While I hear that getting one of the variety blade packs is best for a new safety-razor shaver, this deal was too good to pass up so I had to order it.
These blades are incredibly sharp. They come in a big green thin cardboard box and there's 20 little plastic boxes inside with 5 razors each. On other blade-holders you get a slot on the bottom to put your old blades when they get dull, that is not the case here. The bottom is solid and instead you have to open the little flapdoor in order to take out AND put in (old) blades. There are 2 compartments in the main compartment, one for new, one for old. That's not an issue, just saying how these are different from other blades I have used.
These blades are incredibly sharp, and I would definitely say that they are sharper than the Sharks that came with my safety razor when I bought it. The blades are great.
The Arko soap is the main draw for me to this deal. I thought it would be terrible and messy. It's not. It's honestly kind of amazing to rip a little bit of the foil off one end, wet your face, wet the stick, rub the stick on your face and get no lather or way of knowing you have soap on your face whatsoever, and then take your wet brush and smother your face with it and all of a suddenly lather magically forms on your face and brush, enough for like 3 passes. A little goes a long way and its really great but you need to watch the moisture content of your brush as you are building the lather right on your face and there's no way of knowing its too wet until it starts dripping all over your sink off your face. Everyone in my household loves the smell (except the dog and the cats who ran away). It's honestly really strong, but not unpleasant. It kind of smells like that blue toiletbowl cleaner that they always doublewrap at the grocery store because the stuff is so caustic. It smells like that except more fresh and manly like musky Dove soap I guess. Let the stick dry when you're done, and don't be messy and it wont fall apart. It's honestly not that easy to ruin and even if you do it's cheap. I read some people smash it into a bowl and use it like a traditional shave soap. I don't get why you would do that when the stickform is so convenient. NO BOWL NO MUG just the stick and your brush. After using Arko I kind of feel that building lather in a mug is a waste of time. I wish Proraso had a shave-stick.
With as cheap as the blades are, you can use a fresh blade every time you shave. With as cheap and great as the Arko is, you don't have to waste money trying other fancy shaving soaps and getting a sub-par shave. Arko, and C.O. Bigelow and these blades are wonderful. You don't need anything else.

So since this isn't sold by amazon, I'm mainly reviewing the seller (Wish4Star).
I received this order in a "timely" fashion (it's shipped standard USPS and so took a few days... maybe 5 or so). All the items in the pic showed up and the packaging was compact and secure.
However, upon going through all the razors (great selection of blades BTW), I noticed that one box had been opened and a razor had been opened! Yuck!! So I contacted the seller and he assured me this had never happened before (I have a feeling he's telling the truth) and that he would send me a new box asap. Well I just received my replacements (yeah he sent an extra pack!), which showed up quite quickly.
So all in all I trust this seller & had a very positive experience with him. I will most likely be purchasing in bulk from him once I settle on a single brand of razor.
