Gillette Minora

I received a package of Gillette Minora blades today after being out for some time. I liked them when I initialy started using them, and I have to say I was very impressed again. It makes me wonder why they have gotten no love on this forum. Has anyone else used them, and if so, what were your thoughts?

Do you know where are they made?Russia,China or India?
Never heard of them...

Made in Russia at there St Petersburg Plant. Every time I've used them I've gotten great shaves. They have a very cool packaging as well. I gave one to my dad who is a seasoned wet shaver a while back and he got great shaves as well. He also raved about their durability telling me he was still getting great shaves after the fifth time.

Yes, Minora is one of the brand names still produced by P&G in St. Petersburg.

I am going to have to try them.

Could you post some images?

Never heard of them and I certainly am not finding much online. The only vendor I see with them is WCS at $55 for 100. Wow... I think I am sticking with what I already use.

maybe get a bunch of people to go in on it for 5 or 10 of the 100. i'd be up for that.

   

Another blade to add to my list of blades to try, thanks.

Wow, bubblegum blades.

When searching images I noticed that these blades have been around a long time. I'm not sure if they have recently been brought back after being discontinued or not but there were some pretty old vintage pictures of them.

They look good enough to eat after the shave.

I know it's the wrong spelling but the first thing that came to mind was the Menorah.
