Hi all hy is it that we cant buy direct from the plant instead we have to trust that the blades were buying are genuine, ive just bought 100 gsb fae ebay ive opened a pack and the blades wrapped in 1 wrapper with no gillette writing on the wrapoer, yet ive got gsbs which are double wrapped with the outer having gillette writing on it,i dont even know if theyre fake or not

Packaging gets changed from time to time, best way to check if it's pucker or not is to shave with one and see how it feels, what was the sellers feedback like?

I do not know if you could buy direct and if you would need a minimum order....you could always email them and ask....nothing to lose.

I buy from well known stockists like Gemstone traiding and have never had a dud one yet.

If he/she has 100% feedback you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

You can buy from reputable online vendors if you want assurance that you're getting the real thing. Connaught Shaving and Executive Shaving being two that I've always had good service from.
