VIKINGS BLADE Double Edge Safety Razor Blades, 10x Blades, Swedish Steel + Platinum Coated, Replacement Razor Blades & Refills (Semi-Aggressive & Safe)

Been using these for years now and have zero complaints! Always sharp and even with my thick facial hair it’s gentle enough on my skin to not irritate or cut.

I have been shaving for a while with the safety razors and I can count on these blades every time to give me a great shave. They leave my face feeling smooth and provide a closer shave than a lot of those 3+ blades out there from other places. Each blade is individually wrapped and they split it 25/25 in the small looking box as pictured. They make a less aggressive blade but for me this one gives me the best shave.

These r very good and a must for me. Easy to use and keep their edge. Durable blade for multiple uses!

*Amended review, 5/12/24: After roughly two years of using this Viking Razor, I have decided to switch back to the Gillette Mach 3. My previous setup was the Viking Razor with the semi aggressive razor blade. I would shave with this combination about 3 times per week. And unless I were extremely careful and patient, I would cut/slice myself every single time. And because the blades are so sharp, these cuts would cause my face to bleed all over. I thought I would save more time shaving with a safety razor such as this, due to the more aggressive blade, but in reality, I spent more time with the whole shaving process because I had to stop the bleeding from all the cuts. This razor blade setup absolutely cuts facial hair better than a Gillette Mach 3. However, the tradeoff is a bloody face, which in my opinion, is a poor tradeoff. If you only have a few minutes to shave before work, you don't want to have to deal with a mess as you are trying to get yourself together for a long day. I think this type of razor setup (viking safety razor plus mildly aggressive blade) would work only for someone who is able to dedicate time towards a slow, patient, careful shaving session. This razor blade is not for someone who is in a rush. Finally, what set me over the top is the dangerous nature of these razor blades (and I suppose safety razors in general). I have always kept my razors in a cup, which I store inside of my medicine cabinet inside of the bathroom (storing it vertically, as opposed to horizontally). I have always been careful to retrieve the Viking safety razor by its vertical handle. But one time, I was in a rush and accidentally picked up the razor by the underside of the blade. This was completely unintentional. This led to a cut in my thumb that caused immense bleeding for over 45 minutes. I could not get the bleeding to stop without applying consistent pressure. Mind you, this was a mistake on my part, but I imagine other people utilize a similar setup, and in a rush, other people could also make the same mistake. And what if you have a child that likes to snoop around the house? I immediately threw away the safety razor and the remaining blades in the garbage can and will not use safety razors again for the time being. I am back to the Gillette Mach 3. This razor is tried and true. It's a little annoying to have to scrape harder to slice away the smaller stubbles, but it works well for 90% of all hairs. I would rather deal with this, than to nick myself and have a bloody face when shaving with the Viking razor blade. This is an amended review *Old Review (before 5/12/24) For reference I had previously used the Gillette Mach razor 3 and its razor refills for the vast majority of my life. I would shave about once every two days and would replace the razors about once every 3 weeks to one month. Over time, I found that the razors got dull quickly due to its protective features. And after a few shaves with the Mach 3, it became very difficult to shave down the small remaining stubs. The experience left me feeling like I had worked hard for an incomplete result or a 90% solution. I decided to look for something else and came upon the Viking safety razor and their razor ecosystem. The first time I tried the mild safety razor, I nicked myself a fair bit because I was so used to applying downward pressure and force with the gilette Mach 3. I quickly course corrected and learned to simply let the safety razor glide across the face. Guiding the razor to let it do its job as opposed to forcing it to do what I wanted it to do. The experience with the Viking mild safety razor was absolutely fantastic. Fewer shaving strokes meant less work for me. It also shaved all my hair follicles down to the skin level. No remaining black bumps indicating an incomplete job. So once I had acclimated to this new type of shaving, I decided to try the aggressive blade from Viking. The blade was immediately a step up from the mild shave. These blades are the perfect solution for me. The aggressive angles and sharpness of the blades helps me to get as close as possible to my skin and to shave as quickly as possible. Sometimes I will nick myself, but that is more a byproduct of my poor technique and impatience. I do not get irritation as long as I apply shaving cream before shaving. The cost is fantastic too. I paid about $15 for 50 blades. Each blade lasts me about 2 to 3 weeks, depending on usage and my desire for a sharp blade. These last quite a while because the blades are double sided. Unless someone recommends to me something better on the market, I really don't have a strong reason to change my razor (Viking basic) or my razor blade (Viking aggressive) I am immensely satisfied with the product, and I imagine I will continue to be a customer for years to come

I don’t mind a cartridge razor, but they do generate a lot of plastic. AND, the cost has gotten out of control. These give a very nice shave at a fraction of the cost and allow me to generate less plastic waste.

I bought a Viking razor that came with the mild. If you have thicker hair, I highly recommend picking these up to. For me, they work much better than the mild. Definitely much sharper and just glide across the skin. No cuts or anything. Great value for the money also.

I bought a Henson Razor about a year ago - love the product! Since then, I have experimented with about 50 different brands of blades. I landed on the "Feather" blades, and they provided an extremely close shave and rarely cut my face, but I had an extremely rough time getting the blade out of its single tissue paper wrapper. It's glued to the blade, and I cut my fingers numerous times removing the blade from the wrapper. I tried the VIKINGS blade in the green wrapper, and they were very good, but did not shave as close as the "Feather" blades, however they come packaged in a double wrapper, eliminating cutting my finger when removing the blade. I decided to try the VIKINGS blade in the red box. I am now enjoying the best of both worlds - they provide a super close shave (as good or better than "Feather"), and they are easy to remove from the wrappers without slicing my fingers. I can't say enough about how well these VIKINGS -Red Box Razor Blades are working for me. If you are using a double edge safety razor, give these blades a try.

I tried a few different kind of razor blades before finding this one. I mainly bought Shark blades, but tried others as well. They were all about the same. When I finally made the switch to Vikings, it was an entirely different experience. First blade with these, I cut myself quite a bit. It was much sharper than I was used to. I learned you have to use gentle pressure when the blade is fresh out of the box. However, the real difference in these blades compared to others is how long they last. I needed to replace a Shark blade every week or 10 days. Sometimes more. These Viking blades, I can use them for almost a month and they still cut neatly and easily with no pulling and no cuts. It's truly amazing how long they last. I often find myself thinking that they made such a good blade that they could put themselves out of business. Love these blades. Will never go back to anything else.

Mild blade, lasts 4 to shaves, of three passes.

I was a bit concerned since they say they are made in China, but the cayenne give a great aggressive - yet smooth shave. They are good quality aggressive razors. I pair it with my Vikings Meiji razor on setting 6, a good tallow based shave soap, and alcohol based aftershave that contain witch hazel and aloe. Medium sensitivity face and coarse hair.

This box of 50 blade's, makes it so much easier as I have enough blades for a couple of years!
