I tried one of these just now and they are good blades, No nicks or razor burn.
Anyone else have experience with these and if so what are your thoughts on them?

They are my go to modern blades.
To me, they hit the sweet spot between sharp and smooth. They're near, if not the best overall, blade FWIW.

I agree 100%
GSB and Perma-Sharp Super are my favourite blades out of the 40+ I’ve tried. I have others I like but none come close to these two. They both provide me with the smoothest and closest shaves of any blades and never have to worry about any weepers or irritation.
They are great blades. The glue spots drive me crazy, though.
I was comparing it with Gillette Platinum of similar packaging. I found GSB a lot smoother in comparison. I do prefer the Platinums though because I'm a blade feel kinda person.

Gsb is great. They are my go to blade in addition to many others 
They are my grail blades
I have been using GSB in a Gillette Big Fellow daily for about the past 3 weeks - I have been getting 4 smooth shaves per blade with high sharpness for the first 3 days and a bit of a drop off on day 4. For the prior month, I was using Gillette Bleue Extras which I find are even better than GSB's but they are unobtanium now. I just swapped the GSB out to try a Volkshod with the Big Fellow tomorrow just to see how different they are.
One of my favorites. For me they have a nice balance of efficiency, smoothness and longevity
GSB is a well-known favorite of many. It's the gold standard by which I judge all other blades in a razor. Glad you found it!
Same here. The next best for me is Astra SS. Then Silver Star.
And, ha! tomorrow I may have another that is a nearly equal blade. It is the only reason I try any other blade. After one has done DE shaving for a while, you have to look for "new surprise finds" when it comes to blades.
A very good blade but I have not tried a Gillette Platinum which may be on par.

And have extra space for all the New surprise finds lol
Great choice! GSBs are ‘top-tier’ for me: sharp, comfortable, smooth and long-lasting!!

...but this one IS cracked.
They are one of my favourite blades, the first shave is a bit rough, but as I can get 12 shaves from one blade that gives 11 good shaves though I still prefer BIC and Personna platinum
They don't work for me. No idea why, but my face doesn't like them. Most people do.
