Artist Club blades a bit dated stored badly, throw them away?

[Pinto90]

I have various Injector razor blades including Kai Mild Protouch,Dorco and various others now dated, I believe they were sent to me by my colleague in mid or late 2019 anyway a bit before the outbreak of the coronavirus epidemic.
I have many blades also for double edge that I use frequently and more often so these I had set aside a little bit, I use them less.
Probably the lot was not stored properly, not at the best let's say as well they were in the clear bags, some when I opened them visually had specks of rust and I immediately trashed them.

I didn't notice any signs of rust on any of my Kai Mild Protouch blades with protection so I think I'll use them..

The other blades some showed some rust, others did not seem to show it.

In the meantime I am going to change the foil and the clear bag that contained them because I noticed that it had some small holes in it.

Would it be okay here as well?

No dice. Perhaps the sellers think nobody in Europe is going to want them and they aren't providing shipping options for here. Thanks for the advice though. I will try again sometimes and maybe eventually get lucky. I just saw this in the sellers ad: "Due to the pandemic and the conflict in...

I thought these blades came with a coating to help protect against rust. Maybe a stropping would help them? In any case if they were disinfected you could give one a try before tossing them.

If you should decide to give stropping a try, don’t strop them while inserted into any of the Feather AC razors. They will scratch the strop.

You could give palm stropping a try though. It is perfectly safe, if done right.


To answer your question, I would just shave with them and see how they perform
You will note on the first pass whether they are still useable.


Caveat: I use Feather AC Professional and Super blades only and will not use any of the Guard blades, as I don’t see the point of stringing a wire in front of the edge.
