After much pushing and pulling we ended up with a high quality razor blade that is both sharp, smooth and double coated with Platinum & PTFE. I credit the strength and versatility of the blade to the Swedish Steel we finally settled on while the dual coating ensures durability, lower friction and drag reduction over multiple uses. Thus making our Stranglet Super Sharps Super Smooth and consistent!
Usual mega over hype but I like PAA’s wacky pseudo ’50s rocket man in space, iron giant, reds under the bed, atomic nutcase vibes. Blades might be great then again they might not. I ain’t gonna be swayed by the marketing though…Since some of you guys are cuckoo over PAA brushes I thought I'd post that they have introd their own proprietary blade. The sales pitch is simply "over the top" and tsunami level BS!!

What are the non Gillette MIC blades you have used Sean?
I've used a few, a Baili one which I can't remember anything about, and a few others which names I can't recall but they were the worst blades I have ever used.
Ying Jili Platinum and another whose name has totally escaped me. Both were very rough
I had a look around, the two Tian Li blades are the worst blades I have ever used.
The MIC Rockwell blade is an absolute stinker as well. The Super Shave X is another MIC blade, which is better than the other non MIC Gillettes but I never found the SSX massively comfortable, but it's a good nonetheless.
