Review on 25 GILLETTE Platinum Double Edge Razor Blades - Premium Quality Blades from Russia by Latarsha Spencer

They only deserve four stars as they aren't as good as they were when they were made in the USA in the 70's, but that's just my opinion . I've been shaving since 1975 and remember when DE blades were slightly better and came in a metal dispenser. At the same time, they are the best, and Gillette Blue Silver takes second place. A pack of 5 will last around three months if you change your blades regularly. Tip: Don't shave more than twice with the same blade if you have a thick beard. If you have a light beard, no more than three. The reason is that the blades lose their sharpness much faster, maybe because they are made a bit thinner. I'm not sure. You'll know it's time for a change when you feel a tug or need to push harder (no, no with a DE razor) to get a closer shave. Remember that it is safer to shave with a fresh blade than a dull one. one.
