    Gentlemen, whereas I still haven't compared this blade to others of the Gillette Platinum variety, I am comparing this blade to the "Spoiler" Gillette blades from late mid 60's to 82's varieties, and my conclusion is the Gillette Platinum blade shown is equally as good, without a doubt. ;) Now I'm aware of the YMMV but as you're all aware, I've been around the block several times before. :p Anyway, if you get the chance to, I'd advise you giving them a try. :eatdrink047:

    awesome sir..not many have said this.. in fact you are the only one i have read so far..i love the spoilers for their smooth and sharp shave ,with great longevity.i will give these blades a more serious trial..thank you..spoilers are the only blades i tried to get as many shaves as i could to test their longevity as the are hugely expensive..10 comfortable shaves so far before starting to get dull and binned it..a modern readily available blade as good as a spoiler .subjective i know..would be awesome..gsb and most others dull out at 3-5 for me..nacets about the same..onward and forward..
