Greetings
The man from Norfolk with the seller name of Richardg2202 on e-bay I would first like to point out is not me. I sent him an e-mail a couple of weeks ago asking him for more details on the GEM Blue Star blades with the knowledge that what he was selling could not possibly be Gem Blue Star Blades, he sent me a long rambling reply saying that he was sure they were.
He claims to be selling loose Blue Stars from a bulk 100 box/tray, GEM do not and have never made Blue Star blades in a bulk 100 tray, they are only made and packed in packets of five with shelling paper on each blade and in plastic dispensers of 10 in each case the blades are on a cardboard backing for hanging on a shop display , they are packed in an outer brown cardboard box containing 120 blades. What these blades are are Personna / GEM 3 faceted carbon steel blades, they are not made for shaving and are awful to shave with.
There is no supplier in Great Britain selling any shaving quality carbon SE blades, these have to be obtained from the USA either via e bay or Amazon or a personal contact.
This seller is also selling PAL blued carbon blades from a 100 tray, exactly the same applies with these blades, the blades in the bulk trays are not the same blades as the ones in the packets of five and plastic dispensers of ten, the bottom line with all ASR/Personna/GEM carbon shaving blades are that to be shaving blades they have to be marked Super!
