Retro Gillete Thin Blades

A

I am new to wet shaving and managed to get a package of mint condition unopened Gillette Thin Blades with a Gillette DE razor. I have not been able to find any info about these blades. I don't have a basis for comparison to other safety razor blades but the shave I get is usually much better than with a traditional cartridge razor and at a minimum is on par, which I think is mostly due to me being new to DE shaving. Here are some images. Enjoy!

If you are getting good shaves from then I would be willing to gamble that the F datecode is for 1985. The previous F datecode would be 1960 but the style of packaging seems more in line with the 80s.
