Wonder DE blades that have some rust

[rambus007]

I recently bought 17 packs of vintage Wonder DE blades off ebay. Each pack had 5 blades. They are made of surgical steel. I don't think this is the same as stainless steel because there is rust on these blades.

I opened each blade to inspect and it seems that half of them have rust. Is it worthwhile to try to remove the rust and use these blades or should I just chuck out the rusty ones? Thanks.

Do you plan to shave with them? Don't expect much, even from the ones without corrosion. Surgical steel is normally stainless steel.

+1 for not using them.

Prior to the move to stainless steel Double Edge blades in the mid 1960's blades were made of carbon steel. Even if they are un-rusted they will be absolutely wretched in comparison to modern day blades.

Thank you for your input guys. I guess I won't bother using them then.
