So I tried out a Nacet this morning only to find out that for me it's like trying to go 9 rounds with a Troybilt Chipper/Shredder and getting my Heine kicked! These things tear me up bad! So now I'm stuck with over 100 of these things (got them as a gift) and nothing to do with them! Yay!
Gillette Nacet...not a fan!

Pretty sure someone local wants them
Not a bad blade in my experience well in my broman that is.

They’ve never worked for me either.
There are almost no universal truths in blade preference. Fascinating, really.

I don't have a funny description.
They are very sharp. Almost too sharp for me.
I didn't like my first shave with an Astra SP. I do now.
Shelve your Nacets and return to them in a year.

I can rock a Feather without a problem. I really enjoy PolSilver and Wizamet (German) as well as KAI. But I swear I saw the edge of the Nacet was ground uneven...if you looked at the blade from the flat side the edge looked like a wave. Maybe it was just my eyes playing tricks on me.

Imagining solutions for imaginary problems
Wow, I've been a fan of Nacet's for a while, it's my go-to blade.
Easy solution: post a listing on the bst or do a pif. Someone will snap them up.

I can't do a listing for another two weeks or more. I've only been on here since the 27th of February. I'd be more than happy to do a trade even. These things just don't work for me haha.
The sharpest blades work best for me in my mildest razors. I use Nacets with my 6S, and I expect they’ll work well with the Karve that’s on its way now from Canada.
You are not alone. My tough beard can bring feathers on their knees by 4th shave and Polsilvers are my everyday blade. I shave 5 days a week. I was hoping alligator slayer Nacets will be giving company to Feathers considering they are (as of recent past) meant for Middle east markets where man have thick bristles.
Nacets, at best felt like leaf racker being dragged across the skin. I tried them on every increment of my Parker adjustable and mild karve plates. Let down was Epic.
Macey...meh
We need an emoticon for YMMV. 
I like Nacets and get good results with them. Nearly as sharp as Feathers with better longevity. The first shave might not be the smoothest but the subsequent shaves get quite smooth.

As I said above I'm a huge fan of Wizamets, PolSilvers, Wilkie's (German), Astra SP...
Maybe that was a bad blade. You might try another just in case. You did say that one looked strange.
I'd say to try a different blade, maybe from a different tuck.
If you don't like them, there are plenty of Nacet fans here who would buy them from you. I know you haven't been a member long enough to create that post, but you could always just stash the leftover blades away for a few weeks.

They are excellent in all of my slants.
