March 2021 Acquisitions


My first ever DE blades were a pack of Lasers, 40p from Wilko some 10 years ago. They’ve mot stocked them for ages.
 

Kinda bought on a whim - couple of the single edge blades are corrux that might be able to get cleaned up. Gillette silver sample pack
@SpeedyPC do you think it maybe was predecessor of the Gillette stainless that you have? (Red and white pack)
Couple Wilkinson sword old blades - I do like how there’s an insert letting you know that only one blade is left

pack of unopened Gillette platinum - anyone knows about those? Are they just DE blades packed in bigger packaging?

paying less than fiver for this lot delivered ... purchase totally unreasonable and on a whim lol!
 

Fairly sure the Gillette Platinum is larger, as it is in a metal dispenser and the Super Silver is supposed to be the same blade as the Gillette Spoiler.

The Red and White Stainless is a different blade from what I have gathered.

Thanks for the information! I'm just looking online for these gillette platinum and can't really find much about them tbh - the only ones I found were the 5packs in metal dispenser, however they are advertised as platinum-plus - wonder if it's just case of outer box marketing yet blade is the same

Cat was bemused by a kilo of TFS!



Much thanks @Pontormo for the VERY generous gift.

Your cat looks unimpressed.

I think that's down to the cat preferring Cella as their Italian Almond croap of choice, but also rated the Valobra one really highly, and laments it's discontinuation and holds little hope for the eventual Proraso reformulation.
