Summary:
Those blades are made in Russia and are amongst my favourites.
Negative:
– Nothing that I can think of right now.
Positive:
+ Nicely balanced blades in regards to sharpness. I can shave in such a manner that I can feel the blade on my skin without cutting myself, but the blades don’t pull too much on my stubbles while shaving. By feeling the blade I do achieve a nice and close shave with no cuts.
+ After one week of usage the blade is still nicely sharp. – I do change my blade though after one week of usage.
+ The 5 blades came boxed in a small cardboard box that is easily recyclable.
+ Each blade comes individually wrapped in wax-paper.
Conclusion: Fantastic blades to use, great packaging, great value for money.
