Very curious. Current production?
Date Code? And patents would be helpful.
I just checked Achim's site and he does not show that particular package, so I could only guess as to the date of manufacture (and I'd be wrong). Sometime after 1963. But if they are stainless steel I would guess they would shave much the same as the Gillette Super Stainless, which is to say, pretty good.

Those are one of the earliest packaging formats for Gillette Stainless. They are probably from between 1962 and 1966. They will shave fine. I have tried very early Gillette, Personna (UK made for USA), and Schick (made in Sweden for USA). All shaved fine.

I'll take a pack. Might be fun to do a write up comparing these to the super stainless.
Nice offer.
I have/had a travel tech razor with a package similar to that, but it only contained 1 blade.
Ill take a pack =)
I like them.
Guess I missed this offer. If you have any extra...please let me know.
How did these blades work for you all?

My pack arrived today. Will use them soon. Thank you Maher, that was very gracious of you.
i shaved with mine today
seemed smoother than a red pack to me, and more comfortable than a feather.
still not up to snuff with the gem though

Coincidentally, I shaved with one this AM, and compared it to the Gillette Super Stainless (The Spoiler). Verdict: They shave exactly the same. Excellent, in other words. Not surprising, since they have to be the same blade, although the markings are different.
Maher, I hope you were able to secure a bunch of these, because this is an excellent blade; far better than the Swede in my opinion.
Oh, and your blades are on the way.
