    I broke out my Gillette black beauty (O3) and my @Jayaruh brush #221 for this morning’s shave. I used a Personna lab blue blade and Stirling hot apple cider soap. What a nice shave!

    I shaved with these the other day in my Gillette slim adjustable and want to get your guys take on them. I’m almost positive they are vintage but I think I heard KenSurfs say you can still get these in South America new. They were kind of tuggy on the first pass but I don’t pass judgement on a new blade on its first use . Have you tried them ? And what’s your thoughts on its performance. I will try the Gillette blue blade at a later date 9CDF7CBB-EF69-459F-992B-410B7CC7B841.jpeg

    Are those Gillette platinum blades vintage? I’ve seen a Hindi-Pack on eBay for the same price as the regular style packs
