Connaught has them - but not sure they're the same as the Thai ones?

They seem to be available in thai or vietnamese packaging. I've used both and found no difference. I've used "huynhson" and "dridiot" on the bay and both were fine.

I hadn't got round to trying Gillette Superthins but after reading this thread i got a pack from Connaught to try. Today was was my first shave with them. It was by far my best shave since coming back into the fold of DE shaving.
Merkur 34c HD, Gillette Superthin and Cella
until today i couldn't have answered the question " whats your fav blade "
i think i can now

Finally got round to trying one, a little rough on the first pass but got easier and a very clean shave (far better for me than the yellows but not as nice as the feathers ...)

Will try another couple over the coming weeks but if they work well, another excuse to buy some more blades.

I bought 50 from Connaught a few weeks ago and it's only just occurred to me that there are a mixture of Thai and Viet packs (the red colour differs and the text is different). Not a problem as I gather it's the same blade, but I do find it odd that Connaught are mixing and matching.

The Vietnamese ones are labelled as "Platinum" and there is no black on the packaging. The red is more orangey-red. There is also blue & yellow on the packaging.

The Thai ones are not marked as platinum and the packaging is exclusively red, black & white.

^^ That's it. I got 4 boxes of Viet, 2 of Thai. Strange coming from the one retailer, unless Paul knows that we like to dabble.
Not a complaint by the way (if you're reading Paul).
