Was posting with @RussellR5555 , think we found they were made in Kilbride Scotland, about 50's/ 60's?. Not sure though.

Thanks tom I had a great shave from this setupLovely uncomplicated but classy setup @AnthH.
Can @TomG shed any more light on these.I think you are right - made in East Kilbride - west central Scotland - there is an interesting back story to the plant - long defunct - the blades are probably late 60's or early 70's - I have blades from the same factory - but the packaging is completely different - you should speak to @TomG - an expert on this topic - I.
