Gillette Nacets or Gillette Rubies, which do you prefer?

[Blademonkey]

I started this thread back in 2016 and although I have now found a blade that betters the Rubie I still have the Rubie in my number two spot, one of the best blades out there only to be beaten by the now discontinued but still available, the Polsilver Stainless out of Lodz Poland. Available at Shaving ie. So imo the Rubies are still the best blade still in production YMMV! P.

The brown box one? Yes, I have a tuck or two and it was a great blade. Very smooth. Did you ever try the Gillette Goal Super Platinum? I thought SeanC PIF'd you one(?).

Yes the brown box, unbeatable imo. I did try the GGSP and I thought it was good but it didn't knock my two top blades from their posistions.

Jel999, how many shaves do you normally get on a Rubie blade? I regularly get seven and today shave #4 on one was as good as shave #1. It's one of the few blades I push past three shaves.

I don't try to push it, plus the fact that I shave maybe 3 times a week & I have quite heavy growth so they have to work for a living. Normally 4 or 5 shaves. The best blade out there. I'm selling my remaining Polsilvers & buying more.

I got to 4 on a Rubie and felt I couldn't use it again. I am now trying a Nacet and I think I prefer this so far.

Anyone know of anywhere in the UK to buy both of these in bulk?

They do not sell Nacet. Ebay is the best bet for it.

Thanks I'll have a look on ebay always worried me for fakes on there had a bad experience

Sorry guys, thought they would have, because they do sell a lot of Gillette blades (my bat)

Connaught do them in quantity, they may not be the best deal on the market, but you can be sure of the legitimacy of the product and the service is excellent. Alternatively keep an eye out on the BST. I think Paul @Blademonkey was selling some of his hoard of blades a short while ago.

I liked both Nacet and Rubie blades and purchased 100 Nacet off ebay for about £12.

They are sharp and smooth and work well in my Tech
