Amazon Customer 1 The blades are already dull straight from the box, unless it is just the angle of my shaver that is at fault. But, if I use shaving cream, the problem is largely ameliorated. I know it sounds strange, when I mention its mainly an issue if Intryntomshave without cream, but It seems to me they ate exceptionally dull. And I bought the hundred pack, albeit at an exceptionally low price. I am wondering ifnit's not my blades but my razor, though.
