Blade identification

I was wondering could anyone identify what these blades would be in the English version like from Canada or the united states there date coded from 1969

The equivalent may be:

UK Silver Gillette
$1964 (J2) 2 Silver Gillette Stainless Blades.jpg

or

US Stainless
$1965 (K1) Dispenser 2 Stainless Steel Blades.jpg

But I'm not positive as I've never come across your French Stainless blades.

Interesting find. Have you tried them, and if so how did they shave?

Yes the blades look similar to those so Your probably right and I have tryed them and they work surprising excellent probably the best blades I've used very smooth and last a long time like eight shaves would that analysis be similar to the us stainless and the uk silver also can you buy the others still

Where did you buy them? I'd love to give them a try. I'm a big fan of vintage blades
 
I got them off eBay the only two hundred boxes the seller had,you say your a fan of vintage blades How are the gillette thins ? I picked up a few but haven't got around to trying them there from nineteen fifty seven so there carbon
 
I own a bunch of Thins but strangely I haven't tried them yet. The vintage US made Gillette blades that I use regularly are Spoilers (Super Stainless) and Platinum Plus. My favorite UK made Gillette blades are Super Silver and Platinum. French Gillette Bleue Extra blades are another great blade that I enjoy shaving with.
 
Ah I see I mostly use orignal blue blades with gillettes face on them most people think there to tuggy I agree they tug a lot but only on the first pass then they give a irritation free shave these are the first vintage stainless I've used and to me seem to last about double the amount of modern stainless and are much nicer
