Thread: What is this?

The other day picked a blade from a sample pack, turned out to be a great blade. It was in a plain white wrapping so I have no clue who makes it

Says Super + Platinum Made in USA
Any help would be nice as I rather liked it and wouldn't mind getting more

Interesting that you got it in a wrapper. That arrow is usually most often on blades packed in dispensers. My first guess was obviously a Gillette super platinum in an old dispenser... but I can't find any that look like that - and Gillette loves to put their name on everything multiple times, so I'm at a loss!

Yeah I was thinking Gillette as well but really that was a guess based largely in the Made in USA

Hmm decided to use my google foo, probably should have started with this
according to the patent number it is this
Patent US3071856 - Razor blade and method of making same - Google Patents

So apparently it is a Gillette

That was my thought as well. I have some still in a cartridge, but no name anywhere. Maybe Shick.

Cant be those as the link says they are made in Israel but it is th same Pat #

Try a search for Personna DE blades. They may be the only US maker that still makes DE blades in the US. They also have DE blades made in Israel. I don't think Gillette currently makes any DE blades in the US but they have them made in Russian and also India I believe. If all else fails contact where you got the sample pack from.

Good useful tips but I have no clue where the sample pack came from so I cant exactly contact them
