I have tough pricky whiskers, i would say they are far from nacets. Closest would be a second shave feather, but the nacet definitely rates higher on the smoothness scale.
Gillette Super Nacet ?

I wonder how many alligators you can slice in half with a Super Nacet before they become dull?

On a serious note , I’ve never seen the Supers before. I’ll have to get some.

I was in Malaysia last year and found these in a super market called Mydin. Also saw them in Singapore.
They're probably my favorite blade. Really smooth and really sharp. As good or better than a regular nacet imo. They're my go to blade right now and pair great with my Techs. I bought 150 back with me which given i'm a twice or tri weekly shaver should last a while but i feel like i should have bought more just in case...
Can't find them on the site but this is the company Mydin Home | MYDIN ONLINE
More options > Shopee
Another stand out blade i found on that trip was the Gillette Super Thin from Thailand. Possibly not quite as smooth as the super nacet but still excellent to me.

I also saw these in a Mydin in Malaysia last year, but they were very expensive - over £20 for a hundred. I picked up a single tuck for a little over a pound from smaller supermarket but haven't cracked it open yet (in the same Mydin I picked up 100 Treet Platinum for ~£4, and I've mostly been using those).
I forget how much i paid but i don't remember them being cheap. How are the Treets? I wandered around both Little india in Singapore and Brickfields in KL stopping in at the little Indian run supermakets looking for blades to try. Found lots of oddities but haven't been game to start testing as i've been enjoying having reliably nice shaves too much.
For the price the Treets are fantastic - I was already a fan. I also bought 100 Supermax Platinums for ~£2 which I now regret, even at that price. Like yourself I also picked up some odd tucks of mainly Chinese-made blades I've never heard of (Alshabab, Wetell) which I haven't quite worked up the courage to try.
They aren't cheap here.
I got mine near kovan mrt for $2 for a pack of 6. To pay sgd$20 (about usd$14.8) for 60 blades is ridiculous when I can get 100 stainless nacets for Usd $13 or $20.5 for 100 feathers.
Wonder what makes them more expensive than Stainless nacets? Could be market location etc, given they don't seem to be available from the cheaper resellers on ebay. How could we get them out into the world?
The issue with stuff here in South East Asia is the size of the market. There isn't enough a demand and because there are so many countries with high import tax it really drives up the prices.
Just to give you an idea why I'll never buy stuff here.
25 Stainless Nacets
Insane prices.
Super Nacets as indicated by the packaging are imported by P&G from China and I strongly suspect that if it is manufactured in China, you can find rebranded super nacets from Weishi or Baili.

Yuk, that's terrible, as bad as brick and mortar shops here in NZ charging $10 a tuck for something like Wilkinson Swords.
Just had a look and mine say made in China. Might be worth investigating _b
If they're imported by P&G are they made by P&G or are they a different blade altogether? Stainless nacets are made in Russia no?

Super nacets aren't stainless at least as far as I know and the packaging says it's made in china so it could be a Gillette blade factory in china.
Yes, they're platinum. Is there a Gillette factory in China?
Yes there is:
Chinese Gillette blades
Chinese Gillette blades
That threads' from 2011. They've been around a while then huh.
Interesting the Thai Super Thins are also mentioned a lot in this thread. I found them around the same time and really enjoy them as well.
I got 2 tucks of Super Nacet to try...theyre about 60-70% costlier than the regular Nacets from St Petersburg.
The regular ones are incredibly smooth and well behaved so these will have to be at least twice as good for me to
get more.

love my St Pete's Nacets, had never seen the modern variants until stumbling upon this thread.
Are you in Asia? I have never seen this one for sale on the Internet.
They are excellent blades, some of the sharpest and smoothest I've tried but at $1.50 for 6 blades it's way more expensive than Nacet SS 50¢ for 5.
If they were just 10%-20% more I'll seriously consider getting more of them.
For 60-70% more it's getting into polesilver, persona and rubies prices.
The one razor that interests me a bunch is the BIC Chrome Platinum
It seems very sharp yet affordable.
Cheers
