I have tried several different blades being a beginner wet shaver. After trying all the blades in my sample pack and a few others I purchased I determined these were the best for my face. I have fair Irish Skin and a course beard and these were smoothest blades with the closest shave. They didn't irritate my skin at all. I have reviewed six different blades from all over the world and put it in a video form, please check the link below if you are interested in seeing it from a beginner's perspective. http://youtu.be/FFF_wJgcYUk Thanks

Started using these after finding them in the 'sensitive skin' starter pack. Quickly became my favourite - definitely recommend them for sensitive skin with a coarse beard. Surprisingly forgiving all round (good for novices) but still get great results from them. Also have it on good authority that they're great under the arms too..

I really like these blades. They are sharp, not crazy sharp. Great, close shave with no irritation at all. They also last a LONG time. Each blade will give you quite a few shaves. I will be picking up a lot more of these over the next few years!

These have turned into my GO TO blade. Sharp enough to make the shave easy and smooth, but not so sharp that you're afraid of it.
