With some DEs that I've bought, there usually has been included in the package one or two vintage blades from various manufacturers such as Craftsman, Gillette Blue, Thin Gillette, Burma Shave, etc.
I'm not a blade collector so they don't have any real value to me, so I was wondering if it was o.k. to use these old blades. They appear to be NOS and still in their wrapper. Are they comparable to the Merkurs, Feathers, Personnas and other modern blades? Does anyone else shave with these vintage blades and if so, how do they perform?
