I think those are the ones with red or burgundy coloured packaging. I preferred them to the Nacet Stainless but I don't really like the Nacet Stainless. They seem to me identical to the Russian Super Stainless, which just don't agree with me.Anyone tried the asian or thai nacet? How does it compare to the russian one?
I love the KCG. That and Wizamet SI are my top two right now. (But I won't buy more KCGs at $.50/blade.)While I wouldn’t say it’s better than a Nacet, I’ve been impressed with the King C Gillette blade.
As much as I love Nacets, the beatific vision is probably better. Scratch that, definitely better.For those that love the Gillette Nacet - have you found anything even better than this?

If you can find Nacet Platinum (no longer made), snap them up.
Possibly the same blade. I think the ones I had were for the Siamese market but they will surely have been made in China.More Info
Gillette Super Nacet From China
Anyone tried these China made Super Nacet blades before? Easily available in Malaysia and pretty cheap as well. Would love to hear your thoughts. I haven't use these for a long time. I remember them being pretty aggressive. But I was still new to wet shaving and along with bad technique, I was...www.badgerandblade.com

I did the same thing though with a razor. My first DE was very mild, and I went and bought a Muhle R41. I put that down after one shave and picked it up 5 years later!I tried a Nacet not too long after I started wet shaving and it chewed my face up something awful. Nicks, weepers, irritation, and even some ingrown hairs for good measure. All in all it was an unpleasant experience.
"Too sharp" I said and banished it to the Ziplock Bag of Crappy Blades.
Four months later I tried one again and it gave me three great shaves with no irritation.
Nacet is a great blade but can be dangerous in the hands of a beginner.
It's interesting that I place them exactly the opposite.Nacet's are good. GSB's are great
I am relatively DE shaving so perhaps they are a bit too sharp, and I can't seem to go as fast. However, with the GSB, the shave-to-shave consistency in terms of sharpness seems to be a bit smoother and predictable. With the Nacet, it seems to drop dramatically after 2. Does this happen to others?It's interesting that I place them exactly the opposite.
Have had three (3) DFS with GSB; first time I've tried these. Only other blades I've tried so far are Astra SP which are good for me. Nacets are on the way and I have two (2) each of 18 other blades to try. No hurry as I am thoroughly enjoying the trip.Nacet's are good. GSB's are great
I have had some weird experiences with the Astra SP recently, saw a couple people mention that something with production changed, and the price dropped. Definitely doesn't seem like the blade it used to be. Anyone else has this experience?Have had three (3) DFS with GSB; first time I've tried these.

I got some laser printed Astra SP blades that came with a razor and put one (1) in a Henson AL13 mild and the experience was not good. I had two (2) Astra ink printed blades (they have the 1/2 & 3/4 on each side) from a sampler pack and they were much better. Not sure of the difference but I am still a fan of Astra. I need to get on with trying all of these other blades I have.I have had some weird experiences with the Astra SP recently, saw a couple people mention that something with production changed, and the price dropped.

I have more limited experience with blades. I've done a few sampler packs. Part of the problem is that my technique can be a bit wobbly. Anyway, point is, I've heard a lot about Nacet and I picked a sampler pack that has them (it hasn't been ordered yet, trying to make my mind up on what soaps I want). I've used Feathers a lot, but not as my main go to, because they can be a bit harsh if I'm not extra careful, so save them for slow leisurely shaves, not 'run to get out the door'. I was wondering if you could just mention a comparison of the shave between the two? I've found Feathers don't last long, so glad to know it isn't just me.Nacet is a phenomenal blade! Nacet & Feather are my #1 blades. Nacet lasts 7 - 9 shaves, Feather lasts 2 shaves.
