The Last Rodeo for Polsilver Super Iridium Blades
The Last Rodeo for Polsilver Super Iridium Blades
Lotta ifs and maybes there. Nope. Polsilver is not the MDC of blades. Sucker born every minute. Been a good run for the distributors.If you can maximize the number of shaves vs. a cheaper blade then they may not be that expensive. More expensive per blade, yes, but on a per shave comparison maybe they are closer in cost than the price per blade. Some expensive soaps and creams are no more expensive per shave than less expensive soaps and creams if the expensive tub yields more shaves.
When I first said this I should have added that Polsilvers are one of my 2 favorite blades (along with Gillette Platinums). So while I wouldn’t have been a buyer at the price, it’s not out of a comparison to what a 50 or 100-pack of a different blade would cost, because as others have said value is relative with any number of shaving products. It’s just more of a price than I personally would have paid, especially since shipping would have been on top of that.Looks like they’re sold out, although I wouldn’t have been a buyer at $28 for a 50-pack...
I read this thread yesterday and by some miracle chance someone in Bulgaria is selling 141 packs of Pol Silver. Are they something unique? Were they the best at some point?

Polsilver blades are good blades, but are they worth $28/50 blades when other can be had for $10 per 100? I have a few of them, but they are not my favorite blades. Thus, I am not taking the bait.
... from Wizashave (in Morocco).nope because you can get 250 for $45, sometime less on the bay.

TMK, yes Jim.Are those blades the same as Polsilver?
TMK, yes Jim.
There are many Wizamet threads, but the Wizamet Super Iridium, real or not? thread seems to be the most comprehensive one (with recent information).
Due to that thread I purchased a 250 blade box of them.
