Gillette Super Thin (Modern)

[Bogeyman]

This has to be one of the most underrated Gillette blades made that is available to Western shavers. I say that as many other superb Gillette blades made in China are impossible to get here, e.g., Rubie Ultra Stainless, London Bridge, etc. This particular one is purportedly marketed for Thailand and what a smooooottthhhhh shaver it is!!

As a note, avoid the Gillette Super Thin Platinum made for the Vietnam market as it does not shave nearly was well IMO and opinions of many others. This one:

I am very glad you had success with this blade. I got mine from Thailand and the one I used so far I got through two strokes and binned it. Now it might be a bad blade but it was the worst blade I have ever used. Made a Derby Extra seem like a Feather.

Sometimes my mind sticks on the first thing.
Like a Rorschach Ink Blot Test.

Then chances are great you got a counterfeit one as the Chinese market is rife with them. This place sells bonafide ones:

Possibly and though I normally get all my blades from RBC these ones came from a seller on the Bay in Thailand. For such a small amount I do not know what the incentive would be. Anyway, I literally have thousands of other blades so the remaining four tucks will go unused.

And just for that very reason it's a lucrative black market. Millions of users for a few pennies adds up quick.

If you don't want the bad ones I will take them off your hands. I would like to compare boxes as well.

Now you have me wondering so I will work one into a rotation to see what gives. PM your address and I will send them your way brother.

Actually let me apologize @Bogeyman I am on the road at the moment but this discussion has caused to think that I may have thrown the remaining tucks in the trash. I will check and if I do have them I will send them out to you.
