Frequently Asked Questions
Astra is arguably the most frequently recommended blade in wet shaving communities worldwide — and for good reason. It offers a balance of sharpness and smoothness that works well on most skin and beard types without being punishing. If you don't know where to start with blades, the Astra Superior Platinum is the safest first try — mild enough to forgive mistakes, sharp enough to shave cleanly.
If you want a smooth, gentle shave without any tugging sensation, the Platinum with its platinum coating is the friendlier option — ideal for daily use and sensitive skin. The Stainless is slightly sharper and gives a deeper cut, better suited for thicker beards or users who prefer fewer passes. If you're unsure, start with Platinum — you can always move to Stainless once you know your preferences.
If you shave daily and wonder how often to swap blades, an Astra typically holds its edge for 3 to 7 shaves — depending on your beard coarseness and how many passes you make. When you feel dragging instead of gliding, it's time to change. At the price per blade, there's no reason to push it beyond its optimal life — fresh steel always shaves better than a tired edge.
Yes, and this is a key practical advantage. Astra blades are standard DE format that fits every safety razor — Merkur, Mühle, Edwin Jagger, Rockwell, Tatara, or any other brand. No compatibility concerns, so you can try them in whatever razor you own without hesitation. They also come in half-blade format for shavettes.
If you're just starting out and worried about cuts, the Astra Superior Platinum is one of the best learning blades available. It's not so aggressive that it punishes angle mistakes, but it's sharp enough to give a clean result without multiple passes. Many users who started with Astra never switched — it simply works consistently without drama.
At HairMaker.Gr you'll find Astra Superior Platinum, Superior Stainless, and sample packs with detailed information on each type. Orders ship to Greece, Cyprus, and anywhere in the world through worldwide shipping — so wherever you are, getting Astra blades delivered is straightforward.
