For the last two mornings, I've used a Treet Platinum blade in my NEW, and found it to be on a par with the Red Pack IP I used before that for comfort and closeness. Anybody else use these blades on a regular basis? Are they consistent? Would it be worth my time to hunt up some more?
Treet blades, anyone?

I'm about done with a 10-pack of the Treet Durasharps that I got from a local Indian market, and in my experience, they've been consistently sharp & smooth (I've gone through 7, and have a couple more packs stashed away). They're not Feather-sharp, but in the next tier, IMO. I don't recall what they cost - maybe 2 or 3 bucks for the pack - but considering I got them from a local B&M, they're not a bad choice AND there's no glue/wax dots on them!
Yes, I use these blades and consider them on par with Shark blades, if not better. In fact, I liked these blades so much, I've ordered several hundred of them and use them regularly.

I used to use the Treet Platinum blade all the time, until I got hit hard by the SE bug and have now moved completely away from DE razors. I found them smooth and sharp, and would get four good shaves but then the fifth would be TERRIBLE.
I'd also rate them very similar to Shark (Super Chrome.) They definitely are decent blades.
just had my first shave with a Treet in a 34C. very impressive! ultra smooth and zero razor burn. was kind to my neck too. I'll definitely use these again.
Treet make a lot of blades, including the generally awful Blue Specials. However, the Treet Platinum Specials treated me pretty well. I still prefer upper-end blades (Feathers, Yellow Gillettes, and Iridium Supers), but for shaving my head, the Treet Platinum Specials were quite good -- just not available any cheaper than comparable blades.
second shave with the Treet today. another quality shave with zero burn. I can't stop feeling my face!! looks like Astra's are going to have to share the #1 blade spot in my bathroom with the newcomer.
