"You can get an 84 pack of these for around 84 dollars". The way you said that with so much confidence made me laugh so hard.
Fuckin' weird right? 100 blades for ~20$
Hell yes after 8 months of asking I finally get the review of the blade. I mean I already have it and it's my favorite blade. Now to watch the video.
But I must say , I definitely think they are sharper than the lab blues. The lab blues tug at my skin and these slice the hair smooth and clean. Again every person has different preferences though.
Abhi K. I got 8 shaves out of one 7 o clock blade ....9 rupees for 8 shaves ...definitely better than 2.7 rupees for one shave with wilkinson sword
Doesn't suit me as well, maybe with a different razor it may. But i have only one working DE.
My go to blade is the Gillette silver blue. But I finally tried one of these tonight and it was brilliant!!! Might be my new favorite, depending on consistency.
These blades are my fav, although the gillette permasharp (green) blades are a bit smoother than these but less sharper. As of today in India Gillette Super Platinum are the best and sharpest blades
I have a very tough beard and the Lab Blues tug on my beard while the Super Platinums don't. I definitely find them to be sharper than Lab Blue blades. GSB is the best blade for me in more aggressive razors and Feather's in mild razors.
In order of priority .. (from a face and head shaver)
1. Gillette 7 o'clock super platinum.
2. Gillette Wilkison Sword
3. Gillette 7 o'clock permasharp stainless.
Excellent review on the 7 O'clock Super Platinum! I do get excellent shaves from these blades. I'm in the process of watching your blade review videos. Many blades that I have, but have not used yet. Your reviews are very thorough! Regards Robert
I use feathers for my feather razor, astra green, voskhod and gillette yellows rotated for my other razors. love your videos and particularly your blade reviews. Keep it up!
Astra green, voskhod and gillette yellows and greens. I was going to try Gillette super platinum , but I heard bad thing's...
Gillette Super Platinum give same result as Mach3 and is economical too.
I really love this blade that Nick reviewed.
I really like these blades, these are easily available in India, I use these in my Merkur 37c, but get only 3-4 comfortable shaves, I have a very thick dense and tough beard and I shave daily with Merkur 37c razor and these blades.
What about the Yellow and Green 7oclocks?
@@jonhawkins2374 Greens are available but not that smooth and sharp, I have tried yellow ones also those are good but not like these ones these are the best and high end blades by Gillette, for me these are better than Astras and Feathers Personas are not available in INDIA and I have not tried.
thank you for finally reviewing this blade. my favorite, go to blade.
Miss your videos... maybe you can come back someday for a one last shave for us.. 👍
Thanks as always for the review. I am learning a good deal about the different blades. Appreciate it!
My go to blade; awesome when paired with an Edwin Jagger DE89. Thanks for the review.
Same here. This one and the Super Stainless pairs perfectly with my Edwin Jagger DE89.
I am not certain if anyone mentioned or not but have you tried the Gillette Platinum in the blue packaging? They look similar to the Silver Blue. They are both made in Russia. I found them to be as sharp or sharper than the 7 O'Clock Platinum but much smoother.
I just ordered some in a variety pack. 7 o'clock, platinum and two other kinds of Gillette, my dad likes them. I liked the Asian blades i got with a really crappy safety razor online. anyway, have a great day, and I'm glad your video was an honest review..
Hi Nick! I am going through and catching up on all your shave videos. One is better than the one before it! You're pure, clean and fun entertainment around the undeniably masculine ritual of shaving. I think you look very handsome wearing a mustache. However, in the end I am glad you shaved it off as well as the November beard. Sorry to disagree with your wife, my final answer is you look awesomely handsome clean shaven (and I have a feeling you know that!). One thing I wanted to suggest or ask is, did you ever think about expanding to include haircuts among your videos? You have the perfect hair, haircut and looks for it. It's a natural outgrowth of the shaving videos. I'm sure you'd be a natural at it too! Please let me know if I can provide any encouragement for the haircut videos ;-) Thanks for the awesome work and thank you for being so dedicated to it! It is greatly appreciated!
Good blades..in India these are 100 are for $7.50 and most expensive Indian DE blades.
In India, we get other cheaper blades as well, almost 1/5th th price of "Super platinum", even from same Gillette (Permasharp). But such cheaper blades can be used just once and cannot be reused. It looses its sharpness after 1 shave. On the other hand, I have used the "Super platinum" 4 times (for each blade) and it works fine.
GILLETTE 7 0 CLOCK BLADE HOW MANY TIMES USEAGE ?
i use the gillette wilkinson sword razor blades 100 for £6.99 ebay in the uk
Hello, Nick! What do you think of the Gillette Nacet blades? Thank you!
My favorite blade. But I feel they are much sharper than Astra SP. Stays sharp longer and much smoother. Will now try Personna Blues tho.
Hay are you still doing shaveing videos man
My results were similar to yours with this brand of blade. My blade came with a Gillette 7 o' clock three piece razor.
Thanks Nick , great look at those blades !
Nice shave...and yup them 7 oclock greens superior are very sharp...and do a great shave...but I still love my sharks
How many shaves would these last till you need to pop in a new one. And between this and the green Gillete 7'oclock super stainless which would you recommend? Thanks and great reviews btw. Your's is probably the only review available on Gilettes :) which is the only decent blade available in India.
You have to try all the blades to see which one suits you best. I use Gillette Wilkinson Sword ( India and China), 7 o clock platinum and super platinum. Super Platinum works best for me. You can use a blade for 3 shaves if you are a regular shaver. Otherwise you can use a new one every time you shave, if you shave casually once a week or so. All these blades are dirt cheap anyway.
Great review nick! Yep +1 for a test using GSBs (Gillette Silver Blue) . Lots of love out there for them. I'm still cruising sites for a fair price on them. I haven't tried these personally but hear they have a nice balance of smoothness and sharpness.
Hi Nick,
Good review.
Can you do Gillette Sliver blue blades?
Hi Nick,
I'm from India and interchangeably use this blade and the Astra SP. I have a feeling that both blades are same, just manufactured under different brands for different markets. Even the name of the two blades are same "Super Platinum". Both give me exact same shaves. Can you do a Astra SP vs Gillette Black comparison, specially putting the two edges under a lens and measuring the thickness of blade? I'm so curious to get some scientific data to prove what I feel.
Rohit Bansal I agree with you.
You try ZORIK PLATINUM blades those are awesome in smoothness just like Derby, moreover made in India, Gillette Wilkinson sword blades are also made in India, very sharp but not smooth.
I disagree, I've used both and they're very different. Astra is smoother but less sharp though I think it lasts longer. Gillette black is the only blade I've used till now which feels close to the feather in terms of sharpness but for much cheaper.
Rohit, Astra was originally a Czechoslovakian blade brand made in Czechoslovakia. It was purchased, and is now made in Russia. 7 O'Clock was originally a separate brand. I do not recall it's original country. It was purchased by Gillette, and AFAIK all of the blades labeled 7 O'Clock are manufactured in India.
Used my favourite 7 O’clock Blue super platinums today so smooth. Do the blacks come close to the Russian blues?
the Gillette rubie is a great blade as well.
My favourite blade. best blade in India.
Hey Nick Great to see your face again:}
I was thinking of you the other day when I had back surgery
when I met with my surgeon I noticed that he was fresh shaven and had to nicks on his face :0 I told him about your you tube channel .
can't wait to follow your blade reviews. I thought I herd you say you are going to use all sterling soaps did I hear right ?
Would you ever own and consider doing a straight razor shave video of a 4/8 Solingen blade? Either way, I'm a proud subscriber, keep up the great shaves!
yes! Thank you!!
Gillette is marketing the Platinum Plus in the US. They are made in Brazil. Right now they're only sold in packs of nine at Walgreen's. If you want to try them, I'll send you a box of three. (No need to buy nine for a review.) Do you have a PO box that for that?
N.B. Platinum Plus is different from these Super Platinum "blacks."
Hey Nick. I noticed you set up the razor and kinda took your time after applying the lather to your face. If I don't immediately jump into shaving after applying lather, the last quadrant doesn't dissipate, but it does dry out quite a bit (almost chalky), even if I make sure to add plenty of water when building the lather. Does this ever happen to you? Am I doing something wrong?
this is caused by quality of soap and quality of lather.
Hi Nick, just wanted to know if personnas lab blue gives a great shave with Merkur 34c HD? Btw your channel is pretty awesome 😊
Nick, would you be interested in trying some of the Rockwell razor blades? I can send you some in a couple weeks when I get mine.
I much prefer the Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge (Yellow pack). My favorite Gillette blade is the Gillette Silver Blue. There's also the Gillette Super Stainless (Green pack). Gillette/Proctor & Gamble also owns The Art of Shaving shops, and P&G of course, owns the venerable Old Spice brand. Now if only they would announce they're reissuing all their classic stainless steel DE razors in a limited series, made in the USA with the original specs.
I really can't tell how good a blade is for me until I finish the XTG 2nd pass on my neck. I then have to repeat a modified XTG during the touch-ups. A smooth blade will leave me with little irritation. I've yet to have a close, nick free shave on the neck with the Gillette 7 O'Clock black. I can avoid the nicks only if I'm willing to give up a BBS shave for the neck with the Gillette Blacks.
Nick, I'd eventually like to see you try the Personna Medical Prep blade. Have you ever tried the Old Spice lime of shaving creams in tubes that are made in India? There's lime, regular and musk. The Old Spice Musk aftershave that's only produced in India for P&G my Rubicon is excellent.
hey Nick great videos love learning about wet shaving / de shaving de shaving. I'm fairly new in to the Hobby and haven't ordered a sampler blade pack yet. right now I'm just trying to get the hang of things. I'm currently using a 1964 Gillette Tech and some blades I got at the local Walmart ( Gillette Platinum Plus de blades) which I'm sure a lot of people that are getting into the hobby first buy because that's all that is available unfortunately.
so what my question is if you could get time to do a blade review on the Gillette Platinum Plus blades from Walgreens or Walmart. so we can hear the opinion of someone with more experience and de shaving thanks again Nick hope you have a good week!
Please do atop five or ten blades. Also how often do you change your blades thanks
love the Blacks. have you tried the Gillette Silver Blue blades?
Nick, is there a reason you don't shave against the grain?
My favorite blade.
Margaritas in the Arctic is an awesome soap! I have it myself but the packaging is totally different. Mine is in metal with a screw top and a different sticker. Is yours an older version?
I know you've used them in a few videos, but I don't think you've done a review of Gillette Silver Blues yet, have you? I'd love to see your opinion in this format, especially when they are ranked in most people's top 5 or higher.
Hey Nick at 1:31 you said 84 blades for 84 dollars. You correct yourself moments later. Great video as always
Oops! 84 blades for $14
+nick shaves My jaw hit the floor when you said that.
+nick shaves have you ever tried personna 74 blades. They are discontinued but available on ebay
I find these plenty smooth. Great blades!
If you could do a video of your favorite blades that would be awesome!
Still don't know how you get anything done without going ATG. I've tried WTG+ XTG one way + XTG the other way (3 formal passes) and I'm left with sandpaper.
Officer Dangle. lol. Solid review. I'll try them.
Thats the real deal highway patrol stash well done
The blue 7 o'clocks are I believe the sterling . Not common to come by
At West Coast Shaving, I saw some Gilette "Minora" blades. They were insanely expensive. Have you used them or plan to do a review on them?
Good video as always
give the Bluebird a try
That's a really cool poster of a cut-throat you have on the wall! Where did you get it from?? :)
Did you make a Dorco video yet? That's all my local beauty supply sells. $1 for 10 blades or $8 for 100 blades. The old man who used to own that same supply shop charged $6 for the same 10 blade pack of Dorco blades!!!
+Rob G Nick has already reviewed three Dorco blades at this point. Check out his review on Dorco's Prime blades, I just got some and they are great in a Merkur 34C. The lower end Dorco blades are a little rough, but maybe your face will like them.
Killer 'stash...you should do a remake of Beastie Boys Sabotage...
I'm new to de razors and I just bought a Edwin Jagger de89 (which I love and it's made in the UK!) and a cheap badger hair brush it cost me £10 it's super soft but it stinks! I have shampooed it 2/3 times and used it a fair amount but it still stinks. First time I cleaned it before use the water was brown it was grim. Is this normal? Will the smell grow or should I upgrade brush? I have one of these blades that I got in a sample pack I'll try it out next time.
This id definitely not normal! Either spend a decent amount of money and go higher grade badger or buy a cheap boar brush! I dnt like boar as much but seems like nick loves boar
what would you consider a medium razor?
Well I'm happy you can use the 7 o'clocks Nick, I'd get less irritation with a chain saw :'(
Stay strong Mrs S, it will be gone soon !
Nick can you please post where you got this "Alum block if I am even spelling it right, I TOTALLY NEED THIS IN MY LIFE! Ps love your videos
I need recommendations which is the best double side blade sharpest
you look like you should be a character in the great gatsby
LOL!!!!!
I've only been doing this wet shaving thing for a couple of months.....these are only the 4th blades I've tried....not my favorite so far.
Quick question Nick,
Have you ever tried going against the grain at an angle, rather than going directly up?
I have! And my skin can take it, without irritation. Maybe I need to work on my cross grain passes, adding a little "up angle" to it
nick shaves
I'm in the same boat with you on the "directly against the grain" irritation.
I learned that going at an angle seems to work just fine though.
es gracioso ver personas que se pasan la navaja 3-4 veces en una sola afeitada....yo a las penas lo hago una vez, sabiendo que en un par de días ya tendré que hacerlo otra vez.
These actually cost $7.55 for 100. Gillette has dropped its prices for this one. But of course, the shipping charges are outrageous.
How many times I can use this blades
Nicks mustache doe
do you know where i can get d blades?
+Kickingandshaving with Kojak Ebay should have these at a price you can live with. I get most all of my blades through there.
Are you a total idiot, use the internet, you can get just about any blade made !!1
i am from india ...and i use these blades....4 shaves easily they go through....5 blades for 40 rupees
I got 10 blades for 55 INR
You ever shave your head mate?
Gillette's don't work for me , Black , blue and the whole damn rainbow. Wilkinson and persona drag and pull. I go with Astra , Polsilver and Shark The Derby premium are coated and last longer. The Treet Carbon is a great blade and has been around forever.
Nice moustache, you sure your not a cop? !
I got 100 gillette 7 o'clock super platinum double edge safety razor blades of 7.05 US Dollars from a store near my home. Online products are too expensive.
charles, That was a bargain. What region are you in?
@@ivermec-tin666
I live in India🇮🇳
I didn't bargain🙄
I just asked the shopkeeper that, "what's the price🤔of these Gillette 7 o'clock super platinum double edge safety razor blades"?
He replied, "100 blades are for 7.05 US dollar".
@@charlessamuel8243 Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you haggled. In the USA, we don't even know how to haggle. When an item is priced aggressively (lower than typical or usual in the big shops) we would call that bargain pricing. It just means a good value for the money.
It makes sense that these should be less expensive in India. The supply lines should be shorter (fewer middle men), less shipping and distribution costs. At that price they are cheaper than Astra SP's.
Gillette India has overtaken Wilkinson India. So there is only one Company left, that dominates 90-95 % of the global shaving blade market. Sad story. More competition please.
My favourite blade smooth not super sharp
bro what the hell! I've been requesting the dorco red blade for month and nothing >:(
lol that stache
That mustache is not you
Anyone else expected a goofy ass razor with seven blades?
blade ko zang laga hota ha fudu blades
I think the lab blues are garbage imo. The writing on the lab blues as well is quite off putting its smeared and alot of times just like two letters. So for an extra 2 dollars would i pay to have my blades double wrapped and clear lettering that looks professional yes all day everday. 2 extra dollars over a hundred blades is nothing
In my experience, the Labs suck. My one hundred pack is 90% duds, it seems. They're not smooth at all. Rough and irritating, like a blade that's way too dull. They don't shave closely either. I've used Feathers, so I know how close a sharp blade shaves, and the Labs are nothing like Feathers. Labs are garbage.
That moustache is awful! get rid of it Please
