These are new old stock, I could not find these here in Brazil for a decade or more.

These are blades made in Solingen, Germany, sent to Hong Kong, packaged then sent to Brazil.

Any tips if these are Feintechnik GmbH blades ? Or Schick Asia / Edgwell Personal Care already produced blades in German more than a decade ago ?

Just ordered 600 Gillette London Bridge.

  • They're 'quite' good value, lol - the 600 cost me 597Baht = $16.75 inc delivery... yes, that's for the lot


turns out they're in a 10+1 offer packs...! So each tuck has 11 blades - meaning 660 for 597Bht ($16.75)

If you're in Thailand they're from this supplier on Shopee
 
Buying blades in small drabs is like going out on a date. A little ventured, maybe a little gained/maybe a little lost. No big deal one way or the other. A 50 blade purchase - should last a year or so - is like getting engaged. Anything more than 100 is a marriage.

Last week my shipment of 200 Gillette Rubies arrived from their native Russia. Went on a couple of dates with the Rubies over the last few months and decided to get hitched.

I caught some grief from the other blade in my life, the Polsilver SI. I still have 250 in my den. I am certain that I will be able to successfully manage both of my love interests.

Is blade polygamy wrong?
Only if you aren't using the proper prophylactic, er, alum block, er, styptic pencil... oh, never mind.

Gillette Platinum!
Picked up 100 on eBay for $12.99!
That's a great deal at .13 cents per blade.
I just recently started using them and find them sharp enough
and very smooth. My other blades have been set aside (for now).
Great blades!
If you really like this blades there is a seller in the same place who sells 1200 blades for US$ 80 (search 1200 gillette platinum), or 9.60 each 100. At a blade a week is more than a 20 years stock.

I bought from him when he had packs of 200 blades for US$ 16 and the stuff is genuine, the newest laser printed blades.

That's a great deal. I just started using them recently and have close to 200. When I go through those, if I still love them I'll go for the 1200.

Just received 300 Shark half-blades for my Leaf, for $9.50 from that river site.

Why?

I discovered that they work wonderfully in the Leaf - much better than the "Leaf" blades supplied with the razor. Also, I purchased a Razorock Hawk Eco a few days ago, and expect it to arrive soon.
