BEVEL Double-edged Razor Blades 20ct

Most Helpful Critical Review

Horrible, would never use again!

I always feel bad giving a negative review, so I make sure to try the product a few times and make sure the issue wasn't on my end. Unfortunately, these blades are just TERRIBLE! I am a woman who has been using safety razors exclusively for YEARS and never had a problem before. My husband who uses b...oth safety and straight razors tried these as well and gave up. He said he would never touch these again. I am going to break down our issues below. *Thin - these blades are super thin, and that's not a good thing! They bend and flex when you really don't want them too. I couldn't get them to actually cut hairs because they were simply bending over the hairs and then cutting nothing. *Time - It took me about half an hour to shave my lower legs. I can usually get that done in about 5 minutes with my other blades. Super annoying! I kept having to go back over areas again and again because these blades weren't cutting anything or only a few hairs. My regular blades can cut through an entire strip of hair in one pass with no stragglers. *Reaction - Now, I am not sure if this is from the metal, the packaging, or something else but my skin went bright red and irritated in several spots and I have never had that reaction to blades before. I have used several brands before settling on my regular one and none of them did this. I am allergic to nickel, so I don't know if maybe there are traces of nickel in these??? I admit, I am not sure what is causing this. I went back to my regular blades just after using these and I didn't have that reaction again so it had to be the blades. *Bounce - these kept skipping and bouncing all over the place, not a pleasant shave at all! I got a bunch of little nicks from this and I don't usually cut myself at all. This didn't help the efficiency of the blades either. My husband said this is what made him quit. Trying to get delicate areas around his neck with these blades was impossible and dangerous. He cut himself a few times because the blades don't glide over the skin. We both use shaving soap and brushes so there shouldn't be an issue there. *Blank blades - These blades have nothing on them at all, no writing or anything. Trying to keep track of which side was used or not is just impossible. I am used to my regular brand having numbers on the corners so I know if it was flipped or not. *Not a close shave - Usually after a shave the skin on my legs is very smooth. After using these I had rough spots where it obviously didn't cut the hairs very close to the skin. Repeatedly going over those areas didn't help at all. Nothing changed. This shave does not even last a day for me, and not even half a day for my husband. He can usually shave once a day and be fine. That's the bulk of our issues. Neither of us will use these blades again. If you have any questions for either of us please comment or ask a product question and we would be happy to answer it for you. I'm sorry to have to put up a bad review, but I really feel these blades are terrible.
