Razor Blade Acquisition Thread
- Thread starter Abz88
- Start date
I bought from France another Gillette '500'. I have 9 so far, but it was quite the deal with a dispenser of 10 Silver Platine and another of Bleue Extra 10+2. So basically only those blades are worth it. However the seller added 2 more 10+2 Bleue Extra dispensers. Could be all those 3 dispensers are completely different. One for sure is from the P&G times (post-2005). Andhat M code might be Argentinean or Annecy made. Depends on the quarter.
My most recent acquisition.
Those blades carbon steel?
Yeah they're lacquered carbon steel blades.
They used to be very cheap. Gave me serious irritation. The Crown Platinum was even cheaper and I like it very much.
Most recent shipment.
Just for laughs I will post it here. A single left pack of 5pcs Minora Stainless in a small shop in the neighbour town.
Gents, what happened here? Everybody is buying Treet 7 days. Are they better than Spoilers?
@Sweeney_ this is your deed, right? That lady in the Treet 7 Days thread packaging the blades is probably your wife.
Yeah, laugh it up! You posted that thread on the 13th of August, and on the 15th I ordered from the RBC 4 Treet models, 1 blade each. One of them is the super hyped 7 Days. If it doesn't shave at least as good as a vintage Gillette Platinum-Plus I will hold you accountable. Spent bloody 0.19 EUR on it.Gents, what happened here? Everybody is buying Treet 7 days.

I'm not the only one proclaiming the gospel of Treet. @malocchio had a good review of the 7 Days back in 2015. I'm a Johnny-come-lately but they do appear to finally be gaining in popularity.
Many years ago, probably around 2007-2008 I read on another forum and then here that Treet Platinum is their best. Bought a 100 pillar. Terrible with my whiskers. During each shave it will skip 3-4 times unexpectedly and give me a cut.
Many years have passed since I gathered the courage to buy 1 Trig Silver blade. Yes it is good, and I can recommend it to you to try (if you haven't tried it).

I hope they'll be sharp enough for your beard Ivan. Keep in mind, I love Minora Stainless so I'm really not to be trusted.
Speaking of other forums, one of the best reviews and rundown on the Treet blades was on another forum, titled ...a Treet for your face? Actually written by a member here who had previously amazed me with a 100% accuracy rate in blind blade testing. At least I think it was the same bloke. He also did two more evaluations in that forum called "House of Lords" and Six weeks in SuperMax". Great write-ups if you google them but you probably already ran across them I imagine.
Thanks, I'll have to give the Trig Silver a try.
They will be tried in Ming Shi 2000s @6, so no excuses.I hope they'll be sharp enough for your beard Ivan. Keep in mind, I love Minora Stainless so I'm really not to be trusted.

What's wrong with the Minora Stainlees? It is a very good blade for super tough beards.
Nothing at all, Minora SS are great blades for me but I wasn't sure if they were sharp enough for you. There is hope... if you enjoy Minora, you'll probably like the 7 Days.
I like many very very mild models. Rapira Platinum Lux, Lord Classic, Lord Super, Lord Cool, Super-Max Blue Diamond Titanium, Crown Platinum. Sometimes use even the borderline dull German Wilkinsons. I just need to use them in very aggressive razors. All above mentioned are used in the Progress @5.
