Week 48 Ends: Blade is the Gillette Platinum. The ones in the dark blue box with white lettering.
Have to say, this is a week with all first class shaves.
As an observation, the previous week I shaved with the Personna Platinum Chrome (The Israeli Red's). The Gillette Platinums are every bit as good as the IR's.
So, while things go away and we miss them dearly, there are other very nice DE blades that can take their place.
The Sputnik, not so much, but before the Sputnik, I used the Gillette 7-O'clock Sharpedge "Yellow" and these were also particularly excellent blades.
Both the Gillette Platinum's and the Gillette 7-O'clock Sharpedge "Yellow's" are currently available on Amazon.
No need to panic, just yet! DE shaving will carry on, at least for the time being. Though the Yellow's are PPI production, so don't wait too long...
The Platinum is still good for another shave or two.
