New blades with rust

Messages

I ordered some new Wilkinson Sword blades on eBay. They've arrived with a slightly open plastic and rust through the wrapping. (The seller is replacing them)
As far as I can see the blade edges are ok, the rust is nowhere near the edge. Would you use them? Can the rust be removed?
 
Are they modern production or vintage? I bought a few packs of NOS made in England Wilkies a while ago and they turned up with some rusty inside the packets.

Personally, I'd bin them.
 
Modern I hope. Ones in the black plastic dispenser.

I find them to be quite tuggy normally so wouldn't hold out much hope if the edge has degraded :eek: ... There may be no damage to the naked eye but there could be microscopic deterioration, seriously for the sake of saving £2 worth of blades its not worth risking a ton of irritation on your face.
 
I bought a pack of WS blades new, in wrapper from a local chemist which were tarnished upon opening. Crap blades imho. One of the few i wont use or buy again.
