Very good point - we're not targeting everyday shavers with this estimate. We're hoping this campaign can appeal to individuals just being introduced to single-blade shaving. Experienced Classic shavers know how many shaves they get out of each blade, they definitely don't need to be told!

Fair enouigh, Gareth, so why not simply say "between one and two years?"  Even one year for 100 blades at $10.00 is inexpensive and new DE shavers may take that "two years" literally and try to stretch the use of each blade longer than they should for their beard and skin type.  You might not have happy campers if they do.  Just my 2¢.


I have been using Rockwell blades for a few weeks now. I have been getting 8-10 shaves per blade. I've been very happy with them and just picked up another 100

I wish Rockwell adjustable was made of stainless steel as well. Then they would be something interesting.

Andrew, this might not, necessarily, be true if the Swedish steel lives up to its name. The steel being used might be of very good quality.
I have been getting up to 10 very good shaves with my Iridium Super DE blades, so these Rockwell blades might be able to exceed the standard 2-3 shaves that most get with their DE blades if they are manufactured properly.
Nonetheless, this is just a speculation on my part.

Does anyone have some of these razors, already and could offer their impressions?


I've been using their DE blades for about a month now and have consistently been getting 8+ shaves from them and I do 3 passes and shave everyday. Ive got 100 arriving today because I like them so much. Honestly has been the best blade I've used so far.

I have one that was slipped in a tryablade order. I tossed it in the back of the drawer. Guess I need to pull it out and use it.
