I have the regular Miracle Blades and really like them. Is the Miracle Blade III is better? Looks like the handles are what's different.

No significant difference, my sister has the regular Miracle blade and the set is very similar.

Not sure. I'd say no to serrated blades, in general. These are drag-through sharpening notches... straight steel blades sharpen wonderfully. Not sure what miracle blades are made of.

They are a highly regarded blade on the shaving forums and are relatively inexpensive. It comes in a paper box and doesn't take up hardly any space at all. I think your best bet is to get a sample pack so you can try a lot of different blades and see which ones you like and which one you don't before making a purchase of 100 blades. You would be surprised at what works for YOU and what doesn't.

All the same. They're not great, but you can't beat the price. Go to Home Depot, and you'll get four blades for that price. I use a Fein multimaster, and the machine makes a bigger difference in the speed of cutting than the blade does. These ones just don't last as long, but as cheap as they are, I don't mind burning them up in one use cutting plaster or anything else they're not meant for. Even the bi-metal blades are useless in wood after you go through one nail. I usually save the dull blades for cutting Sheetrock or plaster.

I wold not consider it a specialty blade, it should be the standard issue since it is in my experience far more efficient at blending over the original. For awhile I was considering springing for an ultra expensive blender until I replaced the blade. It now grinds through ice and smoothies like nobody's business. And I'm just an ordinary user in no way connected with the company.

Hi, I'm not sure I can find these blades available. Can you send me just a couple to try? What we have now just isn't working. It was a Christmas gift that went all wrong. I am so sorry this has happened. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. I sencerely thank you.

My wife bought the Fusion Proglide for me, and I had not used these blades before. My advice is to check with the Gillette website before you try to use other blades. Sorry I cannot answer your question. Benny

Bump Fighter Shaving System, buy the package with only two blades and handle (about 6 bucks) throw the two blades away (they suck) and use the personna's in the handle, handles are MUCH better then the old trac II. You will thank me. I myself am set for life!

I've used the Derby, but I like the Astra way better. It's just a much smoother shave for me. YMMV of course. I have 2 small kids, and a place to put the used blades is always a concern. You can get a "Blade Safe" for about $5 on Amazon. I know Feather makes one. All it is, is a small plastic box that cannot be opened. It has a slit in the top to put your used blades. It holds a couple hundred blades. After it's full, chuck it in your recycle container, and you're done.

For me it's all about the sharpness of the blade. I think Derby and Astra blades are very close in performance. Buy the derby if you like the container.

I am pretty sure they stopped making the older models. I couldn't find the older ones anyway. This one does have more power and is a very good knife. I think it is expensive but still a great knife.

I only ordered the Nisaku brand one so I don't have this one but I don't think there will be any difference at all. The Nisaku is perfect as others say this one is. I'll probably order another one since they are so useful. If I do I will order this one for comparison if it is still $2.50 cheaper. I ordered my Nisaku through "Japan Tools" handled by Amazon. The description of the other one is wrong at this writing. The length given is shorter but the Nisaku that I received was excactly the the same as the description for this one, 12 1/2' long with a 7 1/4" blade and a tang going into the wood handle 2 1/4".

Hey the price was right and I had Miracle Blade II which I gave to my son when I got the new ones. We use these every day.

I purchased the super blades separately. The Feather SS Japanese straight is fun to use, and with these blades it shaves very close. I normally shave with a traditional straight razor, but I alternate with the Feather if I'm in the mood for it. No need for stropping.

two different types of steel for the blades. the one you are looking at has aus 8a. the other one is san mai 3. the san mai 3 is supposedly a better steel. I have owned one of each. I loved the aus 8a, but wanted to try the san mai 3. That being said, I haven't had the san mai 3 long enough to tell you that it truly is better, but for the slight price difference I would recommend you go with the san mai 3. Did quite a bit of reading on it, and it appears to be the better blade. (I'm not sorry I upgraded so far)

I just tried different blades until I found the right one for me. Actually, I did not keep this long; many things I did not like, including how it fit too deeply into the bowl and was hard to turn. My nephew had a Foley brand, like one I had used before, on eBay, and I traded him. Am so very much happier with the Foley.

got a question here for this. Which blades are bigger in terms of thickness? I know some of these blades can be bulky...
