Random Indian blade purchase

[geneaut]

These arrived in the mail today. I know Vertice and Zorrik, but the others are mysteries to me. I’m in the middle of Tiger week so I may not get to do a deep dive into these until next week.

Any of you fine shavers have any experience with these?

I've also had experience with Zorrick Blades, but don't remember the outcome. I'm interested in you opinion of these others!!

I’ll definitely report back.

Haven't tried any but I would think Vertice would be decent - they manufacture at least two types of DE blade for Gillette.

Do they make the Winner’s?

 

[Jopo]

Yes they make the the Winner Stainless, but not Winner Platinum, as well as Gillette London Bridge in blue packet for export to Egypt, last I'd seen.

I think that Zorrik is made by SuperMax who recently closed down. Great blade IMO. Get them while you still can if you like them.

Vertice global blades are pretty good. Vidyut, the makers of Super-Max, made Zorrik. Your blafd tuck could probably be the last one ever

Look forward to seeing how these blades perform!!

I have some of the Pro 500s. I think they were ok, but I've only used a couple. I have another other brand that I'm pretty sure is from the same company but the name escapes me at the moment.

I used the V12 today, and it gave me a smooth shave in one of my milder razors. Of course, I'll need to provide it with a few more shaves, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

Shave #2 with the V12. I slid it into Baili Tech clone head and it gave me a pretty effortless DFS+. I am holding to my opinion that this blade favors smoothness over sharpness, but for my face that is not an issue.

I’ll probably move it to my SLOC tomorrow, and then if it is still cutting try it in my Rockwell 6C. I’ll push for a BBS in each of them.

Thanks for the updates on these, I have some in my Indian blade sampler. I think I will move these up to next!

I ran the V12 through my Maggard Slant today. Very smooth and comfortable, but not super efficient.

I think this is a milder blade that will reward my face with comfort, and I'll just need to remember I'll need a bit more cleanup. As comfy and smooth as this blade is I can accept that trade-off.

I may load up a 'new' blade from my purchase for tomorrow.

Just another report.

I've used a Zorrik Super Platinum out of this order, and it was a very nice blade. A better cutter than the V12, but just as comfortable. I could use this as a daily driver with no issue.

I'm currently using the ShaveX Platinum, and it's been a good shaver as well for the three shaves I've used it in.

If I had to rank them so far it would be Zorrik > ShaveX > V12. All are comfortable with the main difference being sharpness/efficiency.
