Polsilver Super Iridium DE Blades at BullGoose

**BullGoose** · 08-17-2012, 01:31 PM

The Super Iridium was the blade that all other blades were compared against until they virtually disappeared from western stores a couple of years ago. Super Iridium blades did not actually get discontinued though. When they disappeared from Western stores, it was because of the change in distribution to P&G Poland. The blades however are still being made as always by PPI in St. Petersburg, Russia under license from Gillette USA. With the change in distribution came a change in packaging but by all accounts, these are the same Super Iridium blades that you have known and loved. They are back!!!

I bit. Again I was pleased that I got a confirmation and note within a very short time of ordering. Looking forward to trying these.

This is great news, Phil. I hope you stocked up on these - they're going to fly off your shelves.

**cluelessdude** · 08-17-2012, 04:31 PM

Nowadays Feathers are the blades for all comparisons.

**Sqratch** · 08-17-2012, 04:58 PM

Finally the iridiums for a reasonable price. Thanks Phil!

Phil,
Thanks for the quick saturday shipping. Couldn't resist stocking up on some more polsilvers and why not add a fatip piccolo to go with my other fatip. Thanks for carrying the best blade stateside!! Do you have a good supply coming, I sure hope so.
Aaron

That's your opinion. I personally think they suck.

Agreed. I dont think they suck I just think there not all there wrapped up to be. Longevity on them is not good for my face but. YMMV.

By all accounts these are the same Russian SI's? Just purchased 100 Phil. :) And will be purchasing a lifetime supply from you if this truly turns out to be the case. :)

I've tried them and, while I can't say if they are the same blade, I can say that I can't tell any difference. As sharp as any blade I've used, and smoother than all but a couple of others. I got 6 shaves from one blade that were indistinguishable from the first, and a 7th that was just as comfortable but not quite as close. Pretty much exactly like the original Super Iridiums. As good as any blade I've used. Bullgoose's price is a bargain.

Sharp yes. For me not that much of a comfortable shaver compared to a SI or Poli SI.
Glad the Poli SI's are at BG with as good a price as they offer.

Can't wait to try them. This could be an answer to prayer for me, I had 2 SI blades left from my original stash.

EXcellent news!

Guess we all better stock up in the event they 'discontinue' once again.

**bastimret** · 08-18-2012, 08:11 PM

Ordered a couple packs to try these bad boys out.

**Rjacklin** · 08-19-2012, 05:20 PM

Never tried them but it seems like great reviews. I orderes a 50 pack and got my confirmation number over the weekend shipped. Awesome customer service. Thank you!

**OkieStubble** · 08-20-2012, 09:51 AM

Ordered a card of 100 Saturday and recieved it in the mail this Monday morning. Phil is the man! Just as he said, the box says 'made in Petersburg'. Can't wait for my evening shave before work so I can compare these SI's to the original.

**j_fro** · 08-20-2012, 10:00 AM

Phil mentioned I would get mine today, and they are out for delivery now. I did not shave this morning in order to try them out as soon as I get home.

j_fro: I've been using Polsilver SI blades and love them! Until now they've been difficult to get in the States. I just placed an order with Phill to add to my ever increasing stockpile of PSI blades. You're going to have a great shave this evening. I've yet to try a blade that can best Polsilver SI blades. Go home and get your shave on! You're going to enjoy it!

I did! I have admittedly not used Feathers so I can not compare the two but these blades worked really well for me on the first shave. I am not the most experienced DE user out there, I occasionally get a lil razor burn (Hello Gillette Super Thin), and I am generally pleased with a 2 pass or 3 pass DFS- but I liked these alot. Glad I got 50 just in case. For me these are the best I have used so far -the others being Merkur, Wilkinson, Gillette Super Thin, Personna Red.
