I would say be cautious. Most Topaz / Lazer blades are crap. I have a tuck @home, but afraid to put it to my face !!

The ordinary Topaz with a red diamond on the package - lasts me exactly for one pass only.

"Thanks for contacting us.
The razor blades manufactured in Noida, Bombay.Hyderabad. Presently we have the product that are manufactured in Hyderabad."

Lets just hope the Topaz turns out to be milder than the Tirpitz! 8)

I almost took the plunge, but just can't bring myself to purchase these blades not matter how cheap...

Someone else maybe... :roll:
