    Feather. Best blade for vintage aggressive razors. Second day with a Feather yields max comfort and efficiency.

    Astra SP

    because they went down to $7.31
    and I need to replenish the ones i have given away
    i'm working up to 1000+ blade cache
    buying blades keeps me from buying more expensive toys
    you can never have enough blades

    I bought a tuck of Gillette a Platinums today, wondering if they were similar to Silver Blues. Very similar packaging. Can anybody describe the difference?

    the white /blue box have the british address on them but are made in russia, the white/blue/silver platinum are from st petersburg. the white/blue have the arrows for dispensers long gone it seems..beyond that i am not sure .haven't done a comparison so far.. 20190516_184152.jpg they are definitely inked on different lines..

    I need more blades like another hole in my head but? If push came to shove, I'd buy a few more just to see what they were. This isn't an exaggeration but I have close to 3,000 blades. :eatdrink047:

    I’m definitely interested in the difference between Platinum and GSBs.

    The first time I bought a 100 it was Astra Platinum and they worked really well. I was about to buy a second 100 when they were used up but went with Personna last second. Personna seems to work a little better for me but I get 5 shaves per blade instead of the 6 I got from Astra.

    Both are Gillette "Platinum" and not Platinum vs Silver Blue. :)

    I ordered a box of 100 Personnas for $ 8.24 off amazon. Why, because I never seen them that cheap before on Amazon.com

    And just this morning, I ordered 50 Gillette Platinums (St Petersburg) and the reason being? They weren't cheap, they weren't a bargain but that damned "brit" got me interested in something that I wasn't interested in. How crazy is that? :)
