Gabriella Blades

[Four for Luck]

I picked up a tuck of Gabriella blades at a local market today.
Looking to do a blade exchange soon. I wanted to see if I could find additional blades to trade. These aren’t listed on the exchange thread.
I googled them. NOT A SINGLE hit. That must be telling. Anybody know anything about them?
Wrapper is black with picture of a blade, Gabriella Super Quality printed on blade. Red triangle in corner with NEW St 302. Backside of wrapper Konex Corp, Made in China.

No I’ve never heard of those blades.
A new brand perhaps?

New to me!

The question is, ‘Are these repackaged ‘store‘ brand blades (most likely) or a different manufacturer?’

New to me too. After digging around a bit, looks like they may be part of the Gabriella hair-care/shaper line-up.

Never heard of them. Probably for the best, I'd just be tempted to buy some. Have way too many as it is I know, I know--no such thing as 'too many' 'round these parts.

From digging around the net it seems these may be a Dorco blade aimed at the Latino market.
Purchased at Latino grocery( forgot to buy limes), in Dorco thread they are talking about ST 300-301. These say ST 302 NEW.
As my wife likes to say- “just saying.”
I’ll try one, see how it shaves.

Makes sense! Let us know how they perform (PLEASE)!

So, I tried a Gabriella.
I used my regular routine- shower, use hottest water on may face that I can handle, apply “home made” AoS unscented preshave oil, lather with ToBS Jermyn St.cream.
My razor I used, as for the last six years,is a Gillette pre-war Tech.
The Gabriella blades are wrapped in a paper wrapper, 50#?, and a waxed paper inner liner.
I did one side of my face. When I started wet shaving again in 2015 I tried 20+ blades. This one, the Gabriella, was the worst of all of them. It irritated, seemed to have a hard time cutting MY beard, was very uncomfortable.
I switched to an older Polsilver and had a good shave.
As always ymmv. I will donate the remaining four blades to the exchange for anyone wishing to try them.

I hope to get blade exchange done quickly.
Then I invite others to try them. Hope they work better for others, probably will. If not, I pity those who purchase them at the store.
