gold tone blades

Hey everyone, new to the forum. So I was on the ebay and bought an 80 count display pack of of Gold Tone blades. probably from 40s or 50s. Purely out of curiousity. they looked cool to frame or whatever. anyone tryed to shave with them? Carbon steel? have a variety of razors from single ring to 30s new style to 50s and 60s techs and super speeds to 60s fatboy. any info on which razor would be best for these blades would be welcome. Recently I got some Treet black Beautys, carbon steel, and they make for an impressively mild but close shave. Just wondering if the gold tones will be similar. Any info would be great.
 
Hello and welcome!

I'm not a vintage blade collector/user, but I have a few vintage blades. From my understanding, there used to be hundreds of blade brands back then.

The few really old blades I tried were not good. I hope they were better when they were new and the edge has degraded over time. There are some "newer" vintage blades that are really good though.
