Apolo DE Blades
In addition to my Feather straight razor, sometime I shave with Edwin Jagger 89 razor with Derby and Astra blades. However, I recently came accross this brand which looks like they stopped Blade production called "Apollo". Based on what I found they made about three blade series.
Apollo- Pacific
Apollo-Ben-Hur
Apollo-#5
If anyone had a change to use any of them, please let me know.
Where did you buy them?
Thank you

Peronally I thought that I had tried every double edge balde ever known to man kind but that one got me stumped.

Apollo went belly up decades ago. Any vintage blades you'll find may have corrosion on the edge even if they are still in the wrapper. I see them come up on ebay and they are usually priced from a vintage collectible point of view. Add to that they probably were made before the technology of blade making had improved to the point where they would be a great shave. I have vintage slant DEs made by Apollo and Ben Hur. Good but less aggressive than the Merkur which survives today because it was the best one IMO.
