What’s the difference in your opinion people. Never tried a Nacet, but are they any better ?

Just tried a Nacet for the first time this AM was in a hurry the finish was not great and only one pass so not a fair test yet.

Nacets are sharp, consistent (see this razor blade sharpness test) and inexpensive.

Sharp blade + mild razor is a great combination for me.

Used one yesterday in my Rockwell 6C with plate 4. Smooth it is indeed and it would appear IMHO a little sharper than a GSB, judging by the few weepers I got. Definitely going to keep at least 50 of both in the stash along with my Polsilvers, Perma Sharps and Astra Greens

I'm the opposite. I heard a lot of people talking about GSBs when I started shaving with a DE, but I can't get a good shave out of them. Nacets on the other hand work really well for me, they're consistently good across the razors I have even if they might not be the best blades in each

All down to personal taste and technique, GSB is better for me Nacet no so good, makes the world go round

Indeed, personal opinion only. No judgment on the blades anyone uses as long as they work for them

RAMMING SPEED!!! said @Boycie83.... half an hour later he’ll say DEATH SPEED!

Are you 100% sure you’re enjoying your new job @Bogeyman? Do you realise that you don’t get paid and no toilet paper from @Boycie83

Ha. I just came on to trade a few nacets for GSB's

Nacets work really well for me. A really nice combination of sharpness and smoothness. I haven't tried GSB's so would like to see what all the fuss is about (apart from the rumoured glue spot being a pain in the arse!).

Only the old double wrapped ones have glue spots on the edges.

The newer ones do not have them.

Ha ha. Yes you are right, they are wax spots and it doesn't make a difference to the shave. But, now and again when I come across a Gillette blade that has an enough wax to make a candle and being the fat handed twat that I am, I get a little apprehensive in trying to remove the blade without cutting my fat unwieldy thumbs.

That meme btw, I'm not sure why but it's like looking at art masterpiece.

The more you look at it, the more you are able to appreciate the majesty of the composition.

Oh mighty cat eating salad how you are a beacon for modernity.
