I mean, that is their premium product. Gillete platinum is actually one of the best brands i tested when I bought a 25 brand pack. And gillete platinum while expensive is not that expensive. At 20-30 cents per blade. While astra platinum is 9 cents per blade. But not near enough their king product that is around 70 cents per blade.

Nicks actually went way down after I stopped using the Gillette blades that came with the King C. Although it could just be me getting better. I do plan on trying some other blades though.
