Shark Differences

They're roughly equal, though I tend to like the SS version just a little bit better than the SC.
I see very little difference with a slight preference for the Chromium.
I've wondered the same thing, I've got a few of both. my notes say I really liked the Chrome. the stainless were good, too.
If bestshave dude carried the chrome i'd order a bunch right now. still may order some stainlesses.

Some people report that Shark Stainless are a little sharper and Shark Chromes are a little smoother. I have only tried the Shark SS myself.
+1
This. My preference due to perceived smoothness. YMMV

I think the SS blades are more forgiving. I have used lots of both. The SS is my primary blade. I, too, just picked up 300 off eBay for about $27 shipped. It took longer than predicted, but the guy was great to deal with.
I use the chromes and have enjoyed every shave.
I have only used the chromes. Tried them immediately after a feather. Chromes were not quite as sharp (close though) but more forgiving. I am still working through my samplers, but I think the chromes are going to be my go 2 blade for the EJ89. Had my second shave with a perma-sharp super last night. Jurry is still out.
I love the Super Chrome. The Super Stainless is hit or miss for me, and life is too short to put up with iffy blades.
I really enjoy 'Shaving with the Sharks'!!!
Although I have used Shark SS blades (and after trying many different blades over many, many years), Shark Super Chrome's are perfect for me with no pulling or tugging, very, very smooth, [smoother than the SS blades...albeit a 'weeper' now & then..but zero 'nicks'], very little to no irratation and no touch of razor burn that %99.9 of nthe time results in CCS's in 2 passes (WTG & ATG), with 6 great shaves per week (Saturdays are my shaving 'day off'),...and are very compatible with both of my Merkur 23C & 38C razors.
Enclosed below are Shark razor blade Reveiws.

"A razor [blade] can't be sharpened on a piece of velvet." Author Unknown They are both really good IMHO, though I slightly prefer the SS. Very little difference between the two if any. One of them could just be new packing.
Only tried the SC and I like them. Sharper than the Dorco ST301's I usually use although the first shave is a little uncomfortable.
So close as to be meaningless for me.
I'd been comped a pack of SS and really liked them. Then I found a good price on a carton of SC and took the chance. SCORE!
A bit later I found a great deal on 3 cartons of SS. I am set up happily for some little while ...

Tried the SC a few times but I have yet to get on with them, just tried the SS and for me I can't believe the difference - I think the SS has just become my go to blade over 7 o'clock yellows.
