I use these to shave my head exclusively. Also, I have only used these blades with my Muhle R41 Twist Safety Razor, which is a more mild razor. Together, the two are an ideal match for me. I have used these blades for several years now. They are very consistent out of the package. On rare occasion, a blade may not be as comfortable as the others, but it is rare. I tend to shave confidently, but respectfully with these. I have a variety of hair types on my head from very soft on top to quite whiskerey on the sides and back. Yet, these blades handle it all very well. Also, my skin is quite different whether it be my neck, temples, or top of my head. Again, these blades, in this setup, are quite satisfying. My satisfaction is proven by my purchase of 100 at a time, which is also an excellent value. I recommend the Lord Platinum very highly. Given all that and the excellent price, I would certainly try them.
