Gillette Platinum Double Edge (DE) Razor Blades

Love these blades as I get a close shave every time.

After trying the sample pack of Gillette blades, this was the winner for my particular beard.

These are not Swedes, named such due address on back of card package, nor are they equivalents or replacements. The UPC for the Cardboard Swedes (formerly in white box) was 3014260596989. They are still manufactured in Russia but packaged in a lighter blue box with the same UPC 3014260596989 and same blade markings. Doubtful in a blind test the difference would be felt, but these are not what today folks refer to as Swedes.

I previously shaved with multi blades. Gillette being the brand. So glad I found double edge razor and so glad I can still stay committed to Gillette. So glad I don’t burn my pocket anymore

The razors arrived in a timely manner, and were excellent condition (as expected).

I consider the Gillette Platinum as my "standard" blade, which I use to test out other safety razors. They offer an aggressive, yet comfortable shave!

IMHO, this is the best DE blade available.

Since I started de-shaving in April, I used Gillette platinum; ever since, they have become one of my overall favorite blades. For me, they shave closer, smoother, and more comfortably in any razor than any other blades, which is why I always try to add this blade to my blade rotation. I recommend using this blade if you want a sharper blade but don't want your face to hate you.

They shave nice, better than what I expected from Gillette

Wrong blade Swedes are solid blue box. False advertising as usual.

I have a soft to medium beard and the Jalette platinum blue did the job, but left a little stubble.

Very comfortable. Nice close shave. Extremely sharp but not in a threatening way.

A very nice blade. Shape but with good smoothness too. It is in my top 5 or 6 blades that I like all time, but no longer currently in my rotation as my current number 1, the Gillette Silver Blue, bumped it to far down the list. This is one of the sharpest blades that I have used, close to a Feather but smoother than the Feather. Very good blade, just not quite the best for me. YMMV though, they are definitely worth a try.

I know everyone is different, and these felt very sharp, but were fairly rough on my face as well. I felt the Feather blade was smother for me.

These are the best blades I have used for wet shaving. Smooth shave each time with irritation afterwards. I've always received a great shave with these blades.

Smooth shave with a sharp cut. No nicks or burns from using. Very pleased with this purchase and service.

Great blades, fast shipping. The packaging and the writing on the blades are different than my previous pack. The i in Gillette is squared off on the new ones. I’m sure it is just a rebrand on the manufacturers part but I was a little concerned how different they looked compare to the older ones. I’d update the website to reflect this change but overall great experience!

RE tuned up three razors. Great work, I started shaving in the mid-1960s (I am an old guy), and on a lark and picked DE shaving again. The tuned-up razors brought back the fondness of memories

Very smooth, sharp, excellent blades I have medium beard, sensitive skin. No cuts, burn. I use twice and toss. This blade along with German Wilkinson are the best for me. I use a Razorock BBS razor.

This one has made my rotation as well. This blade is a great combo of smooth and sharp. It’s just about perfect. It may not replace the feather or the astra green but it is very very close in the quality of shave for me.

I switch to these from feathers. And a good choice for me. I don’t tend to nick myself to much compared to when I used feather. They are just as sharp for a smooth shave but just duller then feather to reduce nicking. Little irritation from using the. (I shave a lot against the grain) So far I have tried these, feathers and voskhood and I rank them in that order. Honestly not really planning on using voskhood after using these and feathers.

Excellent

Excellent product

Best blades I've found.

Sharpness of these is comparable to Feathers but much smoother.

As sharp as Feather but, smoother. This blade glides through your beard.

Good Product

I bought a refurbished Gillette slim adjustable from Matt. It is an absolutely awesome razor. It looks brand new and functions perfectly. I've ordered a number of different blades ranging from mildest to most aggressive and have been trying combinations of razor settings and blade aggressiveness. So far this blade and the razor set on 4 (a medium setting) has given me the best shave.

I'm a newbie to wet shaving. These blades worked well. I do however get a closer shave with Derby. Could be my technique as I am new.

I get 4-6 shaves per blade

Great razor blade nice and clean shave.

I’ve never tried Gillette blades before! (Except for back in the day with the ridiculously overpriced Mach 3, etc...) These are very good and provide a good shave! For me, they are not as good as the Persona Platinum, which provide a closer and smoother shave, but that is of course something that is going to be different for everyone. I would recommend giving these a try though- I was pleasantly surprised! Razor Emporium’s sharpness ratings are as always, right on the button.

They work well for me. I am pleased with the product.

This product is not original blades I used to work for P&G and I know how blade is perform on the shave and I am professional Master Barber. very disappointed.
