I've used a Chinese Gillette platinum blade today and I liked it. It was smooth and sharp.

Auchan, not in the UK

I was surprised I haven't found a dedicated thread for Gillette Platinum DE blades. Check out what I found today at the supermarket:

1936 British Gillette Aristocrat (pre #15 set?) 10 minutes after i've made the payment I saw the bent teeth. This really made me think about how much I've spent lately on shaving gear.
