Just received a beautiful, but unusable box of French Leresche double edge blade. A real shame the elements got to these blades, the original wrapping was first class. No wax dots needed, the nicely printed inner wrapper is waxed paper ...

Beautiful packaging, lovely colour scheme. The condition of the blades is a tragedy.
Love the graphics!! 
Looks nice, but I would still try one or two.
That’s super cool.
Nice pics. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful packaging. The bevel appears to be different and slightly variable or is that just the paper wave underneath? Hand ground?
Wow! Nothing comes close these days.

I have no idea if it was hand ground, but probably entirely machine made. The bevel is steep.

Big L.... I just can't deal with lockjaw !!
Gorgeous packaging. Thank you for sharing!
In all lighthearted honesty, I've been an automotive technician/mechanic for almost 20 years. It is a job that can tear up your body. I am way beyond the point of concern that I might nick myself with a rusty blade.
Yes, I would try one, but if it was dull or tuggy I wouldn't continue to use it.

Very cool find
The packaging is awesome, very nice colors.
It's a real shame the condition of the blades are not in the same shape.

Beautiful, keep them as they are. As someone who uses vintage blades exclusively, including carbons, I can tell you with great certainty that you won't get a good shave from one of those. Getting old carbon blades that are still fit for giving a good shave is a low odds game and from what I see those don't qualify. But they more than qualify for a great display.
