Any one know of a source for Gilette 365 blades?

I have 2 from a past sample pack and I am impressed with the shave I am experiencing. May be there is an alternative Gilette blade which is similar or a replacement but no expert here.

Thanks for that.

I am quietly impressed by them which also makes me think if there are any other Gilette blades I should consider?

I'd wholeheartedly recommend Gillette Nacet. Gillette Rubie are good, too. Silver Blue have a similar feel to the Nacet but start off slightly duller and are, reportedly, sharper on their second use.

Of the three, Nacet are my favourite, and perhaps my favourite blade thus far.

Just out of curiosity, are your 365 blades made in India or have they also sourced these to China? A few years back I tried that Indian 365 and at least for me it was awful. Perhaps they are now made in China like the Gillette Wilkinson Sword blades now(?).

Not sure to be honest as they came from a sample pack and there is no indication on either the blade or the wrapping. All I can say is I have just had yet another great shave with one.
 
I had a tuck of "5 + 1" Gillette 365 blades thrown into an order I made recently to try again on a whim and I used one today. I had not used one in years and was not impressed then. Well, today I was impressed!! Razor was my daily driver English "ball end" Tech and soap was the new P&B Right Handed Giant. Now before I get carried away and order 100 of these a thought crossed my mind ( a short jaunt I assure you ;) ) which was just a week or so ago I tried a Wilkinson Sword Economie blade (made in Germany) with another P&B soap, Spitfire, and despite a bad opinion of this very blade from years ago this particular shave was simply without peer!! :cautious: Now I don't think the blades have changed since then, so it is either the soap or something else. My technique is essentially the same. The only real difference is that I am using a salicylic acid face wash in the shower before shaving. Hmmm. I need to try this blade with other soaps to come to a clear conclusion.
