I read somewhere (can't remember where) that Gillette GSBs and Platinum are the same, is this true.
They may be the same blade, but I still prefer Gillette Platinum to GSB.Although some say these blades differ, I find these blades to be very similar if not identical in both sharpness and smoothness. If I put these two blades into identical razors and shave opposite sides of my face with each of the razors, I cannot tell which blade is which. With most other blades, I can tell a difference.
Two other blades I find to be quite similar in sharpness and smoothness are Gillette Rubie Platinum Plus and Astra Superior Platinum. I cannot tell the difference between them either. Although some folks love these blades, I prefer sharper, smoother blades.
They may be the same blade, but I still prefer Gillette Platinum to GSB.
I've used the Gillette SP's from Brazil (haven't had the opportunity to try the Russian SP's), and those were AMAZING blades in terms of sharpness, smooth, and longevity. For me, GSB's are a top-3 blade regular rotation blade, but don't rival the Brazil SP's.There's scuttlebutt from time to time that the GSBs might be the discontinued Super-Platinum blue packs that used to be made in the Russian plant. I have fond memories of the old Super-Platinums, and after using a GSB for the first time recently it does bring the same feel to mind in my memory.
That said I don't think the current Platinums and the GSB are the same.
No, they are not.

Give it a rest.
Were they in a red paper?I've used the Gillette SP's from Brazil (haven't had the opportunity to try the Russian SP's), and those were AMAZING blades in terms of sharpness, smooth, and longevity. For me, GSB's are a top-3 blade regular rotation blade, but don't rival the Brazil SP's.
The Gillette SP's are in a silver gray box wrapped in white paper. I love that blades could be made nearly anywhere, but am sorry to see the Brazil made blades disappearing.Were they in a red paper?
I do like the SuperThin Mejoradas made in Brazil....as good as Nacet
