so is this a discontinued blade that Paul just happened to get old stock or is this blade still in production?

It is the best blade that I have used so far. I find it better than the Red IPs, Derbys, Feathers and Merkurs. It is smooth and sharp. I do not feel it cutting at all.

I only got two weepers. That is very good for me. I usually end up with at least 4. I have alot of weird breakouts on my skin, and they bleed when the razor goes through them.

I really like the packaging. The blade is double wrapped. The first layer is wax paper. The second layer is paper. They are wrapped 10 to each cardboard box. There is no wasted space as in the Derby plastic containers. They come in a master cardboard box of 25x10. I really hate the plastic wrapping that other blades like the Derbys come in.

The real test will be tomorrow morning when I see how many razor bumps I have, It will also be interesting to see how many shaves I can get out of the blade. I typically get 3 days.

Maybe the best smoothest and sharpest combo of available blades. Easily lasts one week.

I agree. I currently have 500 and there are another 500 incoming. That is almost a 20 year supply. :lol: :lol:

I just didn't want to run out of these anytime soon!

Ding, Ding, Ding.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner.

I woke up this morning and I looked in the mirror. No razor bumps at all.

Well, there was a really small one yesterday that broke easily. I do not see it at all today.

I really like the "Swedes" I got recently, but they are costly and disappearing. I do not have the SI's yet, but they are on the way and I am hoping they are a good optional blade.
