These blades whilst in the plastic dispenser (x10) have a noticeable smell of oil, this dissipates once placed into the razor and is hardly, if at all noticeable.
I have found them to be very smooth and would compare them to *Iridiums* and Thins in this factor, and like the Thins, they hold their edge for a considerable period without a sudden drop off. I’ve pushed these blades to five consecutive shaves and could have pushed for more.
For the price comparison of £10.48 per 100 at the time of this posting, they are worth having a punt on.
*Whilst still my favourite blade, i can only get four shaves from a blade*
EDIT
The blades concerned in this review are the circa 2000 blades.
As such and after reading other posts regarding the Gillette Bleue Extra's and the general consensus that the newer produced blades are not to the same quality, i will attach the link to where i purchased these from.
Having not used the newer blades i cannot make a direct comparison between the two.
