Gillette Platinum Safety Razor QUICK Review 

I shaved with one of these blades and it was outstanding. I have sensitive skin with coarse hair and I have 5 days Beard growth. Super close and left my face extremely comfortable even more than normal. I used it because I had not tried 1 in 6 years because I have so many others. I'm gonna be picking up a 100 pack soon.

You must have had a dud. I absolutely love Gillette Platinum blades. For me, there are both smooth and sharp. Too bad your experience was different.

I always had decent shaves with the platinum. However the new Platinum's in the almost all blue packaging (formerly known as Swedes) are superior.

Bro, these blades are probably just not for your skin type cause on me they work like Magic.

Hmm interesting. Maybe not a good match to the razor you have or something like that. Af least for me I'd say its very excellent if not my favorite. I also really like the Astra blue just a bit under this one. The only blade I like even more than this Gillette Platinum is the Wilkinson Sword German blade. My least favorite blade is the feather blade.

Perhaps you inadvertently selected a bad blade?
