Interesting, looks like they are the name behind Lord, amongst others...
EDIT: Hang on. There seem to be two Lord brands - both seperate. What are the chances eh?

One of my 250 Polsilvers boxes contained a Zaza plastic dispenser, I was struck :icon_eek:

I received the ZAZA blades yesterday and tried one this morning. They seem to be more like a Lord or Asco, an ok blade,but nothing like a yellow or feather.

ZAZA a GOGO, nah !!! It seems to be a NO!NO! ????? Second day shave with a ZAZA, in the Progress set on 2. OUCH, pulled like mad !!!! New blade for second pass across not quite as bad. I gave up on the third pass and popped it in the tech, much better in there, but a lot less to shave off. I'll try it again tomorrow.

Ah. Be interested to see what you think after tomorrow, but I'm probably going to stay with my Astras / Supermax BDs...
The tech does mask a poor blade's flaws pretty well. Not the best razor for testing a blade, but can make a duff batch still usable!

I unearthed one of these from the 'Joke Pack' I won from NTS. After reading a few reviews i was slightly nervous about putting blade to face. However I had one of my best shaves ! No touch ups and it was super smooth. Interesting to see how it performs on the next shave.
as ever it just goes to show YMMV.
Happy shaving

I've revisited this blade several times now. They seem a bit hit hit or miss, I've had a good shave out of them, so not a total loss.

My bit of experience from this is don't read reviews before trying a 'new' blade. Just unwrap, pop it in and slice away!

I get what you mean, but that's the problem with a review, it's all in the eye of the beholder. I feel the main problem with this blade though is that the quality control in my opinion lets it down. I've had a few good blades, but not all have been equal.

The second shave experience was noticeably less sparkling that the first! Quite tuggy and quite a few very small nicks, along with significant heat from the ASB (Profs).
This does seem to mirror some of the reviews I've read. Just glad a got one cracking shave.
The search for 'the one' blade to rule them all continues......
