Blue Carbon SE Blade

Just a quick one has anyone tried these blue carbon SE blades? Sorry for the poor photo its from my phone the blade is blue and the top of the blade has stamped PAL on it, The reason I ask is a friend in the states sent me a bunch over and I really like them and wondered if we can get these over here or do I have to get them imported (well buy them when we go over?)

Actually many websites today dont sell them just because they rust much easier which was always a problem before stainless steel was used in shaving razors...Though...try em if you want em!..I hear they are a sharper than stainless steel and hold a sharper edge <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.emsdiasum.com/microscopy/products/preparation/blades.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.emsdiasum.com/microscopy/pro ... lades.aspx</a><!-- m -->
I use this site when I need more SE stainless blades..my wife loves em!.though I havn't tried the SE ones yet..you should try to email/call them on shipping prices as they sell them in bulk which is a good thing..and they are scientific grade quality as apposed to what you would get in the stores :mrgreen:

Thanks have used these guys before but wondered if there was a UK supplier, I have around 15 left but they seem to last as long as any other blade I get around 5 shaves from one, No sign of rust though???
 
I think the "rust" with carbon steel issues were probably if the blades are kept in a moist environment..I'm not certain though..just an idea

Look at this article and discussion which should give you a good idea about rust even on DE blades
