I've recently acquired an Ever Ready razor and was generously PIFd some single edge blades for it.
These blades will run out fairly soon and was wondering about replacements.
This may well be a silly question but I'm man enough to ask it and happy to waste your time reading it A popular auction website has a decent enough range of single edge blades on offer, but aside from the ASR and Derby products there are a lot of no name single edge blades on offer which are advertised for cleaning, scraping, etc. and arts and crafts uses.
Can anyone say whether blades marked out in this way are suitable for shaving? I was concerned they might be overly rough or something (I guess I could just strop them). Is there any other reason(s) while they might be unsuitable for shaving or are they marked out as in this way simply because they're not commonly used for shaving these days and the blurb is just reflecting their most common usage?
