Best praise vs top criticism for Astra Superior Platinum Double Edge Blades
“You're using using the pressure of a disposable, that's why you're nicking yourself. The weight of the razor itself is too much pressure for all but my aluminum ones. Yellow feather blades are a pretty pretty advanced blade to start learning how to use a DE. Great once you know how to though. If you have a sampler, try a gentler, less sharp blade. I still use my astra greens and nacets most of the time.”
“Totally me. Astra SP gives me some of the worst shaves ever. Meantime the Feather and Nacets are just so much better.”
