This is not my first time writing about blade inconsistencies and I wanted to reach out to see if any of you have noticed this with Gillette Platinum.
I bought a 100 pack in April 2022 with date code on the tuck of 04/04/21 and they have been the best blades I've used ever. I since bought another 100 pack from the same place in Dec 2022 because of a coupon code. They are manufactured 19/09/21.
I took a tuck from the new stash an used 5 in about a month time frame and I was not getting good shaves with my Overlander. From head shaves to face shaves, I was getting tugging, weepers, and irritation burn. Went through all 5 blades - same result. I forgot I used a tuck from the new stash and when I realized it last week, I pulled out the old stash from 04/04/21 and I had the most perfect shave yesterday. I have not changed anything about my routine to cause this - same razor, handle, soap, shower, post shave, etc.
I am not sure if I am imagining it or what - looking for some input.
