Gillette Platinum made in China hits EU market

[Rivers23]

So I found today in my local supermarket in EU that Gillette Platinum is now made in China.
The price is 2.25 Euros, which is a bit expensive imo.

Still haven't tried them, will tomorrow. The packaging is the same as Russian ones.

Kinda old news.
First reports of them spotted were in early November. I managed to find and buy the Chinese ones on the 25th of December.

Let us know how you find the shave. I have some on their way too, will be posting impressions once I've had a go.

I am done with Gillette Platinum. The Chinese production has been inferior right from the start, but recently I am finding it increasingly rough and scratching. Went back to the forgotten German Wilkinson Sword, which I had used now and then, and the results are even better than with Russian GP. With a single WTG pass (I started single-pass shaves recently), I get the same close shave as with Gillette Fusion Proglide - really, no difference.

Rough and scratching for me, too.

I mistakenly thought they were Russian because of the packaging and bought 50 from Amazon. They are not as good as the Russian Platinums. They are OK for 3 shaves for me. Definitely would not buy again.

Which country is that? Here in Romania their price is the equivalent of 70 eurocents per tuck in the supermarket.
