Rather than sampling them, I went all in after reading reviews of them and bought 100. Good blade but they are slightly oversize width-wise from other blades. I found them too big in my various vintage Gillettes. However, they are a good fit in the Feather AS-D2 and provide a bit more blade exposure than other blades in that razor. Still prefer the Feather blades in the AS-D2 but for those with that razor who feel it's too mild, maybe try a Kai blade.
