The ones on your photo are the light blue Platinums (the newer product). The ones in post #115 are the dark blue Platinums.
Yes. And they are supposedly very different blades.

As do the KCGs in my opinion.Yes. They shave differently.
Post #19As do the KCGs in my opinion.
Remember titan Gate "it's safe". Sadly most of the time you can take what these people say with the pinch of salt.After several weeks of Procter & Gamble customer service looking into it for me, I can finally confirm/bust a myth of something which has been something of a discussion point on a specific item of shaving hardware - King C Gillette blades, re: are they/aren't they just rebranded Platinums? Answer? NO
This has been floating around for a while with some people thinking they feel the same, and some adamant they don't or that they have different longevity. I know the RazorEmporium video on the KCG he said his 'contact' told him that they were just rebranded Platinums, but it seems maybe the contact was incorrect.

I think you hit it on the head.I'm older and have lost some sensory facial nerves over the decades. I get low effort BBS shaves with platinum, GSB, King Cs, and Nacet blades. I do get less resistance from GSB, Nacets, and King C than I do from either of the plats. So, in my opinion, they are a little different, but that difference disappears after the first or second shave. Could that be the amount and type of coating?
I am very happy to use any of the above on any given day.
I think that's the razor talking, not the blade.I agree with the title, they are similar ime, but the KCGs are decidedly sharper than Platinum Light Blue and in a DE89 smoother, not so much in a 3one6 though, or at least not that I could really be certain, maybe a hair smoother. They seem to last at least several more shaves as well.
I need to buy some of these.

Perhaps, just stating my experience, in both razors the KCG is noticably sharper to me, to the point where I don't enjoy it in a 3one6 and the PLB isn't as efficient in the DE89, but obviously ymmv etcI think that's the razor talking, not the blade.
Happy to be of assistance and enabling!I need to buy some of these. Thanks for the input my friend!
My friend, it is obvious that you are not entirely a noob at enabling!Happy to be of assistance and enabling!
