Can't say I've heard of them either.
Let us know what you think of them if/when you try them
They became the EuroMax Platinum. Made by Vertice, they've a good pedigree and stand well amongst the new wave of sub-continent blades.
I kinda rate them but then I do like a playful tiger! I think I commented that the shave was like a bare-knuckle version of the Gillette Winner. Other folks comment that they're pretty much a copy of SuperMax Blue Diamond Platinum. Sharp and smooth, yes, perhaps a little scratcy on the first run?
It never ceases to amaze me how much you know about blades and how you can tell what they are from feel alone. I can't even decide which I like best! I tend to plump for Nacet, GSB.
Interesting, thanks.Threw one in my ball end tech tonight. Plenty sharp enough, definitely not the smoothest for the first few strokes, scratchy is a fair description. Improved as the shave went on, so I'll give it another go tomorrow and see how it fairs. So far won't be a go to blade but if it's all I had to hand I'd use it and get a decent enough shave. Have some Dorco and Tiger blades to try after this and see how they stack up
Tiger had a bit of a re-launch in the last few years, so there's a Tiger and a Tatra. Both platinum. Same blade. Both made for shaving. But yes, the older Tiger were most certainly NOT for shaving!Interesting, thanks.
Bear in mind the red Tiger blades are not for shaving with. Yellow and silver packs are good for shaving although I've not tried the silver ones..
Re-checking my notes, I thought this to be a two-shave blade. The third shave was substantially inferior to the second.
