Well, pbroddi pointed these out to me as he knows my favourites are the swedes and I ordered some from Connaught.
They arrived today, tried out this evening and have to say, felt just like a Swede to me. Familiar smoothness, same feel to the cutting action and same result, no nicks, cuts, irritation or discomfort, just a nice smooth shave. With some blades you either need to cork them to smooth them out or take it easy on the first use to avoid carnage. Swedes were always sharp but smooth right out of the oily paper for me, now I have a replacement and can stop worrying about using my last one in about two years time...
Now lets see if I can get seven shaves out of these as well.
