I'm disappointed because I've used this code for a long time, most recently in February.
Now, only Promo10 provides a 10% discount.
Had promo 25 worked would have bought another case of 200

I like blades that are super sharp, yet also smooth. My favorites are:
BIC Chrome Platinum (Greece)
Gillette Nacet Platinum (Russia)
7 O'Clock Super Platinum Black (India)
Personna Platinum, especially the discontinued blades made in Israel
Dorco Prime Platinum STP301 (Vietnam)
Durablade Sharp Titanium (Bangladesh)
Thus, I am very International in my blade preferences.

On the other hand, I love Nacets and Israeli Reds, sitting on about 2000 of each.
My razors range in aggressiveness from the super mild Van der Hagen/Weishi TTO Superspeed clone to the rather aggressive Muhle R41.
The blades I listed as my favorites are far too sharp for use in the R41. For that razor, I would drop back to the mid-sharp, but very smooth 7 O'Clock Sharpedge (yellow). While I can use the R41, I do not really enjoy using it, so it normally remains in the drawer.
I only use the VDH TTO with super sharp blades.
I tend to use a different razor and blade combination for each of my four shave passes. Thus, I want the overall aggression of the razor/blade combination to be similar.
A couple of months ago, I tried using Dorco Prime Platinum blades in five different razors and use them for my shaves for several weeks. While the blades were perfect for some razors, they were not quite sharp enough for my VDH TTO and they were slightly too harsh in my open comb. That shows the importance of matching the blade to the razor and it also shows why blades are one of the more YMMV aspect of wet shaving.
