Would anybody have a use for 50 Astra blades? Yours, posted, for the price of a couple of beers forum donation.
Astra are some of the most liked DE blades available and I enjoyed using the first 50 (I bought 100) but have discovered that Feather blades are much more suitable for my face.
CSB and oversharing alert. Whilst I don't have the densest face hair, I have a condition called Pili Multigemini (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pili_multigemini) which means that I have anything from two to five hairs growing out of each hair follicle on my body. An Astra blade tends to last about 5 to 10 shaves for most people, but I can only manage one shave out of one before it goes blunt. The Feather blades last for 2 to 3 shaves for me (instead of about 7 to 12 for most people).
