Gilere razor blades

[IronHammer]

Has anybody tried Gilere brand blades? I realize that these are obviously a Chinese knock-off brand but what makes me deeply curious about them is they offer a carbon steel PTFE coated version of their blade. I would dearly love to find one to see if it's comparable with Gillette's PTFE coated Blue Blade from the 70's.

I seem to remember we had at least one B&B member living in China...

I took one for the team & recently got some Gilere blades in Laos. Awful. Felt like I might pull the hairs out by the roots rather than cut them off. Tried Feather blades after giving up - like a dream in comparison.
