Lord Platinum Double Edge Razor Blades (100 Blades)

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!

I bought a 100 pack back in 2013, and now I'm back in 2018! for another 100 pack. These blades work great.

Good

Great value

I bought a few sample packs & tried lots of blades before selecting the Lord Platinum blades. Are they as sharp as Feather - nothing is. Do they give me a better shave - absolutely. I get a very smooth shave every time, with very little to no nicking. Those Feathers were sharp as h*ll, but they left my face bleeding every time. Of course, the choice of blades is quite subjective, as is how you shave. I use a pre-shave (PREP), PRORASO cream applied with a brush, LOTS of hot water, and a vintage Gillette Black Boy set to 6. YMMV, depending on your situation, but if you get your beard really prepped well, you will get a good shave with these. At $0.10/each, I think that they are an overall winner.
