you who are obviously massive fans. I like to read opnions on blades but like to try them myself.
So I used a couple of blades from a horizontal pack (supposed to be the good ones?) I didn't find them particularly sharp or smooth much like a dull german wilkinson but OMG I wanted to scratch my face off afterwards. It felt like I had shaved with a dull cartridge. I shave daily and hadn't had any irritation from shaving in months and never had anything on that scale before. Anyway I thought it must be a duff blade so next time loaded a fresh blade into the slim dialled it to 3 and got the same results, gave the last 3 blades from the pack away to my brother. He tried one but wasn't impressed either.
For the money i would recommend the SuperMax SuperStainless or the Treet Durasharp (yellow pack/white horizontal stripes with carbon steel blades that are PTFE coated)
