Supermax De 200 blades

[johnf7478]

Hiya Guys and hairy girls

Was just perusing the Bay of E there and came across 200 Supermax Super Stainless Blades (With improved design) for the paltry sum of 5.10 euro(+ 3.83 pstge)
Seems like a great price, however, I can't find any sampler packs that contain them or small packs, although a small pack would probably cost 2.50 anyway, so would it be worth the risk?

Anyone got any experience of these blades?

Cheers

Had a supermax super platinum in a sample, cant speak for the stainless but the platinum were ok. At that price its worth a gamble, could always pif them to noobs

Be aware of the fact that there two different packages sold of the Supermax Super Stainless.

One with blue packaging that contains blades that are marked Stainless instead off Super Stainless.

And one with green/yellow packaging which does contain the Super Stainless.

The regular stainless I find not sharp enough. The Super Stainless is quite a bit sharper but I find them also a bit rough although this is also because of poor technique on my part.

I thought that SuperMax Super Stainless were actually marketed and sold under the name "Sunrise." Is this not the case?

I do not know because I am not familiar with the "Sunrise" variant. I bet you are correct though. It seems that Supermax has a tendency to have the actual blades not correspond with what is written on the packaging that they come in.

Yeah. If you open the Sunrise packaging, it says SuperMax SuperStainless on the blade inside.

i would suggest a blade with more longevity like astra sp or derby. supermax only give me one shave.

I prefer it [the green/yellow packaging] over supermax platinum. At that price - grab it.
