I recently ordered a 100 pack of New Lord Platinum out of pure curiosity. I've tried the Shark Platinums and have gotten great shaves from them. I figured since Lord makes Shark blades they might be the same blade and since they were at $6.90 USD on Amazon I couldn't resist. Now I'm contemplating what's the difference between Lord Platinum and Lord Platinum Class? I know I got issues. I will never be a minimalist☹
