Pick'n'Pay in SA carry Williams shave sticks (in a container if I recall rightly for about R30), Prep cream (which I think is different to the Italian one in 100,250 & 500g tubs) & Palmshave creams.

They also list

Cheers hm .. .I'd found a few online vendors of some shaving stuff in S Africa, but none had Lion or Minora (or much else Mach 3 & Fusion cartridges). I will definitely be checking it out further.
 
Gentlemen,

I had responded to a similar thread on B&B to clear up a few doubts on the Super-Max brand of blades from Vidyut Metallics.

I am pasting the response verbatim here :

Clarification from Product Manager of Super-Max brand from Vidyut Metallics

Gentlemen,

I have added photos for the blades here

Super-Max Sunrise Super Stainless

Super-Max Tiger Super Platinum

Clarification on Titanium Edge Technology

I got in touch with the product manager of Super-Max here in their Mumbai HQ to check on the facts behind the Titanium Edge Technology.

I got in to a long discussion with him on the philosophy of these blades. What I am stating here are facts straight from Mount Sinai - so to speak.

He has verified that the Sunrise & Tiger blades are specifically manufactured for the premium DE segment in the Home Shaving Market. This is a new range to cater to the fast declining DE market. The innovation is expected to lure traditional shavers back to DE.

The current Stainless, Super Stainless and Platinum is targeting the not-so-premium price conscious market.

The Sunrise is indeed coated with Titanium for hard edges which will retain sharpness for 6-8 shaves. He has confirmed the presence of the Titanium edges.

The Tiger is coated with Platinum and is extra sharp for 6-8 shaves.

I also asked him about the name confusion between the existing Super Stainless and the Platinum blades.

He stated that the Sunrise and Tiger blades pass through additional QC process control to ensure those quality 6-8 shaves per blade, whereas the rest of the Super-Max range is focused on low-cost blades, hence the QC process is less stringent.

To summarize Super-Max hence has the following blades in current production in order of quality / cost.

* Stainless
* Super Stainless
* Platinum
* Sunrise Super Stainless (Titanium Edge Technology)
* Tiger Super Platinum


I trust this clarifies everything there is to know about Super-Max products.

Reading your opinons on these blades and the cheap price I have just ordered 200 for £7.20 off the bay including postage at this price you can't go wrong.

So did I last night. I used a Feather Portable. The shave certainly wasn't up there with Feathers/Astra I have used and I would imagine 2 shaves max for me out of these blades, but they got the job done.

I'll try one in my progress tonight.
