Bumping this as I finally got around to trying some I got in a lot. Definitely not as sharp as some sharp modern blades but a solid upper middle tier blade (modern 7 O’Clock yellow scale). Fairly smooth if I go slower and forgiving. Not my personal preference in sharpness but definitely good for a lot of people. Probably would have been good for me prior to hitting 35 years old.I have some and like them, they seem to provide a good life for me.
I assumed they are coated, hence the "should not wipe" warning.
Not as sharp as some but a great serviceable and durable blade.
Made in England.
Congrats on the find, enjoy!

Well, yesterday I stumbled on an open slider pack, that came with a razor, I received a long time ago. I had...www.badgerandblade.com
