Will sell you some if you want :lol:

I really like these blades, I received some from Sunbury and also from Antdad so I had a few packs to try. First few uses were OK, so I stashed them and came back to them later and have grown quite attached to them. I don't think Swedes are super special blades, damm good, but not worth the price many are asking for them. These are just a tad duller than a Swede, I sometimes found a Swede a bit like a Feather in that first shave could leave me a little raw but I find these are smooth from the first use.

All the ones I have say made in Sweden, I have not tried the other kind but I got a pack from Rareup and they had the same ones I have. I think they may be the next Swede and if not they are decent blades at not a bad price. You could do a lot worse than pick up a few packs of these while they are still in plentiful supply and cheap.

Good review well overdue RB73, thanks for doing that.

used the same blade in the same razor today perfect shave i like these :shave :shave :mrgreen:
 
Ive been picking up blades for a few weeks now off eVilbay and these NOS circa 1990/2000 ish blades are amongst the pile I have to try. Up untill my return to DE shaving I have only used Wilkinson Sword blades and am amazed at the difference between blades.

I have loaded up my new Ikon with a 7 o'clock (yellow) for now, but will try the Bleu next up - if its OK I might stockpile some as they are appearing quite cheaply on the bay at the moment.

I also have some older ones (Thins) in black / red packaging to try too amongst the Gillette pile I have.
