Has any one ever used these. They come double wrapped and the blade is stamped with the name.
Got 10 free....

If you have used them what do you think?
 
The key here would be the country of manuf. somewhere on the packaging. If it says S. Korea or Vietnam then they are run of the mill "one & done" Dorco blades.
 
I've not used them but I think @Palmolive fox has.

AKAIK they are made in India by the factory who make SuperMax blades, and I've liked all the blades of theirs I have used. Supermax blades might not perform as well as Gillette PPI blades, but I prefer them to Derby, Dorco, Lord blades I have tried.
 
I have used the Dollar platinum blades, after been gifted a 10 pack of them from a work mate, .My personally view of them is they arn't the sharpest of DE blades, but are forgiving, i used them for 2 shaves max then binned them. I wouldn't recommend them as you can get much better balanced and functional smooth indian made blades for the same price if you shop around. The Indian made Wilkinson Sword Saloon pack is one that comes to mind. Superb DE blades...Hope this helps.

I'm in agreement about the Indian GWS's. They seem to go under the radar but I think they are really good, smooth, forgiving blades and I'd rather use them than some other blades that seem to get a lot more praise, eg Israeli Personnas
