I really like DE blades with coating.
I prefer Platinum Chrome (Personna) and Teflon Ceramics (Derby).
Now it seems that new Parker Premium Platinum combines the two types.
With the advantage of the Turkish experience, German processing and Swedish stainless steel (Sandvik).
To offer maximum performance, especially in smoothness and comfort.
Does anyone know them?
I would like to read impressions and experiences.
I didn't know any blades were being produced in these times without coatings on them. In the old days DE blades were precision made and you could get 10 shaves guaranteed with no coatings on them. Now a days coatings are just a crutch to make up for poor processing and they usually don't last more than 3 or 4 shaves if you be lucky.
I use Parker blades Premium platinum. They are as sharp as Gillette 7'O Clock. I've paired them up with Parker SRX heavy, and Parker 94R heavy (short handle). It does wonders.
It's no way as sharp as feather, it's in between Astra and 7'O Clock.
The mildest I use are Wilkinson Sword.
Parker PP, are easily lasting beyond multiple shaves, but I just throw them away after a single shave. They leave similar cuts as a feather if not careful.
