A while back I spotted someone (I think it might have been Teiste actually) on one of the shaving boards who was using these daily as part of his daily routine. This lead me to two thoughts - either it was all he could get or that they were worth a try. Some research lead me to eBay where for the princely sum of US$14 per 100 I had some shipped to me.
The first shave, I thought there were no whiskers being cut - there was no cutting noise at least - but whiskers were still ending up in the sink. Totally uneventful shave - but a totally awesome result. The next 5 (yes count them - five!) shaves were just as uneventful as the first - until right near the end of the last one when there was a bit of resistance. Still for a blade that cost so little, it gave me more shaves than any other blade I've tried to date.
Thinking it might be a "rogue" blade, I tried again - same story - 5 totally uneventful shaves and the last (sixth) one tugged a little on the last strokes of the last pass.
I commend them to anybody to try (you can get smaller quantities but pay more per blade of course).
