I received a Progress adjustable last year which came with Merkur blades and three packs of various Lords, the Platinum being one of them. Since then, I’ve been purchasing various brands of blade to find “my go-to everyday blade.” So far, the Lord Platinum is the winner....and I’ve sampled some really decent blades on this journey. The funny thing is, I didn’t even know WCS carried these as they don’t show up when I “sort” the page for “DE Blades.” It was by accident that I didn’t sort the product listing and —Lo and behold!...here they are!
Anyway, how are they? First, as other users have said: they are kind of cheap. They aren’t uniformly consistent. Sometimes, the first shave will be absolutely amazing and I’ll have five great shaves with one blade. The next blade might give a sub-mediocre first shave with the second thru fourth shaves being perfect. But what is consistent is I have at least 3 wonderfully close, comfortable shaves with each blade. This is noteworthy in our little eccentric world of double edge “wet shaving.” Since I know WCS carries the Platinums, when I finally sample all the others I’ve ordered, I’ll probably be ordering these in bulk. Thanks West Coast...your service is the best!
