DE Razor Blades I Found.
Hello,
Today I found a few packs of DE blades on the shelf of a thrift store. One pack was "4" for 10 cents.
I guess they are vintage, I'm just learning about this DE stuff, so sorry if you find this boring.

Hirlau:
Good finds. Whenever I find old blades, however, even the unopened ones, I never use them. You never know how long they've been sitting around and what condition the edge is in. They could be rusty, too. My Hollywood face is far too good looking for that. What's more, for the most part, I find modern blades far superior to the old buzzards. I suggest using your blades for display.Hirlau likes this.

Thanks Obie, I have a little cigar box that I put them on. I just like finding them. It makes this journey a little more fun.
I got a large sample pack of current blades to use. They will last a long time, cause my first love is straights.

Even if you don't use them they are definitely great for display or collecting, they great graphics remind me of old match books.

Very cool blades. I like to keep them for collecting as well. I used an old Gillette Blue Blade once and it was the last time I used a vintage blade.

It is fun collecting them, and you aren't alone. Go to eBay and search razor blades. It's seemingly a bit of a pass-time for more than a few people lol Originally Posted by Hirlau
