    So.....Now that Super Iridium blades are no more, I'd like to get some opinions on which blades are considered to be the most similar to the Iridiums.
     
  2. The fact that we say that a blade is higher than or similar to, and another is that 'our choice and our skin! Super iridium was nearly perfect, maybe I would buy again if I find a dealer in stocks! I have a little experience in the field yet, but reading the various book reviews and commentary on the internet, you speak very well of Kai blades, Gillette 7 o'clock, Personna red, Bolzano and if you have not tried yet ... for my part I suggest you also try the chrome strip diamant ...

    7 oclock yellows are good so are feathers. I have about 70 Iridium in stock I will use them sparingly.

    Well, I notice that all the dealers I checked say the the Iridiums are 'sold out'. That leads me to believe they can't get more.

    Of blades still available, my experience is that 7 O'Clock Yellows are closest to the Iridiums.

    The Astras, I believe. I recently went from Irridium to Astra and I think I like the Astras better.

    You mean the platinums, not the stainless, right?

    I agree Gillette 7 o'clock yellow are the closest
    for me to the Super Iridium

    Also Perma Sharp Supers are very much like Iridiums...

    That just means wetshavers ran out and bought up what they could find after hearing the rumors.
    Don't know who is supplying the Iridiums, but it takes time to get re-stocked.
