Haha! Lovely, innit?OP, you were right in that the Super Platinum is the best. I used one today and it's right up there with other top tier blades. Now if we could only decipher what name it has "morphed" into.
Now then, I think the SuperMax Blue Diamond Platinum was the successor. It is different and I think that is down to the new sputtering technology. Simply put, they've change processes so there is not going to be a definitive replacement. Amongst the other named platinum blades, there's the Zorrik and Vidyut brand both with "New sputtered ..." and "New robotized ..." in the graphics. There's also under the SuperMax brand another platinum called the Diamond Edge which features a blue diamond on the front.
Right! I think these three and the current market Blue Diamond are all the same blade ... but, the Diamond Edge felt to have a better finish than the Zorrik and Vidyut brand ... and seemed to have a smoothness a degree or so better than the global Blue Diamond Platinum. I think, although most likely nothing more than me wanting to find a difference. There probably isn't.
Summary? SuperMax Blue Diamond Platinum or SuperMax Diamond Edge is a damn good replacement to the old SuperMax Super Platinum. It's not a direct replacement but does make for a logical successor.
