Gillette Super Nacet; Platinum Coated

Travelling at the moment in Malaysia and bought some of these. Not too bad at all. They are not the sharpest blades but not a huge problem, obviously affects the smoothness of the shave. I'd say a great beginners blade, you won't cut yourself with these even if you tried.

One of my favourite blades at the moment.

Price: Very good, I got them in with a sampler, but from what I've found on ebay these aren't going to break the bank, unlike Merkur's (they are also a damn sight better than Merkur's too IMHO).

Quality: Very Good, certainly nothing to really complain about, only reason I knocked a point off was that they had 4 spot of glue on one side on some blades? This just annoys me as it sticks them into my razor.

Sharpness: Very good again, not as sharp as feathers, but certainly not bargain basement blunt, they are just right on the sharpness for me (I find with feathers although I get a lovely shave, my face is red for a couple of hours, unlike these ). So sharpness not always a great indicator of how good they'll be, these certainly do fine for me

Longevity: I only got 3 shaves out of this blade, before I binned it, although I'm sure it could have done another one, but I wouldn't personally risk it for the sake of a few pence...

Smoothness: Again good, perhaps as I have mentioned above not as smooth as some blades, but certainly not a "tuggy", "pully" shave by any means.

Packaging: What more do you need than to get it home and keep it dry, the box and double wrappers do this great

Overall I'd recommend them if you get the chance, I'll also try and get a picture up when I can scan the box.

PS if these are covered elsewhere just delete this bit, I looked but couldn't find this exact type.
