The only reputable brand is the Gillette-Wilkinson Sword one. Gillette has a factory in China producing these blades for the India and Asian market.confirmed they are made in china via the website. Now the question is what brands and are made in China or DE blade factories ???
Glad that you're stepping up to try these blades. Just for the packaging, these blades are intriguing. Looking forward to hearing about how they perform.My blades say they are in transit
I will be honest. I don't truly expect to like them. I am so picky about blades. I have only liked 4 I have tried so far. The 4 Sharpest.Glad that you're stepping up to try these blades. Just for the packaging, these blades are intriguing. Looking forward to hearing about how they perform.
I was an active member of another shaving forum (don’t judge me!) when all of this went down. It was better than any reality TV. Almost painful to watch, but so entertaining. Mind boggling really.Ask some people who lived through it in realtime if it's confabulated.
The smart thing to do, if you are worried about biasing your results, is put all the blades in a box and pick one at random. Then load it without looking at the blade.I will be honest.

Great idea. I am pretty good at being unbiased causenof packaging. If they are as sharp and smooth as Nacet they stay.

Along with Andrew Mellon and Henry Clay Frick, for whom multiple things in Pittsburgh are named for. Frick, I beleve, was the most responsible for the disaster.The guy that caused the massive loss of life in the Johnstown flood so he could have a two lane road over his dam.
Nacets are my favorite as well. I haven't seen an artisan come out with a blade so it's interesting to me. Also, one wet shaver bought a 100 pack based off a tuck that he used so I'm optimistic. PAA has their past but I want to judge the product, sorely on how it performs.Great idea. I am pretty good at being unbiased causenof packaging. If they are as sharp and smooth as Nacet they stay.

I bought a 100 pack for $6 in the summer and they are very good blades, very mild feeling but sharp.
Yes, I meant blades from the Shanghai factory are good, using specifically the Gillette-Wilkinson sword as primary examples.. haven't tried any one of those other ones so I cannot personally vouch for them.Hmm, I don't think that's the consenus on the forum. Lot's a positive reviews on blades out of Gillette's Shanghai factory.

The PAA ones, correct?Dudes. This blade is good.
Yes PAA.The PAA ones, correct?
How would you describe the feel?
Thanks.
Time to try the Wizamets that everybody is raving about. They should be the same combination of smooth and sharp. Not to throw out your new blades, but to see what they compare to. I think you had some silver blues, might be time to do a back to back test.Yes PAA.
They are smooth and sharp. Tied with Nacet, but Perhaps better even. I won't say absolutely better till more tests.
Nacets are currently my favorite... this sounds promisingYes PAA.

I've had mixed success with Shanghai Blades. About 2 years ago, I was given a couple to try, Ying JiLi Super Stainless, GFLV, and the Flying Eagle. The Ying JiLi was a very good blade, 5 very good shaves; the GFLV was a bad blade (I muscled thru 2 shaves and regretted it); but, the Flying Eagle broke my heart. It was an amazingly beautiful blade (black with relief etching) that ripped out each hair individually instead of smoothly cutting them (how could something so beautiful be so cruel...my poor whiskers).Hmm, I don't think that's the consenus on the forum.

If the blade name was changed to flying blood eagle it would be appropriate description to the torture endured.but, the Flying Eagle broke my heart.
