Merkur Super Platinum Blades For All Standard Double Edge Safety Razors, 3 Count

Amazing

My husband uses these blades all the time. He says they're the best.

I love my Murkur Heavy Duty Classic razer, and these Murkur blades do a good job and last a long time. As of the time that this review was posted, there are two options – Standard and Super Platinum. I believe the only difference is that Super Platinum is 3 x boxes of 10, while Standard is just one box. At current pricing, that makes the Super Platinum by far the better buy (50% higher price for 200% more blades). I ordered the Super Platinum, and did receive three boxes (despite the product title suggesting otherwise).

Fantastic, sharp blades. My husband’s favorite.

Second best safety blades I have used so far. Not as good and long lasting, as the German ones.

Okay, so I always used to purchase these Merkur blades -- Well, the ones in the plastic sheathing that were actually manufactured in Germany -- These are not quite the same (packaged in a cardboard sheathing and made in the Czech Republic). Yes, I was a little perturbed to discover that these were not the 'real deal' (or perhaps they are the 'real deal,' but Merkur has changed their manufacturing location for these). That said, after I let my annoyance fade I gave them a try. Now it's possible I was a bit mentally skewed when I tried them out because I knew that they were not my normal, tried and true German-manufactured blades -- So, at least as far as I perceived, these CZ blades didn't perform quite the same / as well as the German ones -- Regardless, I've tried many, many, many double-edge razor blades in my day and I find these are still the 2nd best ones to date (2nd only to the German made Merkur blades). Now, since I've been continuing to search for the actual, German made Merkur blades to no avail, these have become my new standard (unless I am someday able to find the German made ones). So in short, these are not made in Germany, but in the CZ -- But if you can't find the German ones like me, I do recommend these -- I've still found them to be better than any other non-Merkur double edge razor blades.
