do these blades work well on a coarse beard with sensitive skin

The blades are as fine as any but the cartridge itself is a little "clunky." Consequently, sometimes they're a little awkward in places like directly under one's nose, where it meets the upper lip. I'm willing to trade a little awkwardness for the value, but that's me. My skin is very sensitive and my beard is only modest. If you have 8 gauge steel wire for a beard, I'm not sure these or any blades will prove to be the cutting torch you need.

I have a coarse beard and it takes at least 2 passes to get DFS. I am finding I get a better shave with less irritation mainly because I now use wet shaving technique with Arko soap and make multiple passes. A big bonus is with the Personna carts I can afford to change out carts for new ones earlier than I used too.

Personally, I have extremely sensitive skin, so I use the Nivea anti-irritation shaving gel with my Panasonic shaver. It leaves my skin very smooth and it really alleviates irritation. I also recommend using the Nivea anti-irritation aftershave balm if you have sensitive skin.

The Mekur Future is an excellent razor with a few caveats. I have "sensitive" skin myself. I tried the Japanese Feather brand blades and found them "too sharp" or perhaps their profile is a bit too thin. A fraction of a millimeter in blade thickness can make a huge difference. I switched over to the USA Personna blades. I find them much more forgiving. Overall the Mekur is an excellent razor made of high quality materials. The key is to use a very slight pressure and take your time until you are familiar with it.

They get gradually duller. Depends on how long you can tolerate to take to shave (and touch up with a blade) before replacing. I was on the same blades for 5 years or so and realized how bad they were when I forgot it on a trip to France and bought a new one there. You can supposedly also sharpen them a bit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSBX81U1otM

Hi R.S. Wanat, I would say about ten times or more if you space it out with shaving every two to three days to make the blades last longer. They really do a good job getting rid of the stubble. The blades are super sharp so please shave gently. After awhile just like with any blade you will start to feel a pulling sensation(dull blade) which is a signal to change to a new blade. Wishing you many happy shaves.

They seem to be no less sharp than the Excel blades I have been using, but it seems that leg hair is really hard on razors so all in, no better, no worse. Sorry but shaving legs is not a part of my grooming routine.

Not sure I fully understand the question, but it does a great job of getting your beard shaved. I do not think that there will be much difference regarding a person's race or skin color, beard density and how coarse your beard hairs are will be the deciding factor. I find this cut my beard very close and does not chaff or pull the hairs when doing so. If you have a coarse beard I am sure it will meet the challenge without any difficulty. Hope this helps?

Yes, I get this product for my son who loves it and he uses a double edge blade and has sensitive skin.

Yes. These blades are much less expensive and appear to have similar quality. They work with the handle I use for my face and the HeadBlade that I use for my bald little head. I'm getting a good shave and can afford to replace them more frequently. Now I need to find another handle so I can share these blades with family. Thanks.

In my case blade shaving irritated my skin. The electric will do the same if you press too hard but it is the convenience of not having to lather up but can shave on the go at most any time that appeals to me. An electric like this will not shave a beard unless you buy the one with a built in trimmer.

Yes the comfort coated ones that I've received are a much cleaner less irritating shave but each blade doe not last as long as blades labeled America's #1 brand but I mean 100 blades for $14 would you rather have a much cleaner less irritated face than have a blade last longer when you have 100?

Very gentle on sensitive skin.Due to the fact the blades are very sharp,and cut nicely without having to go over the same area too many times;along with the 3 "floating heads" helps stop skin irritation.Great razor for the price.....I am enjoying mine,and I have sensitive skin.

These will do the job for a short shadow beard but the Andis master is a better clipper. I would not spend that kind of money on the Andis Master if you're only going to use them for your beard.

I found out that eyebrow shaver works well on face and sensitive areas of the body. Eyebrow shaver does not cause problems to skin.

I would agree, these Panasonic shavers are good for those susceptible to ingrown hairs. I used a Braun for years and had many problems with this, but since going to Panasonic it is very rare. These shavers are gentle on the skin and are waterproof so you can use them with shaving gel if needed.

I use mine with my Parker Sr1 shavette razor, they are decent blades but I have noticed that they are not consistent in sharpness for my preference.
