Received a pack of these from Boab along with a Rocket he has loaned me. Blades are very subjective, here is a brief outline of my experience.
Initial impressions: As they are so cheap I was expecting a sub-standard blade. The blade looks fine, well packaged, reminded me in feel / weight of a thin. My first WTG pass using the Rocket was uneventful, with the majority of stubble removed, 2nd pass WTG again was smooth with no trauma, at this point I checked to make sure a thin wasn't being used by mistake. I checked my face before a XTG pass. Wee bit stubble left but not much. XTG pass and a bit of buffing and a very good comfortable shave achieved.
I would like to try their higher end blades. These I would rate just behind Thins and Bleues, they are very slightly rougher but that could have been my fault.
For the money they are pretty hard to beat.
Thanks again to Boab.
