Specially selected since you liked the Treet. I prefer Treet Falcon, but it is a sharper modern designed carbon blade. My recommendations for you are based on the Mild Blade thread and personal experience. Those blades will last 4-6 shaves.

Tonight's shave with a Treet Classic was great. Very close and almost no perceptible alum burn.
The falcon, the bolzano and the rubie are pricier than the black beauties
Not necessarily per shave.
This week I shaved with a Rapira platinum lux and an Astra superior platinum. They both went through the stubble with ease, but I ended up with quite a few nicks to say the least, especially with the Astra.
So today I went back to the Treet carbon... It felt slightly tuggier (probably because it wasn't after a shower) but I ended up with a BBS shave and no nick ...

Black Beauties perform as smooth as GSB's, in my Gillette Old Type. In everything else, they give a rough & irritating shave.
The Treet New Edge excel in my Slims and Superspeeds. The rest of my Treet Selection is just ho-hum so far, but I may be able to eventually pair it with the right Vintage Gillette.

I just had probably one of my two best shaves so far with a Treet carbon (2) mounted on a Parker semi-slant. I took time to prepare. I had a shower and exfoliated beforehand then rubbed some cube 2.0 on my whiskers. I ended the ceremony with an alum block and soothed the skin with some French skin bracer. Although I got one nick on my neck, under the jawline, I got a BBS shave in 3 passes and most importantly the skin wasn't red or irritated (thing that I can't get with all the other blades I've tried). It felt great and effortless.
I keep thinking that there might be better blades out there but I keep coming back because they keep giving me complete satisfaction...

I tried a black beauty for the first time today. It felt different at first. I couldn’t put my finger on it. Then I though it was tugging and possibly not super sharp. I stuck with it and started to notice it felt rather smooth. All on all a pretty great blade. I used a harve oc c plate. Very smooth shave but I think I forgot to do a third pass on my upper lip in all the hubbub. Now I disassembled the razor and took the blade out.is it recommended to remove the blade in between use to avoid rust?

From what I read they rust easily and are more designed for one use only and for salons you see mate
I didn't like it, low end of average for me tbh

I am using a Treet Platinum now from a sampler pack I ordered. So far, it has been a very good blade. I am on shave 3 and will see how long these blades will last for me. I am intrugued with the Black Beauties but I have not tried them yet.
I have so many blades and assorted razors in my rotation, I don’t know if I’ll ever get around to trying all my blades out.
I feel bad because I have all these Different Treet blades, and have only ever used the black beauties (which I like).
Maybe we need a Treet day, week, or month in order to explore this much ignored brand.
I don’t know if there are others, but here is a photo of what Treet blades I have on hand, but have yet to explore.

Had no idea Treet had so many versions!

yea i got a most of them too, but honestly didnt rate the black beauty at all
I'm a big fan of the Treet Classics, sharp enough for me and very smooth and comfortable.
Yup, Im a fan of Treets. Platinums are good and durable, Classics are sharper, very sharp imo but the longevity is worse. Not a big deal cause they are cheap. But Dura Sharp, damm they are awesome - sharp and unbelievably smooth but you need to take them out of a razor cause they tend to rust otherwise. I take the blade out, rinse it and then blow on them and voilla.
Does anybody use the New Treet (4th row in the middle)?
I have only tried one Platinum but I liked it. More smooth than sharp. I ordered 100 Black Beauties because I’m curious and they weren’t expensive. If I hate them I’ll PIF. It seems like most people are at least curious to try them so they won’t go to waste.
I just got back from Merz's I'm going to test out the Treet Platinum.
