There is a general consensus that all the blades of a particular type from the Lord stable are the same ...
So, Shark Super Stainless is the same as the Lord Super Stainless is the same as the Big Ben Super Stainless is the same as the ASCO Super Stainless and so one would imagine ... is the same as the Silver Star Super Stainless.
The packaging design isn't the same, but it looks as if the design of the packets of 5 is intentionally different to that of the 10 packets; always assuming that the name really does mean the same. I can't see a manufacturer producing two different blades with the same name and description, but who knows what happens in The Land of the Pharaohs?Fairly cheap on eBay , but not sure they are same blade as the colours don't match up ?
...I'm lucky enough to own a Rocnel Elite 2017 LE razor, which was based around a Feather blade and has very tight tolerances. The result is that only a handful of blades will fit it. This has, though, been useful in helping compare some blades across the same manufacturer's range.
In the case of Lord produced blades, Shark Stainless, Shark Chrome and Asco (orange packet) Stainless. Asco Platinum and Lord Super Chrome blades fit.
It won't accept any of the other Lord blades I've tried, nor will it accept a Big Ben.
This would suggest to me that Lord Classic, Sharks, Asco's and Big Ben's are not identical blades, otherwise they would all fit the razor equally.
I suspect that there is more to Lord blades than necessarily meets the eye.
The size difference tells me it's probably moreso due to bad QC than rather to engineered design. Of course, my opinion is worth what you were charged for it.

They are made by the same factory that make Voskhod.I had some called Sharp Star in a Green and Grey box and they were good , but I think they were Russian , not made by Lord , at least that is what I was told at the time.
Thanks Donnie explains why I liked them , I am a fan of the Voskhod and Rapira blades.They are made by the same factory that make Voskhod.
I've ordered some of these in (the Silver Star by Lord), along with some other Lord favourites.
