Unbranded (plain) "Astra Superior" blades: Shave with them?

[oneninetyseven]

I recently bought a "comb razor" (essentially a plastic two sided comb with two DE blades inside of it for trimming hair to different lengths) on eBay. (Gotta say, I gave myself a not-too-bad looking haircut with it.)

It came with some extra blades. The outside paper wrapping states "ASTRA SUPERIOR"; the font used looks like that used on other Astra blades. Only thing is, the blades themselves are plain, unmarked metal.

It's not like anything bad would come of shaving with them; really, I'm just curious as to if these blades are Astras, and what sort (steel, platinum, who-knows-what).

Has anyone seen them, and what do you think?

Cheers

Never seen them but the only way to tell if they are decent is to load them and put them to your face

That's what I figured. Just was curious if anyone had seen them before - but if nobody says so in the next day or two, I'm going to try them!

Well, I used it - or rather, did about half a pass with it. Meh. Felt rough and kind of dull to me. Oh well!
