So, after I found that Gillette changed significantly the 7 O'clock Sharpedge I decided to compare all of the PPI blades very old double wrapped stock vs. the new blades that say ©2017 on the packs.
Here are the blades I compared. Astra Superior Platinum. The pack on the left has been bought in 2010. The right pack is 05/18 laser etched. Note that in 2020 Gillette went back to black paint on the blade on this model.
Comparison has been done as usual. 2 consecutive days using a brand new blade in the same razor with the same brush and cream. I even used the same aftershave to compare post shave feeling objectively.
The blades are absolutely the same. Same feeling during shave and after that. Same closeness of shave right after the shave and in the evening. So nothing changed here.
