GIVEAWAY! Challenge PIF - Can You Fffeeeeelll The Difference?!?

Challenge PIF - Can You Fffeeeeelll The Difference?!?​

Same blade, difference packaging, and yet, there is something different about the blade. Can you fffeeeeelll it?!? Here are 2 Versions of the same excellent Gillette Platinum Blade ready to be put to the rigorous shave test!! Do they feel the same, is there any difference; maybe there is, maybe there ain't!! The fun is trying these for yourselves!! And just for the why-nots, let's toss in the SuperMax Blue Diamond Platinum to see how it stands up against Gillette Platinum Blades!!

A huge Thank You to @Space_Cadet for 100 of the Blue Box White Letter Gillette Platinum Blades, and to @Tathlum for 100 White Box Blue Letter Gillette Platinum Blades and the SuperMax Blue Diamond Platinum Blades!! That makes 300 Platinum Blades to send out!!

Participants can choose 1, 2 or 3 of any one kind of Platinum, up to 6 Platinum Blades in Total. Mix and Match these Platinum Blades, and put them to the test against each other.

To make it easier to keep track of which Gillette Platinum is which, since there are no markings to differentiate them, I will place a Black Dot on the Blue Box White Letter Gillette Platinum Blades, and a Silver Dot on the White Box Blue Letter Gillette Platinum Blades.

This Challenge PIF is open to any and all (International and CONUS B&B'ers)!!

There are certain rules that apply:

• You must have 10 quality posts (if you don't have 10, get posting!!)
• You're willing to post about your fffeeeeelllings about these blades in this thread
• Have great fun trying these Platinum Blades

@Grundi, @Space_Cadet, and @Tathlum, you all are exemplars of why this forum is so great! Thank you so much for adding tons of fun!

Not in, I'm deep in reviewing/culling razors, just wanted to praise and high-five you three!!!

I’m in for 2 of each of the 3

 

[slimshavy]

Fun challenge, as always, though I'll again have to cheer from the sidelines. In my bearded state, I don't have enough real estate for a proper trial.

 

[ewk]

I'm Blue Without Platinue-m!!

 

[Tathlum]

I'm Blue Without Platinue-m

 

[shavepunx]

"I'm In!!" or "I'm Blue Without Platinue-m!!" or "Seriously, Just Send Me The Blades!!"

 

[psfred]

No need to jump in, I've tried the White and blue box Plantiums and like them fine, and the Blue Diamond is very similar. Have not tried the other Platinum, but I have too many blades already!

 

[bartje-p]
