You still have a safety bar or comb between you and the blade. If you use a design that is not prone to bite your face why not use it on your dome? Techs, the FOCS and the RR Eco work very well for me.I’ll have to say, I admire all who are doing a head shave with a DE razor. I can’t imagine it. Well, actually I can, but it is in the same category as picturing myself using a Straight Razor on my face . 🫣 My hat is off to you!
@hopper_64 - I am learning about new blades and especially changing in their production. Bolzano’s come to mind and Personna’s as well. The one you used today, is that the Israeli Red or the German Red? And would you mind sharing your experiences with this blade?Tuesday August 2nd - Still in

You’re welcome and looking forward to your findings.
I just learned that there are two versions of the Nacet! I would have never known. Nor would I have noticed to be honest. But then those platinum blades sound pretty rare judging by the packaging.It turned out I had ordered Nacet Stainless, so there's no way they can be the elusive KCG, which is Platinum. Oops! Never mind, it's a new blade to test drive.
Purple pack Nacet Stainless is the only version that is current production afaik.I just learned that there are two versions of the Nacet! I would have never known. Nor would I have noticed to be honest. But then those platinum blades sound pretty taste judging by the packaging.
Glad you still enjoyed them. I have Dorco blades that should be platinum but the blade itself simply says stainless. I have no way to tell if it is or not. Shaves good though.
Cheers,
Guido
Unconfirmed because I never saw a Nacet Platinum myself but I read somewhere that Nacet Platinum were rebranded Gillette 7 O'clock Super Platinum (Black).It turned out I had ordered Nacet Stainless, so there's no way they can be the elusive KCG, which is Platinum.

I'll transfer this blade to the .84 GC, and see what its lifespan is like.
Thanks for the additional info, Alec - really helpful . Those are from India right? The black ones?Unconfirmed because I never saw a Nacet Platinum myself but I read somewhere that Nacet Platinum were rebranded Gillette 7 O'clock Super Platinum (Black).
These 7 O'clock Super Platinum blades are very good performers and suits well with a lot of razors.
Even if Nacet Platinum were not rebranded Gillette 7 O'clock Super Platinum, I'll definitely recommend the Gillette 7 O'clock Super Platinum a try at least.
Let me know if you haven't already tried it yet, I'll send you a sampler.
Yes, the Gillette 7 O'clock Super Platinum are the premium blades manufactured in India.Thanks for the additional info, Alec - really helpful . Those are from India right? The black ones?
