Suitable for those who want to avoid irritation or try a milder shave. ※Usable lifespan: Approximately 1-2 shaves ※The usable lifespan is not "until it becomes dull," but rather the number of shaves where the blade still provides a meaningful and comfortable experience. ■ Key Points ・Allows you to compare the "standard blade" and the "mild blade" side-by-side ・Easy to understand the direction of sharpness and comfort ・A set for those who want to quickly find their preference ▼ Product Notes Astra is often treated as a "standard blade" worldwide due to its balanced performance. It serves as a starting point for determining the direction of "sharper" or "milder" blades. On the other hand, Shark is not a blade that competes on sharpness, but rather prioritizes minimal irritation and safety, making it a "practical blade for everyday use." By using both blades side-by-side, the difference in shaving feel becomes more apparent. ■ Shipping Method ・Yu-packet Post Mini (anonymous shipping) ・Shipped in simple packaging ※The usable lifespan of the blades is an estimate based on general usage.
