I don't know where this one comes from, but it is available in the Brazilian market. Any info on this? I haven't found anything online about it.

This Brazilian listing says they're from China, which support's Malocchio's info. Where did you come across this info, Malocchio?

Also, strange that they're marked both Platinum and Super Stainless Steel as usually Gillette makes both a Platinum and a Stainless version of a given blade.

Razorbladesclub has the Gillette Super Thin listed as Thailand but it's made in China, just distributed in Thailand

Interesting. So Thailand drops from the list since that’s the only one.

I was lucky enough ,maybe 12-14 years ago , to find a fellow shaver in Brazil who agreed to trade with me . Shipping then was a lot cheaper .. I received several brands of Brazilian blades , Supa-Barba , Master Barba , at that time made in Turkey , and Lamix , made in Germany, and another blade I can't recall at this moment . The German Lamix were terrible. They later switched to Turkish Derby manufacturing . All the Brazilian blades you see on this site are now manufactured in Communist China except one new blade . "OK " which is a rebranded Egyptian LORD blade. I'd like to try the " OK " blade for comparison .... You can see the manufacturers listed here , at Brazils largest distributer or blades, sadly they won't ship: Lâmina - Rei Da Cutelaria - https://www.reidacutelaria.com.br/beleza-pessoal/barbearia/lamina

"OK" is not a Lord rebrand. It is a new LORD brand that was started 1-2 years ago. It is officially on the Lord site.

The funniest thing. I saw those pics last month, but now I see the back of those Super Thins says "Do not expose to temperatures above 48°C". First time I am seeing anything like that!
