Would you or any of our knowledgeable
Members know if it's possible to get some
Of these blades today, and if so , where
They can be purchased (Gillette Bleue Extra)
You're absolutely right and I am 100%They are long gone. Check Ebay, but prices are astronomic usually. I have used them and other old NOS blades, but IMO some of today's Gillette blades are just as good and far cheaper when inflation is factored in.
These, bleue extra, BTW, are the closest to the fabled swede. I had some Swedes and couldn't tell the difference.I also bought hundreds of these. Best blades I've ever used.
I have just under 100 of these wonderful blades and they are one of the best blades I've been lucky enough to use.I also bought hundreds of these. Best blades I've ever used.
Someone sent me a couple in the early days of the forum. An epiphany! I pulled the trigger on about 400+. I'm 57 now, hundreds of SB's and Thins. They will see me out, lol. It was money well spent.I have just under 100 of these wonderful blades and they are one of the best blades I've been lucky enough to use.P.
Sorry to burst your bubble, the ones I have are the pre-2000 variety. Out of production. They came in boxes of 100. I've tried both. The vintage ones are compatible with Swedes. The newer ones were good, but not nearly as fine. The older ones come in a plastic tuck where the used blades can be stored.I found it here also, but unfortunately they only deliver to metropolitan France and Corsica.

The vintage wikies! I remember trawling round independant pharmacies. A shaving Indiana Jones lol. Got a few. Sublime! Sadly gone. Swedes, vintage Willie's and pre 200 Gillette Bleue Extra have been the finest. I've tried an awful lot of blades.I have some of the old GSB's and Platinums, those along with vintage Wilkies are in my opinion the best blades I have and fortunately I have a few of each stored away
