Gillette Nacet in Arabic?

[Hak.1963]

I was in a big flea market today and found some fun things.
Among other things, I found these razorblades, Bic Astor and Gillette Nacet.
Now I wonder if you have any knowledge about Gillette having manufactured blades in any Arab country or if they made blades for the Arab market because all the text on the package is in Arabic.
Then the question is whether this is genuine Gillette Nacet or copies?
Anyway, I only paid 2 Euro for the 10 Gillette blades, and 1 Euro for the 5 Bic blades.

Genuine....made in Russia for export to Jordan , a very good blade.

I get my Nacets from a Jordanian guy, same packaging. It's all good. They have thick beards in that part of the world, so Gillette ships its sharpest blades there (or so the theory goes).

Thanks guys

I will go back tomorrow and buy some more

All my Nacet blades came from Jordan.

When I look att razorbladeclub's website it says Gillette Nacet is made in Russia

Nacets are top-tier for me also!

Great blades that are made in Russia!

I will try a Nacet tonight. If they are as good as ppl say they are I'm gonna buy me some more.

Nacet blades are made in Russia but seem to be primarily marketed for Jordan. Quite a few Jordanian eBayers selling them.

As long as your at it, try a PermaSharp Super one of these days. Very similar to Nacet as far as smoothness and face feel, but noticeably sharper, nearly as sharp as a Feather. The PSS doesn't get as much love here as Nacet, but it should. It's also a Gillette Russian blade, like Nacet. That all said, it doesn't cut crocodiles in half.

PermaSharp Super is my top blade! I also like Polsilver and Nacets.

Add in SharpEdge (7 O'Clock Yellow) and there's my top 4 right there.

 

[FloridaCreekIndian]

I actually like the SharpEdge Yellows too! LOL

 

[johnwick]

Sharp edge yellows are terrific blades! As are Nacet for my face.

And the Rubie tops even these gems IMO.

One of the vendors at this giant fleamarket also sold Permasharp blades.
7 Euros for a pack of 100 blades.
I will go back today because one of the older sellers would bring a complete travel kit with razor, brush, soap and mirror that I can buy for 5 Euros.
Maybe I will buy a pack of Permasharp as well?

I tested a Nacet last night and was pleasantly surprised.
The blade felt very sharp but still smooth.
I put it in my Ming Shi 2000s on level 4 and needed just two passes and a little clean up to get a really nice BBS.
Will test the blade in my R41 during the week and see if it works equally well with that razor.

That's a great price for PermaSharps. For that kind of low cost, why not? If you liked the Nacet, you're probably going to like the PermaSharp. They're not all that different. I find it a little easier to cut or nick myself with the Nacet, but the overall results are very similar.

are any of you seeing huge glue spots on your Jordanian Nacets?
