Supermax super platinum

I don't think the Super Platinums are manufactured anymore.
I've used earlier versions of their blades (the Super-Max SP's and the Blue Diamond Platinums) and they were very good blades. Of the Indian manufactured blades, these are among my favorite.
Are these the Vidyut Super Max Platinums? If they are, they are excellent blades.
do you have the link ?
Ah supermax. I've tried the platinum, platinum plus and vidyut stainless. Didn't like them at all. They're neither smooth nor sharp enough and they tugged a lot. The only acceptable one from the three I've tried is the plus version.
And what razor did you use them with?
All three are good to excellent for me. The Platinum is good, not exactly the smoothest blade, but still good. The Platinum plus is very smooth, and the Super-Max Vidyut Stainless is also very smooth, one of the smoothest blades I have tried. Have 400 of them. And I have black whiskers like barbwire. You just have to use these 3 Super-Max blades in very aggressive razors. Otherwise they will tug, indeed.
look at razorbladesclub
Supermax is a confusing brand. They have different package styling for different distribution areas and they seem to change blade names every couple years. "We the consumer" don't really know if the blades are actually different.
Barbers use Blue Diamond Platinum blades for sharpness, this blade is currently being made.
Blue Diamond Platinum is pretty harsh the first few shaves and also very sharp. Blue Diamond Titanium is out of production but still readily available from various auction sites; much smoother than the Platinum version. There's also SuperMax Diamond Edge, which only a few Indian sellers have; smooth but duller than the other two.
When I got the first hundred pack of blades a few years ago I chose Blue Diamond Platinum which were new at the time but had the chance to get Super Platinum. Not knowing they were out of production I passed. If you can find the Super platinums cheap get'em. As good if not better than Blue Diamond Titanium. The few individuals that still have them for sale now ask outrageous prices. Kind of what's happening with Polsilver right now.

Connaught has the SuperMax Blue Diamond Titanium at an attractive price.
I use the SuperMax BD Platinum and do not find them harsh, though not as smooth as my Rapira Platinum Lux.

That's where I got mine. 200 for 15$. One of the better deals I found out there for blades.
So is personna, lord and gillette.
The Super Max Blue Diamond Titanium blades are favorite of mine. I picked up 300 from Connaught.
