GSBs are sharper than Platinums and cut closer, quicker. The Platinums feel "old school" like the blades of yore that were just really mellow but also gave a great shave every time, BBS easily if you want it.

When I first started dipping my toe into the shallows of that huge ocean of blade brands, I used Oscroft's comparisons as a guide, and it worked pretty well.įor a while, I was certain Gillette Blacks were the best ever. I'm finding technique is much more important than blade, assuming a good blade-and what is a good blade is certainly debatable, too.
