GSBs are sharper than Platinums and cut closer, quicker. The Platinums feel "old school" like the blades of yore that were just really mellow but also gave a great shave every time, BBS easily if you want it. I never get a nick, cut, weeper, or red irritation with a Platinum, no matter how hasty or sloppy my shave is. I prefer Platinums to Silver Blues, but I like Silver Blues too. I've bought hundreds of them from him, he's a good and well known seller. There's an eBay seller from Sweden who has the Plats as shown in your picture, for around $15/hundred. Gillette Platinums are readily available. Now I've confused myself, if I broke this thread, apologies. I just ordered a Rhodium plated LC.I absolutely love Rhodium. Oh, and razors, I'm doing three shaves each: 1.
The last time I tried them, I thought, "meh." This time I got a DFS every shave, and with my essential tremors, that's the best shave I ever get. Rapira Super Swede/Personna Med Prep.Īnd, yes, I believe there is a difference between Med Preps and Blue Labs.I call that on-going argument-"Personnas of the Mysteries," named after an old book: Motel of the Mysteries. Needless to say, my Blade Brothers here at BnB had a huge affect on my blade surfing.īeginning my current, unscientific test, my top 4 were:Ĥ. I had a short affair with Crystals, but, being fickle, quickly switched to Voskhod. Then Gillette Yellows, followed by Personna Labs and Med Preps. When I first started dipping my toe into the shallows of that huge ocean of blade brands, I used Oscroft's comparisons as a guide, and it worked pretty well.įor a while, I was certain Gillette Blacks were the best ever. I'm finding technique is much more important than blade, assuming a good blade-and what is a good blade is certainly debatable, too. That said, I have pretty much set my razor rotation, and am going back through my rather large collection of blades. When I try a different blade, then go back to the Feather, I wonder why I left.
