My Dad just gave me some old DE blades. A pack of Gillette Platinums, the plastic box marked Made In England. I'm guessing that he hasn't used DE blades since the mid/late 70's, there are only 2 blades left so I guess this was the last pack brfore he 'upgraded' to the bonded blade system... :shock: The blades are marked 'Gillette Platinum' and with an arrow to show which way to push them out of the pack. There's no paper wrappers around the blades.
Can anyone tell me anything about these? How old are they, are they any good, are they the last two blades of the holy grail of DE blades?
I'm going to give them a go just as soon as I've tried the Ever Ready single edge with the blades JohnnyO kindly sent me.
So many things to try, beard grows soooo slowly!!
