Current production blades similar to Polsilver

[NorthernBoy]

I'm currently on my last Polsilver blade and really enjoying how it shaves, so as the title states, what current production blades are close or similar in performance to them?

Thanks in advance.

I hear the Wizamet Iridium Super from Russia is pretty similar. So is the Personna Lab Blue.

Many, if not most, who have tried the Wizamets think they are the same blade as the Polsilvers in different packaging. That is my opinion as well.

+1 on this, exactly.

Another +1 to this.

Yeah the Wizamet and Polsilver blades feel similar. Polsilver blades are made in Poland and Wizamet is made in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Nope. In modern history, both were made by the same PPI factory in St Petersburg.

Since around 2008 they started making Polsilver Super Iridium in Russia for us in Eastern Europe where the Polsilver brand was very well known and the only good thing in the 70s-80s. Prior to that the last Polsilver Super Iridiums were made in Poland in the 90s. If I ask anyone from my father's generation if he knows of Iridium blades he will most probably say no. But if I ask if they know Polsilver the answer will be yes.

The microscope tells the tale.

The Eye Test. The Old Timer (Polsilver SI) VS The Young Whippersnapper (Wizamet SI)

Once again I am ditching the poll here. There is a lot of interest in both blades. After the Personna Israeli Red blades, I have more experience with these blades than any other. In fact I would say that I use one of these blades every other week. I used to maintain that these were the exact...

Although they might feel similar, they are clearly not the same blade.

+1! I believe the Wizamets were from Poland while the Polsilvers are Russian, but my memory may be incorrect. In any event both are excellent IME!!
