Astra shaving are one of the most popular manufacturers of double edge razor blades in the world, with their Astra Superior Platinum a go-to blade for wet shaves all across the globe. Astra Blue are known for their smoothness and are used widely amongst the wet shaving community and barbers alike.

If you need something sharper than what the Astra Superior’s can offer, your best bet is to go with Feather double-edge blades. The Personna Lab Blue bladesare another great option of a blade that is above average in sharpness and smoothness. They can also be snapped in half, making them highly suitable for modern style shavettes which take two halves of a double edge blade.

Each blade inside the box is individually wrapped in wax paper to help protect it from the elements as well as make it safer to handle. Here once again, the forgiving nature of the Astra comes in handy, as the angle of a shavette is different to that of a safety razor. Astra Superior Stainless Double Edge Safety Razor Blades, often referred to as 'Astra Blue' are sharp and durable blades, suitable for use in all safety razors. In 1996 Astra razor blades joined the Gillette Company family in line with many privatisations of the time. The blade pulled excessively with my 1930 Gillette New, and left my face feeling raw for the rest of the day.I’ll always take a blade that can deliver superb sharpness and smoothness for 5 shaves over a blade that gives mediocre performance for 10 shaves. I personally did not like the Astra Superior Platinum and do not plan to try it again for personal use. If I did not need to do a second shave for review purposes I would have tossed the blade right in the garbage.

It’s simple — they do an awesome job at providing a close and irritation-free shave for lots of wet shavers. These might not be as sharp as a Feather or as smooth as a Shark or Derby, but they are well above average in both categories. The platinum coating isn’t just some marketing gimmick though -- it’s important to the performance of these blades because it really helps the blade shave more smoothly. The blade itself just says “ASTRA” across the top of the blade and “SUPERIOR PLATINUM” across the bottom.
