I was in an antique store the other day and bought a 5 pack of UK Wilkinson Sword blades. These blades were not sealed, but all five were in the white plastic holder with the black cardboard top. I'm including a pic. I'm still on my first blade and I have to say, these things are awesome! I just had my sixth shave in my Merkur Slant, and this blade is not even hinting that it is going to slow down. I may have a dramatic drop in performance after my next shave, but I doubt it. Has anyone else had the same experience with this blade? Do all the UK Wilkinsons have the same smooth longevity, or is it unique to this blade? I know that the UK blades with the white cardboard logo are available, can I expect the same performance from those blades? Any Wilkinson experts out there, your input would be appreciated. I would like to find more, but if I have to spend up to a $1 a blade, I want to make sure I get the right ones.
Thanks,
Tod
