For me the Gilette Nacets are the best blades on the market. I've only encountered 1 Nacet that was uncomfortable to shave with. Personally for any blade I use, I run the edges through the rim of a styrofoam cup on time each before putting it in any razor just to get off any potential burrs or irregularities that may cause discomfort.
Excellent shave Spencer! I find the same thing as you with those blades as far as needing a couple of strokes before they smoothen out. Hope you're having a great week mate. 😊👍
Awesome! Glad it's not just me! Decent blades though! But you are the master of the blade! All my top blades have been recommended/sent by you! So thank you Tony 😁
Hi Spencer- Great shave and razor blade review; thank you! I agree that the second and following uses of a blade can be sharper than the first use. I find this with Kai blades, which I really like quite a bit. I hope you are feeling better quickly- take good care. All the best!
Thanks mate and actually pretty decent! Only pain is no grooves to pick up soap when you spread it through. But some people don't spread the soap in the bowl and this would be good for that 😁👍
Lol. Funny how we can see the YMMV effect again 😂 I have used Nacet blades with my Rex and they are exactly the opposite to what you describe 😬 Incredibly sharp blade and not that smooth. Almost harsh as they are so sharp. Feels a bit like Feather. I prefer much more Polsilver or Gillette Silver Blue and Gillette Platinum because they are not as sharp but smoother. Someone recommended Voskhod as being sharper than Nacet. Not in a million years! Voskhod is dull and very tuggy. But this the YMMV effect 😊
@@Shaverboy516 Voshkod are tuggy for the first pass or so because of that Teflon coating… or whatever it is. However, once you get that first pass out of the way it’s the smoothest blade I have ever used in my life. It can tame the most aggressive razors. I watched a Nickshaves video about this and didn’t think much until I used them. Ymmv of course but it’s worth giving it another shot I think. I just got Nacets in and mine aren’t Russian they’re Arabic or Turkish?
Have had good result with washing the face and lather up before I go and take a shower .The lather and steam will soften the whiskers for a couple of minutes. After the shower I lather up again as normal. Have not tried this method with pre-shave soap!
Nice shave and video. Personally I like the Nacet blades in my Progress and find that after one or two strokes they are great. Guess we are all different and what works for some will be pants for another. Thanks for taking the time for the reviews. Laters
Hey mate. I used the nacet in my 34c and didnt like it. Different story with my Karve on C Plate....its now my go to combo. I find a feather or astra green is the best for me on the 34c. Keep up the good work brother. Cheers
I just bought a hundo - pack 💈😁✌️💈 I’ve been Traditional WetShaving for one year and I JUST finally bought a hundo-pack! - *SECRET* - when you trade with ppl tell them to throw in some blades! 😉
I use nacets in my .95 OC Timesless andit takes down my coarse growth, even several days. But it's quite an aggressive razor. I find the nacets aren't great in the 34C.
Polsilver by the way, seems to hv stopped. Likely replaced by other St. Petersburg brands, maybe even same factory. Cheers fm the Lion City, Singapore+
They don't have to kill the boar but that's also how we get pork chops and bacon so win win I say. Who in the right mind would try to wax an angry boar. 😂🤣
They are good I think but not as good as their hype in my opinion. The voskhods are much better for me. Once you start getting into dome shaving you can really start to see how sharp the blades are. The nacets make for a bloody dome shave.. 😂 but sharp enough for a smooth face shave!
@the Game, Review and Reallife Channel Voshkod has to be my favorite blade I’ve tried in my 7 year shaving career. You have to do a few strokes on each side of the blade and then the Teflon smooth’s itself out and the blade becomes the most comfortable I’ve ever used.
Hmmm from the looks of the blade, it might be fake Spencer. Had a pack with that same packaging and single wrap blades, had them tugging on the facial hair with every stroke.
I tried it in a 34c (did best in this razor, tends to make everything good) and a model t (didn't do well) I reckon fine marvel is my fav so I should give it a go in that. Makes astra SPs super sharp. Not sure what it is about that razor. So darn good

It's not glue, just wax. I love the Nacet (have a large stock). Mostly get them from ebay traders based in Jordan.
I love the Nacet very much. Its my blade of choice in my Merkur 39c Sledgehammer. Its my subjective opinion but as always YMMV.

@@spencerfrankel414 You're a legend mate and way too kind! 👍
I'm agreeing with you on the Bic
Along with the vintage blades, I hope you go to the top ones for sharpness.
Very good review. Some other guys review blades but talk more about the soap or razor they're using.
As for the Nacet, I love them. YMMV as always.
Excellent shave mate 💈👍😎

I really like Kai blades. They're on the list to review too! 😁 Take care Mike!
Love this series and great shave Spence
Thank you Mike! 😁
Awesome shave!! Looking forward to more blade reviews!! Never used the Nacet. Not available here.
Hi brother great vid as per
How did the bowl perform whilst lather up
Great cheap alternative shave bowl
Thanks mate and actually pretty decent! Only pain is no grooves to pick up soap when you spread it through. But some people don't spread the soap in the bowl and this would be good for that 😁👍
@@spencerfrankel414 cool

Turre Tuntematon I agree with you, I had the same experience as you, felt they are very sharp and not too smooth, I’ll stick with Astra.

@@greg6162 yes tried Voskhod blade in Merkur Futur and found it very smooth, and like you said it was smoother after the first pass.

Great shave mate but I still love the feather blades

Nice shave! For me Nacet blades were ok. Then I put one in a Fatboy, and that changed my mind on it, it was great! Have a great weekend.
Nice video Spencer
I find leaving the lather just causes it to dry out, sometimes I rewet it halfway through
I just bought a hundo - pack

Awesome shave brother, I too don’t feel those blades are sharp enough for me! 😕 🤷🏻♂️

I had one of those razors. Very nice shaver. It will probably do well in some more efficient razors 👍
Polsilver by the way, seems to hv stopped. Likely replaced by other St. Petersburg brands, maybe even same factory. Cheers fm the Lion City, Singapore+
I do that technique I leave the lather for 1 min then shave makes my stubble soft
Comparing to Gillette 7 o’clock super Stainless is it smooth irritation free??
For me it definitely is
Spencer Frankel Thanks Man will give a try and how many passes you do generally I do 4-5 and sometime get little irritations not much tho...
Alan
@@alanh8101 2-3 my friend. But I buff a lot. Run over same spot a few times with no irritation
Which one… Yellow, Green or Black?
@@greg6162 green
Nice shave brotha 🤙🤙🐔🐔
Ah, Bic Chrome from a pen manufacturer. Well they do say the pen is mightier than the sword😂😂
They don't have to kill the boar but that's also how we get pork chops and bacon so win win I say. Who in the right mind would try to wax an angry boar. 😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣 I was told they did? But maybe they're a joined bacon factory too! 🤣
Lol 😁!
👍👍👍
Salutations!!!!!!!! Watch your vids sometimes just to hear that!! 😀😀
Thank you!!! 😜😜

1st! 😜🤙🏼
SoCal Shave Only because you held the camera 😜
I wish! 🤣
abe frohman 😂
The blade probably had a mirco Burr that comes off when you finished the first pass.
Perhaps. But I want a comfortable blade from first stroke to last :) I understand why people can get through the "break in period" just not for me 😋
@@spencerfrankel414 strop it on your jeans lol I see what your saying have you tried it in other razors? G'day
