Is this better than Derby Extra? I like Derby because it has plastic container for the blades. Which one should I buy?

Sorry I did not use Derby Extra so I cannot give you an advice but in my opinion the most importance is the blade/razor not the container

They are a highly regarded blade on the shaving forums and are relatively inexpensive. It comes in a paper box and doesn't take up hardly any space at all. I think your best bet is to get a sample pack so you can try a lot of different blades and see which ones you like and which one you don't before making a purchase of 100 blades. You would be surprised at what works for YOU and what doesn't.

Although opinions vary, yes, these are better than derby blades. You can put your blades into a lot of things so don't get derby blades just fit that reason.

Hello Handsome Jack. For my skin and for me, yes. Astra is better. I do not cut, I have no irritation. I have also used the Derby its plastic conteiner is good but the most important thing here is the result you want is not the container. Ideally for you is to try both to determine which of the two would do better to your skin. First buy a pack of 5 of both in case you have not used the Derby.

I have not used the Derby blades, these come in small cardboard packs of ten.

For me it's all about the sharpness of the blade. I think Derby and Astra blades are very close in performance. Buy the derby if you like the container.

I've used the Derby, but I like the Astra way better. It's just a much smoother shave for me. YMMV of course. I have 2 small kids, and a place to put the used blades is always a concern. You can get a "Blade Safe" for about $5 on Amazon. I know Feather makes one. All it is, is a small plastic box that cannot be opened. It has a slit in the top to put your used blades. It holds a couple hundred blades. After it's full, chuck it in your recycle container, and you're done.

I love this can. I had original for 6 years and just got the 2nd for recycling. I would say that maybe the staninless would be better than the plastic. My dog tried to chew open the plastic lid and it has left not-so-nice marks... would maybe be less apparent on the stainless.

I have both. The Sven is better made, but more of a pain in the rear to assemble and then dis-assemble. Also, the Sven depends on a wing nut to assemble which is VERY easily lost. I bought a few xtra nuts and tied them to the saw to be safe. Really though, they are both good saws.

I'm currently using the Derby half blades, 100 per pack, about $8 per pack. I only use a blade once, because my facial hair is very thick, and I find the Derby blades to be the most comfortable for me. Less nicks, less razor burn, and sharp enough to chop through the forest that I call my face.

I honesty cannot say. I had both. One burned out so I bought the other. As long as we had it we did not dull the blade out. Sorry wish I could be of more help. I can say they are both equal in quality & the motor is as powerful in both. Thanks

No Blades, But I bought 25 derby extra double edge razor blades for 3.99 and get three shaves from one blade.

Ordered the Snow Joe over the Toro due to more power, cheaper price, and metal, rather than plastic, blades... Hope I don't end up regretting it, as the Toro has far more information about it out there than the Snow Joe.Edit: Well, perhaps all things happen for a reason. The Snow Joe was back-ordered... I found more reviews on the QVC site, and they also had a video of the snow joe. QVC had a lot of mixed reviews and the video wasn't as impressive as ones I've seen for the toro, so I canceled the Snow Joe and went with the safer bet.

Mine came with 5 derby blades which I thought were too mild but I would consider a good Blade for a beginner.

Hello Simone, there are 2 blades that come with the nutribullet. The + blade is for grinding nuts and such and the other multi-tiered blade is for bending drinks.

Both blades are identical in size. I compared the Derby Extra to my Merkur Super blades. Length, width and thickness of both blades are identical. Even the cut out slot in the center are identical to each other. I flexed both blades and the torsion required to bend both blades feel the same. If these two blades didn't have any printing I couldn't tell them apart. I purchased 2 x 100 pack of Derby Extra blades so far I'm extremely happy with their performance.

I had the lid and blade assembly already. I broke the glass jar, which needed replacing. So, if all you need is the glass, then this is the right thing to order. If you need the blades and lid also, then you'll have to order a different item.

I am using Derby Extra. Have no problem with them. But, I would try some different blades, just because I like to try different items. But, I do like Derby.

Any double-edged blade should work. The "Feather" brand blade is my favorite, but Derby blades are also good and a lot cheaper.

two different types of steel for the blades. the one you are looking at has aus 8a. the other one is san mai 3. the san mai 3 is supposedly a better steel. I have owned one of each. I loved the aus 8a, but wanted to try the san mai 3. That being said, I haven't had the san mai 3 long enough to tell you that it truly is better, but for the slight price difference I would recommend you go with the san mai 3. Did quite a bit of reading on it, and it appears to be the better blade. (I'm not sorry I upgraded so far)

I use Shark, I've been very satisfied with them. I accidentally ordered the double blades, but found that it's very easy to snap them in half. I haven't looked to see whether this saves me any money, since the blades are so inexpensive to begin with.

I have not noticed any size issue. I own both a Merkur and a Parker. I've been very satisfied with the Derby blades and will order them again. I would suggest trying a different brand and be sure the razor is assembled correctly. I also like the Personna blades. I find the Gillette "7 O'Clock" blades don't give as many shaves.

I purchased a Merkur double edge razor and the feather hi-stainless platinum stainless blades.After my purchase I was given a membership to the Dollor shave club as a gift for Xmas.The dollor shave club razor was so superior to the double edge razor I haven't used the Merfur razor since, I strongly recommend the dollor shave club.
