okay, you guys talked me into it, just ordered some Nacets
Gillette Nacet blades, are they really that good?

platinum or stainless are we talking about here. I am a Russian Gillette liker. GSB and 7O'Clock Green are my go to blades. Which Nacet is better?
I don't know about the platinum's, but the stainless versions work great for me.
Stainless here as well, the more commonly available in most places.
I am still new to saftey razors. Buy yesterday I used the nacet with my double combed DOC from Phoenix Artisan. The shave was amazing. Not a nick on my neck. This was part of a sample pack and I have this on my list.
Not that I need any more blades, but my resistance has crumbled and I have a modest 50 Nacets on the way.
It's weird
I have had a tuck of 5 for something like 6 months now. I have tried at least one of every other sample I got at the same time.
I have sort of put them aside as a holy grail thinking they must be the best blade but I'm not good enough at shaving yet to try them out.
I will get there eventually.

Personally love Nacets, to me, sharp as Feathers and a lot smoother also last 6-7 days of 3 pass shaving. I have 300.
I think you may like them. They have a nice combination of smooth and sharp for most people.
Judging from my first shave just now, you could well be right! A lovely smooth/sharp combination, and it coped very well when I put it through its paces ATG. If it lasts for five shaves, which is my target for a blade, it will become a regular.
It likely well last for a minimum of 5, as this seems to be true for a lot of Nacet users. Good luck!
I got 6 good shaves. 7th was the kicker. YIKES!
I've pushed 'em to 3 weeks, complete comfort up to 2, but I swap every weekend anyway.
Oops Make that 7 good shaves.
Favorite Blade...
And just to round it off: my first Nacet blade did indeed last for five comfortable, smooth, irritation-free shaves. It felt as if it might have another shave or two in it, but I never push my blades beyond five shaves, so I'm happy. It's as good as the other blades I have in my regular rotation (Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellows; Astra SP; Polsilver SI; Personna Red), so the Nacet will join them as a regular.
I just tried them and did 7 nice shaves with one blade, to me they are in the same league of feathers (my favourite until now) but definitely less expensive. While I don't like voshkod, I was able to get only 3 shaves with them
