Gillette Nacets or Gillette Rubies, which do you prefer?

I really liked both the Rubies and Nacets, for me there's not much between them....except the cost, Rubies are not worth twice the price

On that point, you have a very valid argument. The Nacet Stainless are cheaper for now to buy. I say for now as prices for some blades seem to vary greatly from time to time. For some reason the Rubie blades are not as heavily exported as other by Gillette. Since it is also the most expensive Gillette blade sold in Russia there must be more to this. Maybe the Russkies keep a shorter leash on the best blades & best vodka. :D ;)
 
Well i think i prefer the rubies over the nacets.That doesn't mean i don't like nacet blades.
Now i want to ask something else.What do you know about the new Gillette rubie Plus over the Gillette rubie platinum?Are they the same?

Well I had a talk with a supplier regarding the box design and pointed out that the word platinum was missing off the box and he said it was a box redesign and the blades inside the box are printed up as the old ones , with the word platinum on the the blade and indeed they are the same blades .....no need to worry , just as good as ever.
Some people did get worried over the different packaging but fear not , I have been useing these blades and they are as sharp as a mother in laws tounge and as smooth as smooth can be.
I agree with you I also love Nacet blades but I love rubies more! :)

There were some concerns about the new packs being fakes but as Blademonkey says still the same blades inside a redesigned package.

Yea when I first started seeing the packs without the word platinum on the box I was concerned but A. It's a big thing to miss a word off the packaging if you are trying to fake blades and B. After talking to the vendor and then trying the blades for myself I am 100% sure these are pucker and very nice too, I know it sounds silly but I did look down at my razor to see if there was a blade in it while I was shaving, that is how smooth they are, they cost a little more, But not twice the price of Nacets as I've seen mentioned somewhere and imo worth the little extra if you can get hold of them. :)
