I use vintage blades exclusively, stainless mostly but also some few but carefully chosen carbons as well. So mine are kept in boxes but you guys that collect I'd love to see pics of your displays if you keep them that way.

I found this display case in an antique store some time ago. It needed some fixing, but repairs were easy. I think it was originally for spices or thread. Fits blade packs nicely. This is roughly half my collection. The rest are stored in a tote box.

"Look what I found"
From today’s antique fair, a pack of Gillette blades for a 64-65 Slim Adjustable. Still has the user directions folded inside. Amazing is has survived over 50 years. Found in the bottom of a junk box with the wrapper mostly intact. Will make a nice prop inside the correct slim case
I have a hundred or so of those, use them, and they are friccin great blades.
Hello,
My friend helped his grandpa clean out his storage, and they found approximetly 300, 100-packs of these Perma-Sharp blades. Can anyone tell us the history about these blades? He gave me a tuck of 5 blades to shave with, and they shaved wonderfully.

so 300x100 =30,000? If so wow, might be the most epic blade score in history. If your Grandpa decides to sell them, their would be plenty takers here I'm sure.

Yes, 30000 blades... He is not my grandpa, it's my friends grandpa. Apperantly, grandpa had a car dealership in the 1960's an onward, he took these blades as a partial car payment. DE blades fell out of fashion, and they been sitting in storage ever since.
Oops, forgot to add "friends" in there. You should tell him he's sitting on a gold mine now. Lol.
Anyone seen these blades before?
I can't find any info on the net.
Never heard the name ZACCO before
I think they're quite old, there where 11 of these blades together with an old (1946-1948) English Fat Handle Tech I bought last week.
The photos are of the same blade, different printing on front and back

I wouldn't call myself a collector, but I have some vintage Durex blades as well as Gillette Blue blades. I have some Gillette Super Blue blades somewhere. I haven't used them and sort of don't want to.
If sealed they might be ok to use. Especially the very late versions made in the 80's.
BEAUTIFUL !!!
I recently found three 1920s vintage single edge blades and I'd welcome any help identifying them. All 3 are new, pristine, without blemishes or stains and in their cardboard sheath. One of the 3 is also in the original plain paper wrapper. Photo attached.
I'm dating them to the 1920s because they were in the blade vault of a 1921 Gillette Milady Decollete razor set I recently inherited them - the original owner lived in Texas. Additionally, the blade vault where I found them also held a used Gillette two sided blade fitting the Milady razor with the code 430 - which dates that blade to July, 1924.
Can anyone tell me anything about these blades? Would these be considered blades for a safety razor? Any idea on the manufacturer, or any guesses?
Thanks in advance for any help.
