Description

What's Included:

• Astra Superior Platinum (5 blades)
• Derby Extra (5 blades)
• Feather Hi-Stainless (10 blades)
• Gillette 7 O'Clock (5 blades)
• Merkur Super Platinum (10 blades)
• Parker Premium Platinum (5 blades)

The 45-blade sampler builds on the 25-blade selection with two significant additions — Feather and Merkur. Both are a step up in sharpness from the core five brands and reward a confident, well-practised shaving technique.

Feather Hi-Stainless blades are widely regarded as the sharpest double edge blade available. They deliver an exceptionally close shave but require good technique and are better suited to experienced shavers or those with coarser hair. Merkur Super Platinum sits in a similar bracket — sharp, precise and consistent, with a reputation for smooth performance across a wide range of razors.

The remaining five brands cover a broader range of sharpness and feel, from the forgiving Derby Extra to the reliable mid-range Astra, Gillette, Parker and Wilkinson options. With 45 blades across seven brands, you have enough to properly test each one across multiple shaves before settling on a favourite.
