Gillette (Shanghai) Blades Now Available In The UK

I will try & post some photos, but the true test will be your face. When a blade is fake a mere 1/2 in. of travel is damn near unbearable. You will know for sure then & we can do a "post-mortem" pckg. exam if needed. Good luck.
 
Right, On with the shave: London Bridge. (Wilkinson Sword Classic (plastic) razor, Art of Shaving Lavender soap)

As @pjgh noted, there's no great splodges of wax, but there are four tiny (approx 3mm x 1mm) discoloured dots in a regular pattern on the inner wrapper, which I think was holding the blade in place - there's a corresponding pattern on one side of the blade itself. The printing on the outer wrapper is very crisp and everything is cut and folded real nice. If these are fakes, they're very classy fakes. There's what looks like a date code (N4) on the blade, but that would equate to Q4 2018, which seems unlikely.

The blades are not un-smooth, but the first thing you notice is the sharpness. Of blades I've used recently they kind of remind me of Nacets. They're definitely a quality item. I got away with one tiny weeper right on my neck-line; there was very little alum feedback except on my chin (which is the only area of my face to get three passes).

I reckon they're legit, and I reckon anyone who ordered 50 or 100 is going to be happy to have done so. I'm already regretting only getting the two tucks a little...
