Astra is one of the most sought-after, cold-war era European double edge razor blade brands. Originally hailing from the Czech Republic, little is known about Astra's origins. They were the largest producer of double edge blades in the former eastern bloc state until 1996, when Gillette smelled opportunity, bought them up, and moved production to Russia. Today, they're known for their hardy, platinum-cased razor blades that deliver a shave as smooth vodka served in a block of ice.
This is a beautiful razor…and I can always count on Thiers-Issard to deliver their razors “shave-ready”. This was a great purchase from Grownman Shave…
It lathers well, and smells amazing. The wifey approves!

It's always a pleasure to do business with a trustworthy company.
I just got the B&M Dune-themed 'Melange' shaving soap in the mail last night (P.S. HUGE shoutout to GrownManShave.com for being super responsive and accommodating through a shipping issue due to an error of address on my part. Thank you, Laura!). I was soo excited to get to shave with this soap today as I'm a big Dune fan (the only book I've ever read twice). I was a bit hesitant as I heard it is a very "spice-heavy" soap (for obvious reasons...the spice must flow!), and that's not usually my cup of tea, but man was I wrong! The smell is amazing, definitely stronger than my other B&M soaps, the spice sent filled the bathroom, and I liked it so much that I decided after the shave to neglect my usual B&M Seville aftershave balm because I didn't want to lose that spice sent. It's been about an hour since my shave and I can still smell it on my face - it's terrific! I think I'm going to need to pull the trigger on the Melange balm as well.
If you're a Dune fan or just want to know what it would feel like to shave in the warm desert breeze on the sands of Arakis....then this soap is for you!
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings obliteration. I will face my fear and I will permit it to pass over me and through me."
Quality product; soothing and invigorating!
If I'm investing that much in a razor I want to keep it safe and protected. PLUS! This little thing is HEAVY and LOOKS cool AF! GET ONE!
Good things come to those who wait. THIS THING is GREAT ! ! ! Feels like the closest shave I've ever had. It actually makes shaving pleasurable... and I hate shaving! GOOD LUCK with your search!!
Blade cut through facial hair smooth and effortlessly. Was very easily able to edge up facial hair lines. Blade definitely does not disappoint.
As stated in my review, this stuff smells amazing!!
I highly recommend the Merkur 37C Heavy Duty Slant Chrome Safety Razor and Grownman Shave Co. The customer service is top notch.
