Thread: Gillette Stainless vs Gillette Platinum

Which one is sharper?
Gillette Stainless: https://www.barbierit.ro/produs/lame...-3-pachete/262 or Gillette Platinum: https://www.barbierit.ro/produs/lame...3-pachete/261?

I'm guessing the stainless are uncoated while the others are coated. Usually the coated gives a more comfortable shave but that doesn't mean one is sharper than the others. You'll need to either experiment or wait until someone who uses both chimes in.

I agree with the above comment. I think its the same blade with a coating. I like the feel of the Platinums. Then one step nicer feel to me is the Nacet. Why, I dont know.

The Nacet was the most comfortable.

Nacets are my favorites too but I have a few feathers that Jerry included when he kindly sent me a selection of blades to try when i bought my first DE, a Rockwell 6c and I do like them a lot, they seem to get sharper after the first shave but maybe I'm imagining it.

Quite some time back, I had tried both.

I did not care for the Stainless ones and never finished the pack, the Platinum ones were o.k.
The Stainless ones are not much talked about around here, but some members here swear by the Platinum ones.

You could try the Platinum ones and see whether they suit you.
Once you know the Platinum ones, you too will probably find that the Stainless ones are inferior.



But it does not really matter, does it, because both blades are out of stock…

If you want to order from this vendor, you could order Personna Platinum blades.
These are much loved blades.
Japanese Feathers are hellish sharp, but don’t last quite that long even though I do like them for their close and comfortable shaves


B.

If you like uncoated blades the Kai blades are uncoated and very well finished. They equal the Feather and some say you can hone them. The Personna Hospital blades are about as sharp.
