After reading some very positive reviews on the Czech Tiger Platinum, I took a chance and ordered 100 on Amazon. They were very inexpensive at just under ten cents per blade, so I had little to lose. I typically shave with a blade twice, except for Wizamet/Polsilver which give me three shaves. Well, after trying a tuck of the Tiger Platinum blades, they get an enthusiastic thumbs up from me. IMHO they are better than some of my favorites (Israeli Reds, Nacet, Astra, Voskhod). For me, the Wizamet/Polsilver is still better.
Well, I read about the same manufacturer's Tatra blades and ordered those as well (same price as the Tigers). Once again, I was pleasantly surprised. Those blades performed even better than the Tigers! This is good news for our community, since there is a new source of pretty good blades at a
reasonable price, from a reliable source.
There has been some recent concerns about the quality of the Israeli Reds and Astras going downhill, so a new replacement for them is a good thing.
I suspect that more of the wet shaving vendors may be carrying these Czech blades in the future. I look forward to opinions from others on DFS who have tried these brands of blades.
