Question 1

Are this true and nade in Japan or Chinese japan ?

Accepted Answer

While the packaging says the blades are made in Japan, Amazon states that they cannot guarantee or verify that descriptions provided by sellers are accurate. Because of the millions of items sold, that is certainly understandable. Genuine Feather blades from Japan are excellent and are one of the keenest blades on the market.  There are several vendors selling 'Feather' branded blades and, assuming the comments are accurate, some customers are receiving blades that aren't sharp, don't last through several shaves, and do not seem to be of Feather quality. It's a known problem that counterfeit items are produced and sold online. If I were the Feather company, I would come up with a laser holographic seal or similar to mark genuine items.

Question 2

I have been buying these blades for years . They don’t seem to be as sharp as they once were . Has anyone else experienced this ?

Accepted Answer

Blades are not the same from a few years ago. I have not changed anything with my shaving routine. This last batch of Feather razors pull hair, sound harsh shaving and leaves break outs.

Question 3

How often do you have to change the blade for a smooth shave?

Accepted Answer

I don't usually go past 4 shaves on any blade.  Even the more expensive Feather blades are pretty inexpensive in the grand scheme of things.  I don't notice an appreciable drop off between shaves 1-4, but I have a pretty easy beard to shave, so it could be different for someone with a more wirey beard.  You can't go wrong with Feathers.

Question 4

do these blades have an expiration date? I bought 100 stanley blades  for my box cutter and what I thought was a lifetime supply rusted

Accepted Answer

I checked m supply of Stanley  box cutter blades that I have had for more than ten years  and they do not have an expiration date on the dispenser, however the blades do have iron in them ( I confirmed that with a magnet) which makes them subject to oxidation (rust).  Burrow line is they need to be stored in a dry place. I hope this helps.
