I understood that your prefered shave was with a Gillette Swede with a 25+ shave-history.....
they sure were. until it became easier to find the holy grail than a pack of swedes.
I have a pack of these in the mainly white packaging with a little blue and black. Came as a throw-in with my first razor. I'll have to report back after trying them.
I agree with you and they are selling them for 10 Rupees for five blade pack! For those of you not familiar with Rupees, 10 rupees is approx. 20 US Cents! I have stocked up a nice pile. I believe that these and other blades are going to disappear in a couple of years when the double layer/triple layer razors take over. The signs are all there even in the less developed world.
And yet the price in the US, where you can find them is < $1.00 a pack. 5X the mark-up.
I know some guys headed over there in the next few months, I am going to have them stock up for me.
I've been stocking up on the white pack Wilkie Classics at my local pharmacy for $1.01 per 5-pack. I find them very comfortable in all of my razors and, to me, that is a bargain price.
Dex are the Indian Wilkinsons ( blue & yellow pack to the far left) any good? I was thinking of getting 100 off ebay.
I got some of the Indian Wilkinsons (made by Gillette!) and find them to be pretty good for the price. Works better for me in my slim and merkur classic razors than in my SSs, but I haven't finished testing yet. Even though I over paid, well above the MRP, it was still a good deal. I would buy more.
The white carded Germans were not so good for me, but it has been a while since I used them. Maybe time for a re-visit. At least a local grocery stocks them for about $1.15 for 5.

From what I remember they are not bad, Straight Arrow gave me a pack once to try out. I'll give em another shot and compare them to a UK made Wilk.
I pretty much shave only with the UK Wilks (NOS) and can attest they are excellent. My favorite has to be the LB, but even the last of the ones made in the UK (which are readily available on eBay) are quite good. I'll post up some pix.
THAT is the Dread Shavepokolips which I fear!!
I hope Gillette falls on their *** trying to market modern junk in in the middle and far east. We need blades!!
