Now Bolzano blades are among my three favorites (others are Feather and Persona Med Preps). I find them to be both sharp and smooth; easy to obtain very close, irritation-free shaves.
Used mostly in Rocnel Elite M, Charcoal Goods and a 1956 Gillette Adjustable "Fatboy".
Obviously YMMV

I'm fascinated by the the negative opinion most posters have regarding Bolzano blades compared to my own excellent experience.
Well, I'm a numbers guy so I did a survey of 15 specialty online shaving sites which 1) sell Bolzanos and 2) had one or more customer reviews.
I did not include Amazon since it's my experience that many of their 5-star reviews are fake. Looking over the reviews at the 15 sites - five international and ten U.S./Canada - they sounded legit.
Here are the results for 15 sites with a total of 58 review ratings:
5-star 40 69.0%
4-star 6 10.3%
3-star 7 12.1%
2-star 3 5.2%
1-star 2 3.4%
The average rating was 4.36
The international sites rated the Bolzanos higher (4.85) than the U.S./Canadian sites (4.22).
Turns out that Your "Mileage" really May Vary!

I think part of the reason reviews are mixed is that they moved factories from Italy to Germany. The old Italian blades are not the same as the newer German blades.
edit- i guess production moved longer ago than I thought so, that isn’t the explanation. Who knows? I see many people describe them as super sharp but, that has not been my experience at all.
