Gillete 7 o' clock Diamond?

[Gunky]

Found these in an Bangladeshi store 89 cents for 2 blades

Any info?

I have only heard of such a blade. Funny, I didn't think they used the old gillette logo anymore.

Also note the funnyness between the C&L and the C&K. The other 7 o clocks are not printed like that.

knockoffs?

knockoffs?

I doubt it. Here I found an old version:

oh man, I'd definitely like to find and try these!
the other blade with "diamond" in the name that I've tried - Schick Diamond FX cartridges - were absolutely great

I doubt it. Here I found an old version:

This used to be the Indian version. There was a time when MNCs could venture in to India only using a 51% local Indian partner. This lead to a flurry of surrogate Indian companies coming up. For India it was Ejtek and Diamond was a brand long long back before Gillette officially opened shop and now is under its own branding. They seem to have taken this technique to the neighbor Bangladesh and I guess these would be the same - either the Green permasharp or the black super platinum rechristened to Diamond...

 

[Gunky]

so these are in the same boat as green permasharp 7oclocks or super platinums?

The Schick FX Diamond blades use diamond dust in the blade coating. It does seem to make the blades last a long time.

I might be wrong, but I don't think the Gillettes use any diamonds except in the name.

In Bangladesh ????
