What double-edge razor blade am I missing?

[Eric_75]

After trying a small handful of sharper blades, I've decided to order a bulk pack of Treet Platinums. They've consistently given me a close, clean, almost irritation free shave time and again.

I say "almost" because I'm still working on my technique, but I get very little razor burn, razor bumps, nicks, cuts, or weepers from them. Just a smooth clean shave. Even with a clean up pass on my notoriously sensitive neck.

Have you tried the Treet 7 Days Platinum?

 

[JCarr]

I haven't. I think I have one or two lying around somewhere though. Will give it a whirl if I do.

I recently tried some Gillette Perma-sharp and was very impressed with them. Strongly recommend them to try out if your enjoying variety.

These are great blades. I bought a few after finding out my beloved Polsilvers were discontinued (if you look back far enough you can even find my post where I bought 1100) and wanted to find something suitable for the future.

Permasharps are just a smudge less sharp but that is enough where razors that are normally too aggressive with the Polsilvers are much more enjoyable. I’m going to try some Nacets as well soon and hoping for something similar.

New Production 7 O’clock yellows aren’t what they used to be. Closer to the old Israeli Personna Reds now IMO

How would you say the Gillette Platinum Plus (made in Brazil) stack up against vintage Gillettes? I tried one yesterday and wasn't blown away by it, but am wondering if I should give it a few more shaves to sharpen up before moving on.

This is my absolute favorite blade and I have tried the following over the years:

Astra SP
BIC (yellow pack)
Bolzano (German made)
Derby (Green)
Feather
Gillette 7 O'Clock Black (India)
Gillette Silver Blue
Gillette Platinum (White background on navy border, grey lettering; not the royal blue pack)
Gillette, King C Gillette
Merkur
Timor

If anyone has used the Gillette Platinum Plus (Brazil) and likes another blade more that is not on the above list, I would like to know about it.
