More Gillettes here. Azul from Brasil. Bleue Extra from France (Made in Russia, same things as Silver Blues I'm sure). Gillette Stainless and the more common 7 O'clock (these being the best of them, from the Czech). And some vintage UK Gillettes (not meaning to get off topic).

I'm not sure how new these blades are. I've seen the older Goal blades before but not these Goal Super Platinum.

And any info on "same blade, different packaging" would be helpful. For example: Gillette 7oc Blue wrapper and 7oc Black wrapper.....both say "Super Platinum"...same blade?
and 7oc Green wrapper....one is Permasharp Stainless....one is Super Stainless......same blade?

The Blue and Black 7O'clocks are Gillette Super Platinums, and the difference is that they are made in different factories in different countries. The Blacks are from Gillette of India, vs the Blue Super Platinums which are made in St. Petersburg, Russia. Same with the 7O'clock Greens --India vs St.. Petersburg. There might be minute differences, but realistically they are equivalent products. All of the 7O'clock offerings are excellent.
