Description
The Dorco ST-301 (originally made in KR, now VN) solidly combine sharpness, smoothness, and value in rather equal measures, while never exceptional at any one facet; there’s plenty of cheaper blades, but I think the Koreans’ manufacturing tolerances are exceptional, even with the move to Vietnam, and they’re worth a try or three for anyone whom doesn’t have a barbed wire beard (if you do, bow to max keenness above all other concerns, and stick with Feathers or the Russian blades of various name).
Plastic reservoirs of ten blades with a used blades slot underneath.
Thankfully, internal packaging’s been simplified since the early ’00s; gone is the stupid double paper and wax, so the ‘shavette’ user crowd should like ST-301s better nowadays as they snap cleanly and have no dabs of wax and just a simple paper wrapper per blade.
