Would Derby blades also work for this straight razor? I'd like to try both shark and derby

they both will work in the razor, but they are not as good and will not last as long. also they are not as sharp.

Absolutely! The blade fit right into the Merkur nicely. The Astra is one of the sharpest DE blades I have ever used. I used a Derby, Forgo, and several others and this blade is the sharpest, and has maintained it's edge for the longest before I had to replace the blade. Great bargain and quality.

Yes. Each side has a number 1-2 and 3-4 used in the manufacturing process is my understanding. Derby is a great DE blade. I use a DE razor and shave my head and face. I get three shave each blade. Each blade cost me .10c.

This is a great product and you will save money not buying Gillette products. I use Derby replacement blades and they are affordable and consistent. Caveat: Be careful when shaving your upper lip. This razor is sharp and offers a great shave with Derby blades; however, you will get cut bad if you're careless.

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

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

Ohhhh god yes the razor Un screws into 3 piece drop the blade in an reassemble. Just make sure after every use to dry the razor well, also I buy the 200 blade at once from derby off of here

Any standard double edge blades will work. I tend to like the sharp blades in this razor as the razor is fairly mild. I always get great shaves form Gillette Silver Blues, Voskhods, Bic Chrome Platinums and Persona Medi Preps but the Feathers are really nice in this razor!

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.

You can use the same brand for both blades, but different sizes. As for two different brands you can do that as well so long as it's the proper size.

These are standard sized razor blades. Unless your razor uses non-standard blades it should work.

I thought the same thing with my Edwin Jagger de89lbl. That when I first put the derby razor on that it was not out far enough. But then as I used it the blade gently removed the hair from my face giving me a close shave and did not leave me with any razor burn. Any more razor blade sticking out for me would of cut me and gave me razor burn all over. I have read on amazon some people need or like the adjustable razor angle like the mekur futur.

I myself use a Merkur but the Derby's would most definitely fit the Rick Harrison razor.They will fit any standard safety razor.

Personally, I use Derby Professional single edge blades. Comes in a small pack of 100 blades.

This razor appears to be another version of Weishi razor based off an old Gillette patent. Standard double edge blades should work. I recommend trying a good quality platinum, chrome, or titanium blade before giving up on the razor. I saw these razors in the As Seen On TV section of a national chain store recently, but they didn't have additional blades in the HBA section.

I don't know, but if you go to the phillips Norelco website it will tell you which set of blades will fit your razor. That is where I went to confirm. It is also normally listed in.on the razor body.

Any standard double edge blades will work. The quality of the blades they supply with this razor are questionable.Also, if you are new to using a safety razor, you should buy a sampler pack of blades of several different brands.One type of blade will not work for everyone. You need to try them yourself and see what works best for you.
