Did he drive a yellow Reliant Robin?,.....I bought 50 Astra SP blades from a well know supplier recently and there are no markings on the actual blades themselves. Just plain blades. Is this usual? The only reason I ask is that I have just had my first poor shave using an Astra. Cheers chaps.
Well said, excellent info & reviews link.If I were to going into business producing fake DE blades I would be churning out thousands of Feathers and Kai's... Not Astras

It seems they have changed, and not for the better.
Yes cheers PF. I will try a compare and contrast.I don't think they would go to the effort of counterfeiting them when they're already pretty cheap. Maybe the ones with no writing are for the domestic markets in Russia, and the ones with writing on are for international markets... just a thought,try using a blade from a older puck if you have one,..and see if the shaving performance is the same as the ones with no writing on.
All my Astra SP's have writing on, but that doesn't mean they arn't fakes.How would we know?..Everything mass produced these days ,the real thing and fakes.Regards.
Very interesting Rohleder!If I were to going into business producing fake DE blades I would be churning out thousands of Feathers and Kai's... Not Astras
