I tried one Indian blade and found it rough as hell: any particular line you recommend?There seem to be a number of reasons to avoid using Russian made razor blades, aside from the political reasons I find PPI Russian blades to be really well made, very consistent but often a bit boring.
I set out to just use Indian made blades for this calendar month as a means to try to discover some blades I'd overlooked. So I've only used two Supermax blades so far and I'm really enjoying them so far.

I just bought 120 of the Treet 7 days, sound perfect for me as my favourite blades are Gillette 7 o'clock yellows.Thanks for this article. Very comprehensive and a good resource.
I know I like the Treet Platinum and thought I had already tried the 7 days, but had confused this with 7am, which is not a good blade. Both trying to attach to the cachet of the 7 o'clock range (now owned by Gillette but originally a rival I believe).
I will have to seek out a pack of those 7 days as I am 99% sure I've never tried them, and if they're similar to the Treet Platinum (and if the QC is consistent) I think I may end up with something new to stock up on!

Thanks pjgh, I do want a sharper Treet Platinum!Yeah, 7 O'Clock was originally AutoStrop. Rather than Gillette buying them out, it was actually AutoStrop founder Henry J Gaisman that out-patented Gillette to the point that they owned him ... erm, the company! Gaisman took over from King C Gillette as Chairman in 1930. Gillette himself died little more than a year later.
... but yes, 7 Days, AM, O'Clock is a powerful thing to align to.
Personally, I found the Samah 7AM to be very good indeed. I enjoyed it a lot. The Treet 7 Days Platinum however is a different thing entirely - very sharp and consistent. If you wanted a sharper Treet Platinum, this is the one for you.
