Another new blade from Treet, the Trim ...
... and it's unlike Treet's other stainless blade, the King, which at the time I referred to as fierce (fierce, like playing with a Tiger) and mused that folks who like the Shark Super Stainless would like it, finding it like a refined Shark. The Trim is, alas, harsh. Granted, it's probably the same blade underneath with the King gaining an extra strop, or something. I noted on Treet's website that the Trim is the "Barber's first choice" and that gives us a clear indication as to its market.
... yet I also found it absolutely unlike what would appear to be its legacy sibling, the Trig. Marked as the "Silver Edge" the Trig often has that claim discounted and it's considered simply a stainless blade, but I do still wonder whether the edge is chromed as I find it has that neutral feeling, almost a dullness that I find with many chrome blades; not least yesterday's TJAX.
So, it's a stainless blade, it's aimed at professional use and in use it's somewhat unrefined. I was put in mind of the likes of Rapira Super Stainless or the Ladas Stainless. If you like those, you might like this.
