The R in a circle is usually for designating a 'Registered Trademark'. I am not sure about the "Genuine Stainless Blades" phrase as I didn't really notice it.
The crown has special meaning in Thailand - they all love the Kind of Thailand over there. He is a big figure in society and commands respect from the entire nation. While it is not like the English 'By Royal Appointment' seal, it will invoke those feelings in the Thai people.
I really believe that these are a completely new branding that RunWei (or customer) has devised for the Thai market, based on a colour change of the Chinese Super Blue packaging. They can sell these blades into Thailand cheaply which fills the hole in the market now that Gillette does not distribute the Superthin double-edge blades there any longer.
The big issue is the cardboard has cracked and is peeling back from the corners of the box. They are also not glued well, nor square. All the same issues found with the Fakeidiums about 4 years ago, and also the FakeRubies which I disclosed to the wetshaving community approximately 3 years ago. This suggests that the origin of these blades is exactly the same and therefore they are fakes.
I was able to try some genuine Chinese Super Blue blades which did not exhibit the issues in packaging. They shaved acceptably but nothing special.
