A year or two ago I decided to buy a new Gillette razor and matching pack of DE blades available in UK supermarkets. The intention is to keep them as new so that in a few decades I will have a vintage NOS Gillette razor and blades.

I was wondering if anyone had tried the blades and if they thought they were any good? I know they are platinum coated and made in Russia, so probably one of the product lines we're familiar with.
At £5 for a pack of 10 I hope they are good!
 

It's supposed to be the same blade as the new Gillette Platinum, which has it's fans but it's not my favourite modern platinum Gillette blade.
 
I used to like the standard Gillette Platinum in my Merkur 34C. That and the Indian 7 o’clock Black were all unused for a couple of years till I grew a beard. Just neckline trimming after that.
