How this happened I have no idea. How does a otherwise reasonable and restrained individual on a fleeting moment of insanity buy 395 vintage Gillette stainless, Gillette Super stainless (also known as spoilers), Schlick stainless, Gillette platinum plus, Gillette Super Blues and British Wilkies.
what have I just done? what dark side of RBAD have I just crossed over to? Even though I have had some vintage blades in my possession for many months, I never tried any of them. 395 vintage blades that guys here say some are sharper, smoother and last longer than blades produced today. That's 12 years of shaving for me if I was to solely use these acquired blades! 
Well my order arrived and the blades are well preserved, clean and sharp. Its early days yet, but I just tried a Gillette stainless for the first time and all I have to say is WOW
. If first drive out of the gate is any indication, I am in for a treat. I will post full reviews when I have had the opportunity to get fully acquainted with my vintage blades.
Is this the start of Vintage RBAD?
