Non Russian made alternatives to Gillette Yellows?

Your Kidding
Best blades iv got by a country mile

r u kidding? Tried the whole pack with different razors and didn't work in any of them. Just pulling and tugging, and the beard was still there. Your Mileave DOES vary. Considerably. However, just to clarify, I did come across another Gillette super thin "platinum". Those are completely different. Not my favourite blades, but definitely usable.

I don't think there is anyone on here who will not be shocked and saddened by current world events but I would ask that they are not commented on here. We all buy in accordance with our consciences so let that simply be a given.

Thanks.

I will reiterate yet again that I subscribe to that Russian mole's insider info on another forum that Gillette only makes three different DE blades and then utilizes a "shell game" of names. Occam's razor.

Just an FYI, the "Shanghai Blue" (Super Gillette Blue Blade) & London Bridge are easily two of the best DE blades extant, bar none.

I currently use Russian blade, Gillette Nacet. Should I boycott them. Well, no. That wouldn't help the UK supplier. The UK supplier would've already paid for them and sent the money to Russia, or where ever. The potential issue, for me, is will they get anymore once supplies run out. If we and many other countries no longer import from Russia due to not being able to send payment via the banking system. Would there now be panic buying on remaining stocks of Russian blades or a boycott of them.

This was along the lines of what I was thinking; I'll continue to buy from UK suppliers until stock runs out. However, I am looking at other blades to try someting new.

I have no issue with the people of Russia - only the bastards who are prosecuting this war and their war crimes. If the owners/operaters of the factory that produces the blades in St Petersburg were linked to Putin and his evil, then I would change my position.

As ever YMMV.

So then, which are the cheapest incarnation of each of the 3 blade types?

You're on your own there.

I will unabashedly recommend the dirt cheap Indian Gillette 365 & the Chinese Gillette WS blades as they shave superbly.

I don't think MIC Gillette Wilkinson Swords made/sold any more but there are other MIC Gillettes Super Blue, Super Thin Thai & Vietnam, London Bridge which are easy to get hold off and are excellent.
