Dave, this chap managed to slice himself with a Mach 3!!Let us know how they pan out.
I'll also look forward to hearing whether they fit Wardonias and, perhaps more importantly, whether they are any good at all. Depending on your findings, I may speculate on some, but I distrust black blades (even NOS Gillettes).These certainly not looking NOS, just type Tiger Blades to the search box of eBay and there are quite a few, I don't believe these are actually made in the Czech Republic but may be China or India (you can find these on certain Chinese sites).
I took one for team Wardonia and ordered a box of 10 for £1.99, look like there is Tiger and Quick Tiger, I'll try the Quick Tiger first and then move to the Tiger.
Will report back soon as these are shipped from the UK.
I distrust most dark blades too.I'll also look forward to hearing whether they fit Wardonias and, perhaps more importantly, whether they are any good at all. Depending on your findings, I may speculate on some, but I distrust black blades (even NOS Gillettes).
The Chinese blades look like a bad copy of the Czech ones (like a "Lolex" watch).
OTOH, Czech Blades does operate what appears to be an up-to-date website (http://www.czechblades.cz/en/) that makes no mention of the Chinese.
From bits and pieces around the web, it appears that the Tiger blades are manufactured for the African market (primarily Nigeria). Over at TheShavingRoom, one of the members as pretty much determined that the metal used in the blades is not suitable for maintaining a honed edge. This has led to a lot of bewilderment as to how a presumably reputable company (Czech Blades is what is left after Gillette purchased the Stainless Steel blades portion of Astra) could continue to produce and sell such a worthless blade.
