100 Treet Carbon Steel"The Black Beauty" Double Edge Safety Razor Blades

I am very positively surprised by these razor blades. I have what I would consider a medium beard growth, my facial hair are not coarse but not soft either, my skin is pretty sensitive. In my Muhle R41 (which is broadely considered an "aggressive" DE safety razor) the Treet Carbon "Black Beauty" works extremely well for me. Very smooth shave, needed only 2 passes for a BBS shave. Usually with other blades I need 3 passes (including the highly praised Feather blades, which are undoubtedly very sharp and great blades but unfortunately cause me quite some skin irritations). I'm so delighted with this combination of razor + treet carbon blade. Hardly any skin irritation, no razor burn and no tugging. Fantastic ... and yes, these blades do rust. They need a bit more care. I usually take 'em out after shaving, rinse and use a hairblower to dry them. That seems to work quite well. I get three fantastic shaves out of one blade before it degrades and I need to discard it. The cost per shave is a few cents. I love that. The extra effort in "babysitting" the carbon blades with the quality of shaves is totally worth to me. As always, YMMV. Like others mentioned, I would suggest to get a sample of these and try 'em out.

Some say that this blade "tugs" at their beard, and that isn't desirable. I get what they are saying, but for me that "tug" is what I use to gauge my angle and speed of shaving. I love it ... no, I need it. This allows me to get a very close shave without razor burn.I have tried all kinds of de blades. I have found that coated ss blades cause irritation and redness. Plain ss are okay, but can still cause issues unless I am careful and use quite a bit of shaving cream. Carbon steel is what has worked for me. Sadly, there are not that many brands available in carbon. These Treet blades with their black "coating" (not sure what to call it -- it's not a coating like on ss blades) are perfect. They are inexpensive, sharp but not insane, and get the job done. Just make sure to toss them before they rust.Oh, and NO WAX DOTS gluing them to their wrapper. I can't stand blades that have wax -- and even some paper -- stuck to them when you unwrap them. These Treets are ready to rock right out of their wrapper.

It is sharp and smooth. However, keep in mind that these blades are dependent upon a good razor and some practice. The value is amazing. If I take the time to dry the blades and store my razor in my bedroom instead of the steamy bathroom, I can get 4 or 5 shaves per blade. It isn't necessary at this price, but I wanted to test the metal of the blades.As an aside, I haven't used a safety razor in 30 years until recently and the manufactures will be pleased to learn that an American Infidel cut his own throat with their product... Even if it was just a minor nick...

I am a long time Astra Platinum user that decided to try something new. Came across some reviews on the Treet "Black Beauty". Decided to give them a try and I am very pleased. The main thing to know about these blades, is that they have achieved a very sensible goal. To remove your facial hair, whilst preserving your skin! I have found from the many blades I have tried, that the sharper the blade, the more of your surface skin it will remove with each pass. Risking irritation, cuts, weepers and the like. Even with the best technique and shaving creams, etc. , this is inevitable. This is where the genius of this blade comes in! And if you have a significant amount of beard growth on your neck like I do, you will quickly learn the value of this blade. This carbon black blade is plenty sharp, and produces a supremely smooth shave. The best feeling that I have had in my years of DE shaving. A little patience with your good technique, and you will benefit from using this special blade. As with anything, I am sure that YMMV. But I can tell you that my experience matched the best reviews I saw on the web about this Treet carbon steel "Black Beauty". Note: For best results use with an aggressive razor.

Great comfortable blades. I would consider these mild even in an aggressive razor. I guess it might depend on the hardness of your water, but these blades seem to rust on me as soon as I’m done with them on the first shave. I’ve tried wiping them off. Carbon steel can rust but at the current price, these are still a good value at a single use. I plan on trying more Treet blades.

Pleasantly surprised with these carbon steel blades. No irritation. Sliced right through my whiskers, and the wiry tough hair around the chin area had no issues. Works well with any razor I've paired it with so far. And can't beat the price. Well worth it.

Great Razor, very sharp BUT its only good for 2 shaves and on day 3 it starts RUSTING. Price is good, but I still prefer ASTRA, DERBY, PERSONNA, POLSILVER since they are stainless steel not carbon steel as Treet is and they last me 6 shaves and can go for 10 shaves and never rust and still feel good. Again TREET is a great sharp comfortable razor but for only 2 shaves.

I've always wanted to give carbon steel blades a try, so I went with these. First, the good. The black look makes them look cool. That's it for the good. Unfortunately, for actually shaving my face, they're terrible. They're not sharp, not smooth and there's noticeable tug and pull from start to finish. Even after two passes there were still patches on my face with stubble. Oh, on top of all that, they rust as well. Any stainless steel, platinum coated blade is worlds better than this mess. If you want Treet blades, pass on these and go for the Platinum Super Stainless version that they make instead - those are excellent.
