No problem! Glad I could help.
. . . . . I am really curious about the KCG blade.
Thanks, Elvis! I’ll keep this in mind.I have tried a few blades now to see if they are the same as the KCG's.
Nacet: Not nearly as smooth. I prefer the KGC's
Yellow 7 O'Clock: Every bit as smooth, not quite as sharp or as long lasting. I really like these blades.
Gillette Platinum (Blue Box / White Letters): These could be the same as the KCG's. They have the same longevity in terms of number of shaves and at least very similar smoothness and sharpness (so far after six shaves and one follow-up where I took a few strokes with the Platinum and immediately switched to the KGC). I noticed the glue spots are different, with the KGC having four "corner" dots. The fold order on the wrapper is also different, but this could be packaging--I hope Gillette adopts the 4 dot style. I am glad I went ahead and bought 100 of these (at less than $18 delivered from the club). At this price, I would prefer the Blue Box Platinums even if they weren't exactly the same as the KGC's (but so far, I think they are the same).
Still need to try some others from PPI (like the tri-color box Platinums and the Greens). It will takes some time though.

Been using some the Gillette Platinum Light Blue Box blades for the last while (for those in the US - they're available on Amazon.com Prime: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KJNC4B5), and recently have been using the King C Gillette to compare (thanks to member "Mata_66", we arranged a blade trade and he sent a generous packet).
I've found the Gillette Platinum Light Blue to be identical to the King C Gillette blades.
Have recently also (re)tried some of the other blades in question - Gillette Nacet, Gillette Platinum Navy Blue/White Box, Gillette 7 O'Clocks and while they are quite decent blades of varying degrees, I don't find that they match the quality of the King C Gillette/GiIIette Platinum Light Blue Box
I would check Razor Blades Club. $17 for 100 is better than $20 for 50. These don't show up on the front page but they are visible if checking through the menu under DE blades. You can get blades 1 blade or 1 tuck at a time too if you feel like testing more.
Any time! You will see when they arrive, they are essentially two of the 10x5 boxes shown in post #3. Please share your thoughts on how they compare.Thanks for the reviews and link on the Platinum's. Just picked up the 100 count.
I tried the KCG blades recently and liked them. Price of blades alone is way steep. Too rich for my blood.
I just saw these at Walmart and was curious, so I'll take a look at them. They are cheaper than the Wilkinson Swords, which are way overpriced but one of my favourites. I have tried pretty much all of the Gillette blades and was hoping that this might be the return of the spoilers. I still have about 10 spoilers so I'll put those to the test and see how they compare to the new KCG blades.
That's true, I have over 1200 blades right now lol. I think I should run through my supply a bit.If purchased at local stores both King Gillette blades and Wilkeison Sword blades are expensive (about 60 cents per blade). However, you can purchase 100 Wilkinson Sword blades online for a little over 20 cents per blade. However, there are lots of excellent blades that can be purchased in bulk for even less per blade.
