This is a case where I wager PPI production is more consistent than subjective impressions.
Nacet verses Perma Sharp Blades
- Thread starter bbobbdd

They are my two favorite blades. I prefer Nacets. Of course I do… because I have three times as many Perma-Sharps.
I know that Nacets are a bit sharper...but Permasharps seem to work better for me in most razors. Nacets feel rough in a razor with positive exposure, whereas Permasharps feel relatively smooth.
Horses for courses. Both are good blades.

I like them both A LOT! But the one I stocked up on is the Perma-Sharp.
Of course this is highly subjective. On my face, I get better shaves from Nacet. Smoother than PermaSharp, for me. I toss them after two shaves. Cheap enough not to worry about the small amount saved by going further and risking pulling or tugging. At 15c per blade, that is 7.5c per day if used twice, 3.75c if used 4 times; so the difference is under 4 pennies a day to use for only two days. Not worth squeezing the last pennies, to me anyway.
Goblin makes a good point above, regarding blade exposure. I use a razor with very small exposure. Things may well be different with a larger exposure razor.

Perma Sharp for me, Nacets are good but Perma Sharp are a cut above, see below.
* Whilst being a decent blade Nacets a 3.5/5 for me, Perma Sharp Takes the win 4.75/5

You're stocked up for the blade-pocalypse!
Id love to say thats them all.....
Pics or it doesn't countIt is?
I may have a problem...
This, Im the flip side of the coin to @dmshaver where im a Perma Sharp guy and thats the head wreck, some love a blade others cant stand it, or its meh, over the last 2 decades i have went from Astra Green to G.S.B's to 7 O'clock blacks and to my biggest purchase of 600 blades of Gillette Perma Sharp, if you like both then its what deals are on at the time.
Definitely NACET.
Perma-sharp felt more tuggy and took more effort to cut hair, all while not being as smooth.
Perma sharp, for me, is like Astra SP... everybody loves them but they didn't work for me at all.

Gillette Silver Blues are that way for me. Everybody loves 'em. Don't work for me at all.

Welcome to The Silver Blue Resistance, Simon.
squarely in the Perma-Sharp camp here .... Nacets were smooth but left me with some razor burn. I have a tuck hanging around somewhere and may have to try them again.
Who doesn’t love to see a man wrestle a crocodile? Nacets for me.
Pics or it doesn't count
Pics would involve collecting stuff together from about 5 different locations in the house. I did some mental arithmetic and I don't think I am that far ahead of you. Maybe by a couple hundred. (Trust me, there are guys here with stashes that dwarf either of ours.) What prompted my comment is that I am currently waiting to checkout on an order with another 300...and debating with myself whether that's really enough!
