I finally obtained some vintage Schick Plus Platinum Plus DE blades. They are the last vintage blade on my "Bucket List".

Excellent!

Very good blades. Similar to the Krona Chrome in feel but I think they keep their edge longer.

If they're blocked, or stuck together, and won't slide out of the dispenser easily run a hair dryer over them to warm them up. I do that with a few different brands in dispensers. There's a little bit of oil on them and it gets really stiff as the decades have passed.

Great blades. For me they have been just a slight step below Wilkinson Light Brigades, Personna 74s, and Gillette 'Swedes' in overall quality of shave. In my experience, I would rate them about equal to Gillette 'Annecy Swedes' or Super Stainless 'Spoilers,' Schick Krona Comfort Edges, or Wilkinson Falcons, all very good.

First shave today. Nice and sharp as expected. We'll see how it fares in longevity.

They are great blades. I scored a few NOS, but haven't touched them in a while.

Thanks for giving me a reason...

Shave #14 today using 3 different razors. All have been excellent. I could easily go on, but will go for longevity with the next one. Impressed.

I have enough new razor blades, I'm going to try to get some vintage ones to try. Which should I get first?(basically, which can I find for the cheapest?)

I would go with the Gillette "Spoiler" Super Stainless. Enjoy!
