Gillette Platinums.changed?

[steelwind101]

Hello Guys!

Just got handful of new Gillette Platinums, which have been my "to go" blades for a few years now.

Uh-oh! They have new markings on, even seem a bit bigger then they used to? Better quality wrappers on the blades as well.

Ouch these things tug, pull and just dont cut properly its like Merkur!

My products Proraso Pre (sensative) -> Proraso White (new formula).

I was a fan of the non Platinums that went a bit "hard to get" but now seem to be in high avalibilty but are "improved".

Anyone else found these newer Platinums a bit dull?

Thanks
Geoff

The middle image of the package is the original, its darker and there is more shadow.

The top blade in the opened photos is the original, darker poor quality text....yet sharper!

I have been getting some bad shaves with Gillette Platinums lately as well. I thought it was just me. Hmm.
