Just a single tuck to try out (thrown into a larger order).
For my new venture into DE shaving, I picked up some Wizamet (250), King C Gillette (10) and Kai blades(50).
Hundreds and hundreds of new blades since I posted here. Don't have the time to photograph everything.
Here are the last. I unexpectedly found in a local store Minora Stainless "Win Gold" edition. Made for Algeria only, and on the back it says the whole "3g of Gold" deal is only valid if you are a resident of Algeria. Imagine my surprise when I found at home they are not 5-packs but 10-packs!!!
So, 6.9EUR for a 200 pcs card.
Although I have 300-400 of the regular yellow packaging I couldn't miss a deal like that.

A while ago I saw someone posting on a Facabook shaving group about these blades and I wonder how good are they. Let us know how yo compare them to any other Gillette blades like Nacet or Perma-Sharp.
I have been using them for more than a year.
They are probably on the level of sharpness of Nacet Stainless. A touch sharper than Perma-Sharp. Not very lasting for me. Only 3 shaves with my whiskers.
That's good to know. I rarely push any blade beyond its third use anyway.
Btw, did you find them locally (and where) or online?
Just FYI. I get 4 equally close shaves out of a Nacet Stainless. 5 from Gillette Platinum (both dark blue and light blues). 5 from Polsilver Super Iridium.
The ones I posted above which are with the 'Win gold' packaging I found locally in a brick-and-mortar store in Bulgaria.
The same blades in the regular yellow packaging I got from the RBC and other online stores.
80s English Super Silvers. 
That Gillette logo has been used until 1965. So defnitely not 80s. The letter code on the blades will tell you the year of manufacture exactly.
They are on their way. I am excited to try the Dorco line. Also, this 'OK' blade from Lord and the Lord super chrome, I've never used those either. The description of the ''OK'' is ''great for sensitive skin'', so we'll see how that works

I've never heard of the OK blades, where did you order them from? Looks like a Razor Blades Club order?They are on their way. I am excited to try the Dorco line.

Yeah, from RBC. I was browsing there a few days ago and I noticed those blades appeared. I saw also in the ''Your latest 100 blade acquisition'' thread that someone got a 100 pack of them. They also appear on the official Lord webpage.
Vintage stuff. All 4 for sale in Portugal. The Nacets are 1985 and 1999. The Gillettes don't have codes, but the 3-pack is early 70s, the 5-pack - late 70s to 80s.
How many in those boxes?

...but this one IS cracked.
The Trees and Dorco are new to me but the sharks are an old adversary and bit me good when I first started DE shaving
Went to a neighbour town. Found these. Genuine. Got 4 packs. It's not like I don't have hundreds of them.
