Gentleman and Willy's blades are the offerings on the Pearl website, and their recommended blades for their razors.Ah! It's was the Willy's brand before these ...
Well, there's this for starters ...
I was hoping to recognise names in the Directors list to see if it's an offshoot of Malhotra, or something ... but no.
"Our Vision is to become no. 2 conglomirate (sic) in the space of Razor Business in India by 2025" ... number 2, eh? Aim high! Second place? First loser.
Wanna know about their plant? Coming soon ...
Not to do it down as there are loads of really great blades to be found from India and I think it's well known that my preference is generally for something from that subcontinent. It looks to me like a startup. There seem to be loads if you scrape just a little below the surface. I do wonder who actually makes them, though. Coming in a "Saloon Pack" indicates that these are intended for professional use - as in Barbers.
Give 'em a go and let us know ...
Do you have a good point of reference, say, current market SuperMax Blue Diamond Platinum?
Another completely new one on me. I purchased some bits and pieces from one of our well-known UK suppliers of all things shaving, who was kind enough to
include a saloon pack of these Indian blades. According to the packaging, they are manufactured, packed and marketed by Posh Personal Care LLP, in the state of Haryana.
I will, of course, be doing some empirical assessment of these ("gift horses" and all that), but I wonder if anyone else has knowledge or experience of them?
It's fascinating how something completely new (to me, at any rate) in the blades department suddenly appears. I recall that not too long ago I, and others too, was worrying about blade famines or "Bladegeddon", but at least two previously-unknown brands have arrived in my blade store this year; both gratis on the back of other purchases.

Same here got the gentlemen’s blades, tried one and thought oh no this razor is no good, changed to a Astra platinum and it works fineWell are they any good? I just bought a pearl it was advertised with 55 gillette Wilkinson Sword blades, yet turned up with 50 of these gentlemen blades. Tbh they look cheap, not sure I want to let them loose on my face.
I've emailed the company to say not as advertised asking how do I return them.
I like playful tigers in the zoo, in a tank, in breakfast cereal boxes; anywhere except my razors, where they seem to get their claws out just for me.I did say that there's a rawness to many Indian blades ... raw, not harsh ... like a playful tiger!
