What do you expect for a $15 razor, to live forever?
Man, you want a blade to shave 5 or 6 days? These de blades are cheap and intend to last 2 normal shaves.
Using shaving cream would help catch those hairs and drain out easier on the wash.
I get bad razor burn on my neck from these. I sadly bought 100 of them without trying first. My face still hurts a full day after shaving.
You must have had a dud. I absolutely love Gillette Platinum blades. For me, there are both smooth and sharp. Too bad your experience was different.
Great review. Thanks
This razor is actually fantastic. I appreciate your honesty, but try using shaving cream at the very least. You are reviewing a product and not even using it properly
I shaved with one of these blades and it was outstanding. I have sensitive skin with coarse hair and I have 5 days Beard growth. Super close and left my face extremely comfortable even more than normal. I used it because I had not tried 1 in 6 years because I have so many others. I'm gonna be picking up a 100 pack soon.
Now is the problem the razor blades or the razor itself?
Thnx for your honesty
As a pair of hiking boots they are a companion to the Scout chukka. Nice trail boots!
Respectfully disagree. This is my absolute favorite blade that I can put in every single one of my razors. The sharpness to smoothest quality is excellent. But thank you for your video I respect all opinions because what might work for me may not work for someone else and vice versa.
I dont thing this "creator "uses this shaver and brush , or its just a nub . If you ever touch DE razor you know most of the best blades are made in Russia . I just watched his "review "of Gillette platinum . It has exactly the same vibe.
@@vyanchev9639 I so agree. I do like my personas and I'm a huge fan of the Gillette Wilkinson made in India. But if I had to pick a country Russia would definitely receive the number one spot for the best safety razor blades.
My thoughts yes I did get bumps from these as well I also made it to 6th shave. These are thee dullest blades on the market followed by Big Ben.
They are made by Lord they have a website and I saw them on there.
Appreciate your videos man, I subscribed, keep going! I have Derby Premiums as well but they come with different print on them and different wrapping paper, it has black derby premium print on it.
I have sensitive skin and I need to shave as often as possible without skipping more than a day and these are the BEST blades I’ve ever used they’re so smooth and they give me the closest cute with no nicks and cuts. Gillette Wilkinson swords in 2nd and Astra Blue in 3rd if anyone else suffers from sensitive skin
My own story is quite different. I recently bought an Edwin Jagger 3one6 stainless steel razor. I tried a few different blades in it. By the way I shave every two days. Personna Med Prep, possibly the closest shave I have had since starting DE blade shaving last August. However, I had a slice cut mid chin and three other persistent weepers around the chin. Next blade was a Gillette Platinum blade, my current favourite across the three other razors I have, two of which are slants and one adjustable. Also a close shave with the Gillette, no new cuts, but also general sting with the alum block and like the Personna a bit tuggy on the point of my chin. The 3one6 comes with 5 Feather blades, so I though well maybe thats the blade best suited to it. Following that shave I very regrettably felt the 3one6 was just not for me. Again a few weepers around my chin and some redness irritation. Applying alum block was not pleasant following all those shaves and I was thinking of selling the razor. This morning I tried a Voskhod (not coated version), which I had recently bought 25 of to try out, and best shave yet with the 3one6 from the aspect of comfort, and closeness is as good as the others. My faith is restored in the razor and I will not be selling. I have ordered 200 Voskhod, and some Parker blades also to try in it and I already have others to try as well. I really had given up on the razor and now I am so glad I didn't. People and razors are different.
After using many other blades they are my first choice for use in my 1962 Gillette Slim Adjustable but only when set for one of the more aggressive settings.
They are pretty good until I had to shave the mustache hair, it was painful the amount of tug required for it to cut the mustache hair, I put in a new blade just for the mustache hair but the same painful tugging. I have very course hair, the Astra green are perfect balance of sharp and smooth for my hair
Nice review sir! Thursdays were my starting spot in the world of boots. Next, go for a pair of Grant Stones, Red Wing or Truman’s. Well worth the bump in price as all of them offer significantly higher quality.
I think its the USER (YOU) Not the Razor!
$16? I only paid $7 at the store.
I think adjustable mechanism is meant for men who are switching over to safety razors from the now more common 4 and 5 blade razors. Switching over to a safety blade razor is a completely different shaving experience and it was a big adjustment for me at first. The first time I used a safety razor, it took a lot more time to shave my face and I nicked my face quite a bit in the process.
Derby : not sharp. I have thick beard hear /dik baard haard (bad/slecht)
That click really is satisfying! Thanks for the long term review! A lot of reviews are done right after the item is bought and then I don't know how long the item holds up over time. It looks like Anson is a good brand, especially with their warranty if something bad does happen
That's a pretty aggressive heel. How's walking around on concrete floors?
I have the Legends in Matte black super comfortable and I even won a fight in them on god!!! I want the Hero Mustang color
I need to hold 3 shaves to have a normal shave with Rapira, BUT I have a adjustable safety razor, and it works better, if I dont do this, for sure my face will be like a face that was devastated by a rapira canon, but a smooth one 😂
I want this exact pair, what’s the sole called? When I look up Thursday stout chukka I can’t find this sole
These are the Scout Chukka with the rugged and resilient sole.
Did you get the model wrong?
They had to change the name of the boots due to marketing and trademark concerns. They are now called Heroes. Same boot, different name.
Your reviewed for us the BLADE and not the razor, in this video. Finding how to open the flap was tricky, but I may try to make a little video demonstrating how. There are a few blades not easily found online but easy enough to find in some local retail stores . And then there are a very great many blades not at all found in local retail stores but found easily in some online stores. These VDH blades you will find in Walmart, CVS/Target, but not too many online places. I hope they are as good or better as you tell us; I bought a packette today.
Those blades belong in the trash! 🗑
@@SANSOOBOXER_OFFICIALTry to find someone who find these VDH blades satisfactory. Either you found 1 bad blade, or the VDH blades do not suit you well. They work very well for me and are one of my favorites.
Bro, these blades are probably just not for your skin type cause on me they work like Magic.
You give a very disappointing description of using this razor. This makes me curious about and might buy to try it. I just recently saw this razor for sale at a local drug store.
A revision to the video, maybe?
Hmm interesting. Maybe not a good match to the razor you have or something like that. Af least for me I'd say its very excellent if not my favorite. I also really like the Astra blue just a bit under this one. The only blade I like even more than this Gillette Platinum is the Wilkinson Sword German blade. My least favorite blade is the feather blade.
the black ones are better for sensitive skin with non coarse hair there better than the green ones
I like feather but I think astra is the best bang for the buck you can currently get 100 for around 8.00 . I also like Gillette silver blue .
I haven't tried the Gillette silver blue. I'm going to write that down on my list of blades to try! Thank you for the recommendation!
I always had decent shaves with the platinum. However the new Platinum's in the almost all blue packaging (formerly known as Swedes) are superior.
I'll have to keep an eye out for those! Thank you for the recommendation!
Dude....you put an adjustable razor on the maximum aggressive setting and acted surprised you cut yourself?! LoL about 3 is where most people shave.
I use mine on 3 as well💯
My first safety, 3 weeks at 6, love it...just rise it, wonder razor!
Perhaps you inadvertently selected a bad blade?
I very well could have, or even got one manufactured somewhere different. I'll try them again soon and see if the experience changes.
Complain to much
Any tips on the sizing?
The size recommend on their website worked perfect for me. I would recommend using that. Hope that helps!
Great review
Great review keep it up
POC are taught to mind our f^€king but when it come to children that rule no longer applies
Sir, you're indoors. You can take the jacket off.
Is there gusseting on the tongue? I live in a sandy area.
Unfortunately no. If gusseting is required, you might look for a different style.
I have a pair of these. They're alright at best. Ive worn them maybe 75 times in 2.5 yrs. Getting ready for a date the other night and the speed hooks popped off the boot. Contacted Thursday Boot company to try to get them repaired... Nothing... Crickets. So I hit up their facebook page and they freaking blocked me. Guys spend your $200 with a company who will stand behind their products and back them up. These influencers act like $200 for boots is inexpensive. Guy's, I had to bust my ass and save to buy these boots and this company wont even entertain a conversation about repairing a well kept, very lightly used pair of boots bought from them. I was proud to own them. Now I'm embarrassed to say they took my hard earned $$. I would've gotten better wear from a $50 boot on amazon and recieved the same bad customer service
That's unfortunate to hear you had such a bad experience. I can understand why you feel the way you do about them though. I imagine it would be difficult to get you to try a different pair as well.
Seriously? You’ve had them for 2 1/2 years and you are expecting the company to repair them for you? You’ve got to be kidding. It’s a $200 boot. You get what you pay for. Not even a $700 boot has a life time warranty. Your expectations are clearly out of line.
We hope you love them!
What a waste dude. How do you not know what an adjustable head is for. It's for sensitive skin. Stop making videos.
