gillette super thins

[isaiah53]

just ordered a few gillette super thins off ebay, they were pretty cheap, i think theyre thai blades. has anyone got any experience of these? or any opinions?

 

[NotTheStig]

Yep, Very nice blades. Come in stailess or platinum, Vietnamese or Thai. both very good. Well thought of on here in the main

 

[Shipwrecked]

I was using the Gillette super thin platinum, and they were a cracking blade, however they are very difficult to get now, so I bought a couple of packets of the Gillette Super Thin New Stainless which I found to be dull and draggy.

 

[pugh-the-special-one]

Yes i have used them and rate them very highly, excellent choice of blade.

They are a good all round blade fella, sharp enough, smooth enough and will go for four to five shaves.

They were getting a lot of air play last year due to the Iridiums going the way of the Dodo and people hunting for a replacement.

 

[rangers62]

For me the best blades still in production. I believe the Thai and Vietnamese blades are manufactured in the same plant. (China?) I certainly can't tell any difference.

 

[Garbe]

These are my current favourite blades, smooth, Sharp and long lasting.

im liking the feedback here, looking forward to trying them out

My usual suppliers do not have these in stock so I do not expect to have any in the near future.

I do have the Super Thin New Improved Stainless . I will add these in the next few days.

PM dridiot on the site that dare not speak it's name. He was my supplier for some of the 300 thins that I bought :blush: Mind you they were £8 per 100 incl. delivery when I first purchased them, they must be double that now at least.
