Russian blades

I have not tried the dark blue platinum, but my favorite Russian blade is the Gillette rubie platinum plus. These last twice as long as other blades for me and are very smooth.

Perma-Sharp Super. Probably my top blade. The 7 O'Clock Blacks are pretty good too.

I find the Gillette Nacet blades to be most excellent, very sharp and super smooth. I was provided with a tuck of this blade when I purchased my Black Mamba from Italian Barber. I never tried the blades until a few weeks ago and I was blown-away by the performance.

I go along with Andy . Nacet blades are really good.

I almost forgot about this thread! I've got a running list, so looks like I'll need to add a few more to my list. Thanks guys.

The Blacks are great, but I think they are made in India, not Russia. Still excellent blades, maybe my third favorite

Rapira Platinum Lux are pretty nice - I tried the Rapira swedish steel and they weren't as nice.

Perma-Sharp Super. Probably my top blade. The 7 O'Clock Blacks are pretty good too.

Agreed. Super smooth and the longevity is better than most Russian blades that I have tried.

You're probably right. I forgot the blacks are made at a different plant. I stand by my comments on the Perma-Sharps though...

old thread, i know, but i've really fallen for ladas blades of late.
