Astra blade packed in a Gillette wrap

[undertherazor]

What the tittle says...

I opened a Gillette 7 o'clock green wrap yesterday only to find an ASTRA blade in it. :huh:

Anyone faced anything like that before ?

I'm guessing they must be made in the same factory then.

I'd say they are if a Russian green Gillette and blue Astra. As the blue astras I have a made in Russia for Gillette uk under licence of Gillette usa

could have been worse, a Jewel in a Feather wrapper!!

... or a Laser in a Feather wrapper!!!

One constant in this strange world... A Derby is alway in a Derby Wrapper!

 

[Canuck]

All Astra are made at St Petersburg Products in Russia, same factory makes Gillette 7 o'clock yellow, dark blue, and green super stainless on the same line so it's not impossible though I'm surprised given the high QC standards in the plant.

Maybe Ivan play joke on decadent westerner, no?

Which helps if you are trying to avoid them.
