PIF: Gillette Singapore thin

rxonmymind · Mar 17, 2012

Just got these in from Dr. Idiot(thank you). I'm willing to send each of you three individual blades and IF you like, tell B&B your experience with these blades. It could be as short as: "these suck" :001_tongu

to something like an in depth review. Limit to the first seven who sign up.

Cheers!

I'd like to sign up, please. I really enjoy trying different blades. Thanks, very nice PIF.

Looks like I'm too late. Great pif though.

rxonmymind · Mar 18, 2012

All ready to go in the mail! Thanks for everyones participation! :w00t:

All seven...I think

Sqratch · Mar 22, 2012

Got my blades today! Thanks. I will put them to the test my next shave and report back.

I believe those are from Thailand. The other version of the thin is from Vietnam, and not nearly as good. Not in on the PIF (very gracious though) because I have a bunch of these and find them the best single blade for my tech. Compared to the Astra SP, noticeably smoother and just as sharp. The smoothness can be quantified as a lack of audio feedback compared to the Astras.

These are fantastic blades at a reasonable price.

I agree. Don't want to spoil the others view. But I will say. YES! x 2(shaves)
That's it.

oh jeez, sorry about that!

Is there a difference in the packaging? I have a pack of these waiting to be tested, got them a couple weeks ago. I find that all of the Gillette Branded blades (green, yellows, etc) shave really well for me, actually, I think my top five are probably Gillettes.

Cwwhiteboy,
I'm not familiar with the packaging of the other far east Gillette blades but these have been wrapped twice. Once in wax then the outer Gillette paper. Very nice IMO. No glue spot either!

. Will definately be trying these out in a couple days then. Thanks.

My first shave with these blades this a.m. in a NEW LC (since it's still OC March). I'll hold my comments until I've gone through all three blades.

Thanks for the PIF. I'm sure I'd have never tried these blades otherwise.

Received my blades yesterday (Thanks!!!). Will report back after I go through them.
