Platinum Lux beats Astra Sp in smoothness and sharpness and beats
Them by a sizable margin. And that's
My experience after using both blades
In numerous razors over the years.
I totally agree with Weekly.
I personally think Rapira Platinum Lux compares closer to the Astra SS. Astra SP doesn't seem as sharp or as smooth as the RPL or Astra SS to me. Also both these blades are great out of the wrapper.
Astra SP was my favorite blade when I 1st started. I also still have plenty of Astra SP blades left, which is still in my top 5/tier of blades. However the Astra SS and RPL blades are my top 2 blades at the moment.
