*New* Dorco Prime Platinum STP-301 Double Edge Blades (100 Blades) - Double Coating, Extra Sharp, Less Irritation
E**E
Quality and consistency with proper aggressiveness for me.
These have been my go to blades for several years now. Not too aggressive, but very consistent. Really helped with reducing ingrown hairs. As my son is starting to shave I am introducing him to them as well. Price is right and easiest to buy here on Amazon.

A Lot like Astra Superior Platinum, only smoother
This was a great purchase for me. I have been loving Astra Superior Platinum blades for a while, very sharp pretty smooth blades that give me little to no irritation, and last 3 shaves for me. I compare these to those since they are very similarly priced, and perform similarly. I also tried them from other folks comparing them to Astra SPs so that got me interested. I would say that these blades are very similar in sharpness, maybe even a touch sharper than the Astra Platinums. However, where these really shine is that for me they are a substantial amount smoother. I have been able to do 3 passes and multiple touch ups with zero razor burn. With the Astra blades I can get 3passes but have to be very careful not to over do it on touch ups else I get razor burn.I know that these are a couple dollars more for a 100 pack, but to me they are worth every penny more since they perform better. As an aside, I have been getting 4 - 5 shaves out of one of these blades, so they do last a tick longer which makes up for the extra 2 dollars...I am really not complaining about $0.02 / blade difference though. All in all I am very pleased with this purchase, and this is now my go to blade. I have never tried any of the other Dorco blades before, so I am not sure how those stack up.One other nice perk to these blades is that they do not have the glue dots on the wax paper wrapper, and they come in plastic tucks of 10 with blade disposal tray built in. No more glue transferring over onto my razor.I think that if you like Astra SP's you should try these and you'd probably find you like these quite a bit better, as usual with razor blades ymmv.

Excellent Blades
These blades are sharp but very smooth . I have tried these in several different razors and they work well in all of them. For the price you have to try them. They compare well to the Astra blades, very similar.

Sharp, sensitive, cheap, and reliable: these will take you a long way
After using these for nearly a year, they are by far my favorite razor blades. They give a very close shave while still managing to keep my skin healthy. Most other razors I've tried cause razor burn after only a few days of use (even when starting with a new blade every day). I have a moderately thick beard, but I can use these razors for three or four days before they start to feel significantly duller. At this price though, it hardly matters if you use a new one every day: the cost per shave is extremely cheap. This pack of 100 blades has lasted me several months, costing a fraction of what I would have spent on cartridge or even disposable razors.I've been using these razors with a Merkur long handled safety razor, and in it the blades fit securely

Sharp but not as sharp as previously
I shave about once per week so 100 blades is going to last quite a while.I got a mix of different blades from a DE razor i bought that the seller included as a "gift" a year+ ago, some were surprisingly dull fresh out of the package, but the Dorco Prime Platinum were nice. Sharp but not too sharp, smooth but not so slick you lose control, they held an edge for about 3 good shaves before they started pulling.These *new* blades are not as good as the old stock "gift" blades, You'll get 1 good shave out of them, the second shave you have to flip and or rotate the blade before you're done. You could manage a 3rd but it won't be comfortable, which if you're a cheapskate like me you'll find disappointing.The upside is these blades are inexpensive and you'll get 2 decent shaves from them.To be honest, you should probably change your blade every time you shave anway for sanitary reasons.Will i buy them again? Probably.

New Favorite Blade
Wow. I've tried the regular Dorco's (ST300 & ST301's) and saw these so I thought I would give them a shot. I am SO glad i did. These are some of the best blades I've ever tried. I would compare them in sharpness and smoothness to Wilkinson Sword blades. Not too aggressive, less deadly sharp than a Feather and a touch smoother than an Astra to me. Definitely smoother and sharper than the regular Dorco's. Knocks my beard down in two passes with zero irritation, even on my sensitive neck areas. After using several of them, they are definitely not as durable as, say, the Wilkinson Swords. I can get 4-6 shaves out of the Wilkinsons but these are only good for 2-3 shaves tops. Better than Derby's in that regard, which only last a single shave for me. But still a great deal. Of course everyone's face is different, but hopefully the comparisons help. For $12 I have a 2 year supply of blades. Can't go wrong.

Fantastic!
First let me say that it is surprising how many guys do not know that double edge safety razor blades are for ONE time use only. Do not hack your face by using more than once! Cost is not an issue. They are 10 cents each. A Gillette is 3000% more ($3.00).I've been using Astra blades for years and they are great. However I prefer these Dorco blades better. They offer almost the same level of sharpness, perhaps a bit less which is big plus. They are high quality, made in Korea and provide a smooth glide. So far they are my favorites - and I tried just about every brand amazon sells.

Great blade; Great Deal
This review has two parts. Part one: The bladesI love the Dorco Prime STP-301's. They're more than sharp enough for my normal to tough beard. I can get four to five, two pass shaves out a blade and it's still comfortable when I replace it. Although sharp, I don't have any trouble with nicks or weepers. These seem to work wonderfully in my Dorco DE razor. Not sure how they behave in other brands, but I don't see why they wouldn't be fine.Part two: The dealNot sure how you can beat less than eight cents a blade. These are crazy, affordable.
