I've been using these blades for years, and they are the only ones I find satisfying. I've tried many new ones, as these can be hard to find, but I always come back to these. And I'm a woman. = )
I'm a woman, and this is my favorite razor. Blades advertised for women don't work as well for me., nor do the blades made by Schick that are supposed to be more updated than Hydro 3. My husband also likes this one--he finds blades advertised for women to be just as good. Who knows why. I hope they don't stop making this one.
