I really, really like both the Nacet and Perma-Sharp blades. I am not sure I can tell them apart. On the other hand, some of the other sharper Gillette blades didn't work as well for me, like the Platinum.
Other thoughts?

Nacet vs. Perma-Sharp

Nacets in my Krona work like a dream in others they feel a bit bitey. Perma-Sharps are a staple and work in nearly every razor for me.
I wouldn’t have placed the Platinums (light blue/dark blue) ahead of Nacets in terms of sharpness but the discontinued Gillette Stainless and the Wizamet.

Parma-Sharp is my go to blade. Works grate in every razor I have used it in. I just got some Nacet blades. They seem to work really well in some razor. They are a little softer. They will not be replacing my Perma-sharp, but they are quite good.
That's weird, the Permasharp were always rather Permadull and very mild for me, but didn't cut as nicely. 
Hmm... I usually shave with a steep angle. My experience was quite different to that of the OP and I am wondering why. But it's shaving, so much YMMV.
Gillette Platinum: There seem to be quite some Platinums, not all are made in St. Petersburg. But I have them in good memory, but didn't use them for a while.

Permasharp are great, one of my favorite, close comfortable shaves. Nacet are also good blades.
I’m talking about the PPI offering for the Turkish market but there are others as well.That's weird, the Permasharp were always rather Permadull and very mild for me, but didn't cut as nicely.

Perma Sharp for the win here. Both are quite sharp but the Nacet just is not as smooth. Get good shaves with both but use the Perma Sharp way more.
Perma-Sharps and Nacets are actually my top two blades. Perma-Sharps are ever so slightly smoother for me. But I have stocked up on both blades. Can’t go wrong with either.
Another vote for Nacets, top-tier blades for me!! 
I've never particularly gotten along well with the Nacets but I may retry them in the future. I really already have a ton of well-behaved Gillettes so I don't absolutely need to find another one. The Perma-Sharps are a favorite of mine, however and lately have been fairly inexpensive of the Big River website so I've loaded up.
** This is not a knock on Nacets. They just have never felt really comfy to me so I don't force this issue. I know lots of people like them.

I'll admit that I've never used a Perma-sharp, but to beat out a Nacet, they would have to be pretty darn good IMO.
Of the blades I've used over the years, only GSBs come close. But then, I haven't used them all. But I've used most of the ones most frequently mentioned as great blades on B&B, and Nacets remain my favorite.

I wasn't as much trying to make this a head-to-head, but instead to see if others find the Nacet and the Perma-Sharp to be very similar.
Perma-sharps are $8.39 on Amazon right now. Nacet works better for me so I will pass but that price is tempting.
Since I recently shaved with a Nacet for seven days I will load up a Perma Sharp when I change my current blade and compare.
This is my feeling as well. Permasharp is one of my all time favourites
For me, Nacet is just slightly smoother.
Otherwise they are same in performance.
Main difference for me is that I can buy Nacet in drugstore.

Feather and Perma-Sharp are my go to blades in the Ti Blackbird.
Found Nacet to be not as smooth, but that was some time ago. Time for a re-test!
