*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

Great value – buy a safety razor (I have a Viking) and these boxes lasted me over two years. Much better value than disposables, much better shave!

First of all I fit the description of these blades and do not need an aggressive shave. I’ve been using Astra blades with my two mild Vikings Blade safety razors (Godfather and Vulcan) and for the heck of it finally tried one of the blades that came with the razors. I will never go back. These Viking blades are everything they claim to be, and yes they last twice as long as Astra blades. I just dispensed of one today after 6 uses. It could have gone longer. Other blades I have tried always started tugging while going against the grain around day 3. Also there are some places on my neck that other blades could never shave without razor burn, until I tried these blades. No problem. These blades might be designed to be mild but they are sharp and stay sharp. It’s such a strange scenario, how they can be so sharp but with such mildly smooth performance. It’s difficult to explain because it’s usually the sharper the blade the more aggressive shave. This is pure comfort. They provide such a smooth shave that is such a sharp but mild profile that it’s almost like shaving with an expensive 5 Blade cartridge razor without the burn. Try these, such a great shaving experience and what a difference it is, and so worth the few extra bucks. 50 blades at twice the usage time = 100 blades. I have not had one nick or bleeder since I started using them. Used up all my free blades and had to order more. Now I understand why there was such high demand for them. I sure hope Vikings Blade continues to offer these incredible blades. They really are top of the line and well worth the money. Take the plunge.

Estas navajas tienen mucho filo (hay que se prudente al usarlas) pero con un buen manejo el resultado es excelente, rasuran al ras y con poca irritación.
Lo volvería a comprar sin dudas
