![]() ORIGIN: Current stock is Russian made at PPI St. ![]() OVERALL: Good value blade with a decent longevity for me, certainly worth trying at the price. I found open-comb razors exhibited roughness and neck irritation when loaded with this blade (Gillette NEW especially). Also have had good reports from Redtip users who like this, P&C's very own bought a lifetime supply (5K blades) and he used them in a RedTip at the time. This is compensated for by a complete lack of roughness, so it works nicely in a very neutral fashion. PERSONAL SHAVE SYNOPSIS: Good in most razors I have tried, EJ/Muhle head and the Adjustable Gillettes (Fatboy/Slim) would be the pick, relatively sharp (some say between an Astra SP and a 7OC Yellow) however there is no real smoothness to the blade. ![]() They are of the newer St Petersburg production with two wax spots on the blades. I got 2,000 blades delivered to AU for USD10c/blade back in 2009 - not long afterwards the source dried up Some US-based shops had these such as AOS.Ĭurrently there is a Romanian eBay seller with these and some other blades, but they are more expensive. SOURCE: Originally via a Maltese eBay seller, hence the name 'Malteser'. Someone I know likes to call them Silver Platinums as the word 'Platinum' is printed in Silver ink. Others call them Dark Blue Platinums or Navy Platinums (as in Navy Blue). P&C NICKNAMES: I call them Maltese Platinums (Maltesers)or Dark Platinums. Petersburg, main distribution appears to be Eastern European.
