My Blue Diamond is as smooth as the SM platinum blade. YMMV though.Blue Diamond Platinum are sharp but also coarse. The other ones are smoother.
I recently ordered and received 200 of these. Kind of difficult to obtain since the only sellers I found on eBay are located in India. As far as I know only two sellers have this blade. I paid almost 15 usd for the blades and they came boxed in a nice hard plastic case.Has anyone used these? I don't see many reviews on these especially how they stack against other super max. Sharper than platinum plus in my limited experience of super max range.

The yellow pack is just like the ones I used when I was a teen. Brings back memories. Now there's a green pack that looks similar. I have box of 120 of those green ones. There is (or was)also another type of blue Super Stainless with some grey diagonal stripes with the Vidyut company name on them. Maybe packaged for another market.I just finished up a pack of the "Super-Max Super Stainless" (yellow packaging). These were from a sampler pack I got about 10 years ago and just getting around to using some of the samplers. This was a very nice smooth blade. I got at least a weeks worth of decent shaves from each blade and might be able to extend it past that. I wish I had more.
I recently bought the "Super-Max Super Stainless Blue". Have not tried them yet. I hope they are as good as the Super Stainless that was in the yellow packaging.

Buttery smooth, medium sharpness for me. Good blades. Nothing to complain about.
Strange how everyone else finds the Blue Diamond Platinum smooth but not so sharp. I find them quite the opposite, very aggressive, and my skin can confirm it. I have about 295 of them and I bought too many since I don't use them too often.
There are better blades in their lineup, such as the SuperMax Super Platinum (if you can get ahold of those, I believe they are out of production-now they sell for outrageous prices; I have 17 left and keep them for special occasions) Super Stainless if you like a blade to be like Voskhod and of course the Blue Diamond Titanium.
I find the Diamond Edge and Blue Diamond Titanium to be about the same.
Haven't used Platinum and Platinum plus since I was a teen and don't have any tucks to try but I remember them to be good as well, for what it's worth.
FYI - I found and bought some of these. Thought they were a good price. Just sharing since you said the Supermax Super Platinums were out of production and sold for an outrageous price. Now you can buy a gazillian and be a blade hoarder like me.
Do you know if Supermax Blue Diamond Titanium is still IN production?
