Comment on Monday SOTD Thread, November 24th, 2025 (#895)
walden@wetshav.ing 3 days agoI’ve never heard anything said about them other than “they’re the only blades I use”, or when recommending blades to new people “try Astra SP” (followed by not recommending any other blades).
I just checked my old notes, and I actually seemed to like them more than I remember.
The good news is I have some on hand, so I can revisit when I’m finished with this Superior Stainless assuming I don’t get distracted with something else.

To me, they are a “good” blade. I prefer the Personna Lab Blue, German Wilkinson Sword, Gillette Nacet, and Feather blades, though. I’ll use a Feather in the Blackbird, so I try to stay away from giving DE advice.
