Gillette Nacet

[IanR]

Gillette Nacet in my Feather AS D2 for first time. A memorable shave. Smooth and very close. Three pass with extended ATG produced almost no alum nip. Best yet in my new shaving experiences.

I have a Nacet in my Tech at the moment and it's like shaving with no blade in, except you end up with a face like a baby dolphin's bum! Really like them, smooth but effective.

Am I right in thinking the correct pronunciation is "Nashet" rather than "Nasset"? Edit: nope. It rhymes with Bassett. See video of Arabic advert a few posts further on.

The Tech is the razor that makes blades perform. Get a Tech put a blade in it. Great shave.
Ps I like the Tech it's my favourite razor.

Favourite blade in my techs.

When I discovered DE razors, a little over a year ago, I quickly zero-ed in on Nacet as my favourite blade. Very sharp, consistent and good value. Mild razor & sharp blade is a great combination for me.

Favourite blade of mine. For some reason that I can't recall, most of the Nacets that I've bought came from a seller in Jordan.

I have discovered that the name Nacet is Arabic and the blade destined for middle east markets. And it is pronounced just as you would expect in English, Nasset, rhymes with Bassett. This video is an ad for the plastic disposable Nacet II rather than the blades or the plastic-handled 3-piece razor sold in India etc. But the pronunciation should be the same I guess.

Warning: the dancing crocodiles will make you laugh but you'll have "Nacet twoooo, Nacet twooo-oo" going round your head all day and it might ruin your experience of an otherwise great shave, so only watch this if you don't believe me. Don't say I didn't warn you. Gillette should probably stop making ads altogether.

Interesting. As I recall, there were 3-piece Gillette (?) razors with the crocodile logo on the top cap, and which occasionally show up on auction site(s). Were these intended for markets other than the UK?

P.S. This isn't good. Now I need to find one of these Nacet razors!

Seemingly they're made in India (the 3-piece razor of the same name I mean). https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/to...&share_fid=20187&share_type=t&link_source=app

That's cool. Looks like a later Tech with an open comb and a top cap sponsored by Lacoste! Would be a nice thing to have and use if you ever found one.

I saw one on Fleabay quite some time ago, but thought nothing of it, and did nothing about it. Lacking in "Carpe Diem" at the time, evidently.
