I bought the same from the bay but 100 of them.Just took delivery of four packs of Astra blades. Just unwrapped a pack now and noticed there is no etching or logos on one side of the blade. I'm sure that this has been brought up before but I have searched and can't find anything. Not sure whether to use them now as a little concerned they may be counterfeit
One on the left is genuine, one on the right is what has been delivered
Edit - seller assures me they are genuine 2016 stock

Thank you for sourcing the info Shaun. I am glad I haven't binned them now.There's a review on Reddit- they are genuine, just different manufacturing process. I hope they shave like the old ones

I shall give them another whirl.
PM incomingAnyone recommend a good seller of 100 packs of these that are deffo genuine?
As a loyal Astra fan, i am sorry to say, that i was horrified when i saw the new batches, without the numbers and the empty backside. It's just...wrong... As soon as i learnt about it, i rushed and bought 200 more blades, to add to my previous stash, so now i have 1200 "old stock" Astras, produced between January and February 2017. I am SO glad i hoarded the "old" blades while i still could. The italian Amazon already sells the new batches.
Why? It's the same blade. Read the thread.
In total, i bought more than enough blades for the rest of my life (5250 blades in 12 brands) and turns out, now i can live with peace of mind, no matter what other blades change or disappear or whatever.
