Amazing value. Better than Gillette, with some caveats...
As a value shopper, my 'white whale' is finding an inexpensive alternative to a necessity product that I have to buy regularly. This is that. Imagine finding a grocery store that sold the food you like at half the price, and there was no real down side. These blades are in most ways preferable to Gillette's overpriced replacement cartridges, and they cost around half as much. Really a life-changer if you have a thick beard like me and need all five blades when you shave.The biggest benefit is they seem significantly more durable than Gillette's cartridges. I can use one of these for weeks and barely notice any drop off in sharpness. With Gillette it seemed like there was a 10-14 day arc at the end of which you started cutting up your face a little. With these, it almost seems wasteful to switch them out since they're still going strong for weeks.The downside is they don't have a backward facing blade for precision trimming. They try to compensate by letting you flip back the top bar so the top most blade can serve as a trimmer, and that works okay but it's not quite as good. Still, overall it's a pretty minor concern, especially with the significantly greater durability of the cartridges overall, and the price being so much lower.Highly recommend.

Quality Blows Me Away!
I use these blades on my Gillette Fusion 5 handle. They fit the handle perfectly. The blade guards allow for the smoothest shave I have ever had. The shave is so smooth it is like the blades have cut beneath the skin yet there is no drag on the blades. I have gotten multiple really great shaves from each of these blades. No razor rash! Very comparable to Fusion 5. The price is the factor that seals the deal for me ... very reasonable! I have ordered these more than once and I am stocking up on them. I cannot recommend these blades highly enough and I cannot praise them highly enough and I have a tough beard!

Almost!
I've been a fusion user since they came out in 2006, and the only thing I've disliked about them was paying for them. I have tried every other less expensive option and always have been disappointed in the shave. Some are worse than others, but the sharpness and smoothness of shave from the fusion has always won. I'll admit that I'm pretty hard to please with a razor, and that I hate to shave, period. I just tried a Harry's free trial razor, finally thinking that all the talk can't be total hype, right? Way cool packaging, and cute sayings on an included rah rah card, a free sampler of Harry's shave gel (which I really like) and a nice looking razor handle with one 5 bladed cartridge on it. This razor was like taking an old fusion blade that was maybe 2 or 3 months old and shaving with it, maybe worse.So, I found these Persona Easy Fit blades for a good price, in a 12 pack, about $1.60 a cartridge or so, and they fit my fusion handle so I ordered a package to try. First shave, not too bad. Not nearly as sharp as the fusion, but for the price, not a total disappointment. Once again, the fusion rules but for the price. I could shave with these blades and probably be satisfied enough, except that I'm already ruined by the fusion. I wish I loved them, but I just like them. How Gillette can make a razor so blessed sharp and smooth and no one else can get close to that is a mystery that I'd like to solve. And, I found a 12 pack of the Gillette Fusion for $2.57 a cartridge, about a dollar more than the Personna package per cartridge, and honestly, that extra dollar buys me a whole lot more smoothness and comfort so I'm going to probably send these back and get the Gillette's. https://www.amazon.com/Gillette-Fusion-Razor-Blade-Cartridges/dp/B072LPZ9F6/ref=sr_1_11?crid=HMA8WL0IJRBR&keywords=gillette+fusion+12+cartridges&qid=1558382258&s=gateway&sprefix=gillette+fusion+12%2Caps%2C155&sr=8-11That is what I love about Amazon Prime. Not totally satisfied, send them back. I spend a lot of my paycheck at Amazon.com and am not shy about sending an item back if it isn't what I expected.Are these Personna razors a good deal? I mean, I gave them 4 stars. I'd say YES, compared to any other razor out there but the one I've been using since 06. And for the price, almost is pretty great.

This is the one!
I've tried a ton of replacements for Gillette Fusion which was my go-to for years. Harry's, Pace, and Schick. But not had the comfort and performance of the Fusion. I had initially ignored this option as I didn't like having a back-blade for trimming, but after realizing that the top guard flipped down to act like a close back blade, I gave it a try. I have to say that the performance of the blades are outstanding. The flip down mechanism isn't perfect, but once down it works better than a back blade and the comfort strips are better than Fusion as they don't get all goopy. All in all the best replacement I've found at a great price. P.S. Advice from trying lots of blades, generally it takes a few shaves to know how well a product is going to work long term. My beard has to get used to the angle of the new blade type. The 3rd day always feels better than the first. Also, invest in decent shaving cream instead of trying to get crazy with lubrication from your blade.

Not Great, Just Costs Less
A very lousy blade similar to disposable 2 blade razors. No aggression at all. Nowhere near as sharp as Fusion blades.Just a cheap alternative probably great for shaving legs, but not faces.
