...Are these really 3 different blades ?
Until now I've had no issues with those I mentioned but maybe I've been lucky.I pretty much like most Russian blades.
but i have had some dodgy ones in the same pack.
My ultimate favourite at the moment goes to Gillette Super Thin Platinum from Thailand
Can’t fault them
Don’t get me wrong i haven’t had many issues but definitely on 2 -3 occasions iv had blades that didn’t cut itUntil now I've had no issues with those I mentioned but maybe I've been lucky.
At risk of confusing yourself furtherI now have 3 favourite blades from the same factory !?
Fair comment @Digimonkey.At risk of confusing yourself further- have you tried the Nacet blades from the same factory? I find them excellent in pretty much any razor I've used them in. Cheers - I.
I think the point of my thread was to convince myself to fine tune my inventory to only the blades in that five star category as you put it @pjghYep! Lovely, sharp blades and where, say, the Nacet might be just too sharp the Permasharp Super sits just behind it; sharp and safe. It's one of a very short list that I give a full five stars to.
It's a slippery slope - then there's Moscow, the competition - Voskhod, Ladas and a rainbow of Rapiras.Bugger it I might as well go through the full card from St Petersburg
Speaking of FOMO, as in a previous post, the Super Iridiums have gone the way of all flesh, with only limited quantities available (at a price) from e.g. Razor Blades Club. Other respected blades, like Personna Lab Blues and Med Preps have disappeared from Personna's website (and Connaughts and Robbins, too); Gillette Ninjas seem to look scarce. Shavepocalypse?Astras and Yellows were poor for me and I didn’t much like the Greens either. The Perma-Sharps are good, GSBs fine, Platinums excellent Sputniks and Minora too. Haven’t tried Rubies but am currently investigating Super Iridiums. Same factory and surely there’s ‘badge engineering’ going in? I don’t much care though as along as there’s a plethora of quality, reliable blades out there, I’m happy.
