Cheers for the tag Chris. I've never seen them before, I know absolutely nothing about them.

I came across this picture

@saj1985
Can you open the pack and take a picture of the blade wrapping like the above?

Musing here that it's a Chinese repro: www.reddit.com/r/wicked_edge/comments/bkcba6/anyone_have_any_idea_when_croma_blades_with_this/

The picture that @donnie_arko found refers to GDR, so pre-1990. Croma blades are still made, so perhaps the factory are exporting to the east? I seem to be able to find these on Thai & Viet shopping sites.

Inside the factory making billions of razor blades

There are only a few factories worldwide that can manufacture razor blades. WIRED visits a 95-year-old razor manufacturer in Eisfeld, Germany

Although it says made in Germany I think I saw them on Alibaba sure with china as country of origin I think

I think I found the same page and puzzled on that myself, but if you click the Company Info link below all the pictures it becomes clear that the Chinese company is an importer. These are made in Germany ... and the factory is very much in production. Curious they appear to send all this stock east.

Here's some pics @pjgh @donnie_arko @Boycie83

Exactly the same on both sides and no numbers on the each side of the blade as in 1/2 & 3/4 like you see on some blades
