Astra Superior Platinum DE Safety Razor Blades (5 blade tuck)

Astra Superior Platinum DE Safety Razor Blades (Tuck of 5 Blades)

Another quality Russian blade! Yes, you read right. Contrary to suppressed beliefs, the Russians are renowned for making stuff which just works and lasts. They have the technology, the know-how, the labour and the machinery.

I remember a conversation I had with the late Arrie Meyer, former Springbok Aerobatics champion regarding his Russian Sukhoi SU-26 Aerobatics plane. He flew to Russia to buy this plane. To his surprise, the "factory" was situated in an open field, consisting of corrugated iron buildings with leaking roofs.

I asked: "Ok Arrie, why a Russian plane?" And his answer was short and to the point: "Their planes do not break!"

AK47's and MIG-27's comes to mind here!

These are excellent quality Platinum coated blades which would give you 5-6 good close shaves per blade. So, a tuck of 5 blades will give you 25-30 shaves, costing R16. Unbeatable value for money.
