I have relatively coarse beard and sensitive skin, so finding blades for me is hit or miss. These make quick work of it without tugging or scraping, and last a long time (4th shave and still going). Feathers are a bit too scrapey for me, so my top blades are Perma-Sharp, Gilette Nacets and Platinums. These feel comparable to the Perma-Sharps on my skin.
