Great score! I think that's the cheapest I've ever heard of anyone paying for King C Blades by far!
The latest 200.
See that Gillette pack with the crown on it?
Use it!
I’ve been meaning to try these. I keep seeing them mentioned.
My latest acquisition was 20 King C. Gillette blades off eBay. I got them for way, way less than retail which on Amazon is $6 for 10 blades. Part of that price is the ridiculous packaging. Look at this silliness.
Two tucks held at an angle in a bespoke little box. Once you get past the crazy packaging, you are left with a fine blade indeed. Very smooth and sharp.

Opened up an order from YourShaving today and it had a free pack of The Gentlemen's Super Platinum Max included. No idea what to expect with these!
Don't have pics since I'm at work, but just took delivery of four 5 packs of vintage NOS Schick plus platinum and one 15 pack and four 5 packs of vintage NOS Gillette spoilers.
Interested in trying these famous blades.

Some Gillette thins
Did you try one?
Do you shave with these or just a collectible?Some Gillette thins
I had a blade spectacular on Thursday.
100 Gillette Platinum and a sampler from TryABlade.
I want to try them but too scared they might have rust/tetanus..even thought they seem to be sharp/no rust on them.
I'll wait for my docs confirmation that my shots are up to date and then use barbicide & alcohol to sanitize them and eventually use them.
Shark Stainless are very smooth blades. They did not last the longest but I got them so cheap. I never tried Lord Platinum blades, it would great to hear what you think of them. Disclaimer my blade opinions are mine, your results may vary.
They work very well for 4 good shaves each and at 7 cents a blade on Amazon they are a bargain. I find Lord Platinum blades very comfortable and they are getting some recognition among many shavers as a better bargain blade than the Astra SP. Of course YMMV.
