Lion Super Stainless Blades

[matt711]

Any of you guys ever try a Lion Super Stainless DE Blade? I get these from the local market in Baghdad, well I send one of my Iraqi Interpreters to get them..

They are made in Turkey by: Azmusebat Cakmak, the box says their manufacturing facility is ISO 9001:2008 certified. The box also says the blades are "chromium ceramic coated"

These things are so inexpensive that It doesn't matter that they only seem to be good for one shave. I pay $5.00 for a box of 100 blades. Anyway, just wondering if others have tried them. They seem to be the only DE blade available here at the moment.

It sound like it's made by the same company that makes Derbys and, based on a reliable vendor's delvings, Blue Bird razor blades.

BTW, do they look like this?

They come in a blue and white package, a lion is standing on it's back legs on each end of the word lion. I can't seem to find my card reader so I can't post a pic right now. I will see what I can do in the morning.

Those blades are only distributed in South Africa. I got that info directly from the manufacturer.

At this price, even if they dull soon it is a real bargain.
You are welcome to bring one pack to me when you come back...

I plan to bring back a couple of boxes....

In any event, $5 ins't much for 100 blades.

You could bring back a few cases of them, sell them for $10.00 per box of 100 blades, make a tidy profit, and still be giving us a good deal.

That will just about cover shipping costs.
