The whole setup continues to amaze me by how convoluted and non-specific-on-purpose it is. The offensive weapons 2019 act seems to introduce two categories of bladed things, "bladed articles" and "bladed products"; the second being a subset of the first, with more restrictions on shipping.

It is not clear to me where DE/SE razor blades would fall; the govt basically says "use your judgement, the final arbiter will be the courts when someone will challenge this".
And _of course_, to muddy the waters further, Royal Mail uses the language of "bladed items" which is not referred to in the law guidance linked above.
