I make no bones about it, I am a big fan of the Gillette Platinum Blade, aslo known as the 'Swede' as it says something about Oslo on the cardboard packing of the pack.
I have found these blades to be perfect for me, but unfortunately they were discontinued probably more than a year ago now.
Whilst I have my 'stash' of them, I think it would be sensible for me to try to locate a good replacement that is currently available, and also easy to get hold of.
So my question is this. If you are a fan or long time user of the Swede blades, have you found a replacement that gives the same shave as the Swede did, and which blade is it?
For me, coming close were the Iridium (also now discontinued) and the Shark Super Chrome, although the Shark is not as sharp.
Regards
Ian
