As to say which is the better blade between the different covers, they are the same blade IMHO just in different packaging for selling purposes.
Today's shave:
- Stirling Coniferous
- Omega "Veteran" EVO
- Edwin Jagger 3ONE6 with Sputnik blade
- Pino Silvestre Classico AS
The Vidyut Super Stainless I will be revisiting soon. I have found the Super-max (Blue Diamond Platinum & Titanium) like the vast majority of subcontinent blades not so much sharp but very smooth and comfortable which is something I like in a blade. I'm doing a revisit blade focus with subcontinent blades which I've enjoyed, the Treet 7days platinum are at the top of the class to date. I intend to carry on the SC Blade focus until the end of the year into 2023 revisiting various other Treet blades i have in my vast DE blade collection, Gillette 365, WS Saloon Pack) The RK Stainless, Sunny Supreme Stainless, Gillette Winner (Platinum &Stainless) Lancet Super Platinum, Gillette 7'0clock Super Platinum, and try out the V12 (Super Platinum). As i have such a large amount to contend with I'll be using each blade for two shaves max then it gets binned regardless of or if I can get more shaves from them. A luxury i can afford to waste. I've learnt a valid lesson with my past impulsive DE blade buying bouts that is, I have enough blades to last me for another two lifetimes. Yours- Barry.Regarding Trig Blue vs Green packaging ...
While there is a different price point, I'm inclined to agree.
Consider also, Wilkinson Sword (regular) vs Wilkinson Sword Economie (with the yellow card). Same blade on the face of it, once unpacked. Likewise, Vidyut Super Stainless (in the blue Wizamet-style packaging) vs the Vidyut Stainless (in the burgundy/yellow packaging), again same blade once unpacked.
I have a completely unconfirmed thought that it might be the lesser priced are less finished ... or rather the higher priced get an additional strop, or something, to ensure a smoother shave from the off. Or, simply the same blade and we're finding infinitely small differences because we think there's a difference.
Should have been a Taiga razor?No Lego people!?
