Have you tried the Asco blades from Lord? I find them to be very good.I have been sampling a few Lord blades trying to find a replacement for the Astra (now owned by Gillette who are not on my list of vendors).
So far I have had great experiences with Big Ben and Cool but not so much with the Platinum. I find that I can only get 2 or 3 shaves out of the Platinum before it gets dull enough to give me a lot or irritation while the others can go to 5 or 6 shaves.
I have a few more Lord types to try before I make a decision on a 100 pack, but I think the Platinum is not going to make the cut for me ..
Stainless or platinum?Ironically, that is the blade I starting using today and seems to be good. Need to see how long they last but so far so good.
This is true. One thing I have noticed so far, in regards to the Fatip OC razors, is that they really aren't fussy about blades. I can put anyone of my collection of blades in my Retro or FOCS, and they all work, which isn't something I can say about the rest of my razors, except maybe my Progress. I'm seriously getting to the point in my shaving that the Fatips and the Progress are the only razors I use, might have to put everything else up for sale.I have no complaints with Lord Silver Star, Racer Platinum or Super Chrome in Fatip OC razors. Blade reviews from one individual in my experience may not predict how well those blades are going to work for you. Try and see for yourself.
