... a Treet for your face?

[Gairdner]

First shave with Treet 7 days blade, nice and sharp with a more audible/higher blade noise compared with Gillette 7 o'clock yellows.
Started off slightly harsh but smoothed off quite quickly, nice shave and a great alternative to the Gillette blades I have been using.

Never liked the yellows but I love Nacets. Looking forward to trying the 7days. Treet Platinum work great in my meagre Gillette TTO collection but Nacets and Personna PC feel better in milder razors like the 34C and RR GC .68. Still, I can put a Treet Platinum in any of my razors and get a great shave. Never been keen on many of the Russian Gillette blades with the notable exception of the Nacets and the Platinum. Some folk go daft for Super Iridium and GSB but I don’t rate them at all. I also loathe that almost universally liked blade, the Astra green. Lord Silver Stars are another vastly underrated blade that perform very well no matter the razor. I’ve never really tried the Supermax range but I used to enjoy the Indian Gillette Black.

I am very pleased with my first shave using the 7 days, definitely a similar shave to Nacets. Also no glue dots!

Looking forward to giving mine a run out tomorrow!

Only just noticed the fine chap on my cardboard Treet packaging is none other than Peter Bowles, known for his role as Richard DeVere in "To The Manor Born".

...Also no glue dots!

They are wax not glue and they have a very important purpose: they prevent the blade from sliding around in the packaging and dulling the edges. They dissolve rapidly in hot water as well when you rinse the razor.

Wax, glue who cares, I don't want the stuff on my blades.

Nope, not Lucky. Keep looking though.

Are we 100% sure it's not Boycie? It's his MO, after all...
YBMV, your Boycie may vary

Then don't buy them.

However, know that you are drastically limiting yourself as all Gillette DE blades have wax dots. Perhaps an hour spent with a good therapist would help you conquer that anal retentive quirk(?).

Mr Miyagi will help.
Wax on, wax off.

Quite a few DE blades I've used without wax have had issues with consistency, but that could be down to other factors. I've bought some blades without them but I don't think I would do so again.
