Thanks!

I have a used one that came in a razor, and I have heard of them before, that's all I got.


   
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.

I don't think these are the same. Duridium, yes but not the same cut/grind perhaps? Nothing on these about shaving and sound like box cutters......

I agree, Duridium is the coating process trademark name I guess, Star blades could be had with it too.

Hey, Dave. Just use them and see how they feel.  Tongue
I agree with Jayaruh 's assessment, but I wanted your opinion too.
