Is there a resource for identifying and dating Gillette Blue blades? I'm looking to get some to load up the blade box that came with a cased 1934 Aristocrat, and I'm not sure I can tell them apart, lol. Were the Aristocrat blade boxes packed with individual blades, or were they in sealed packs of five or ten? Most Aristocrat sets I've seen always show the box closed, so I don't know WHAT is in there (but I am assuming they are Blues). A set I recently acquired had one Blue and two Thins, both in awesome shape, but I want to complete the set. Thanks in advance for any info!

Check this site for blade info. In 1931 Gillette switched to the date coding that they later used on the razors starting in the 50's. (And why the razors didn't start at "A" in the 50's...)

Achim (Mr Razor) doesn't just do razors, he does blades too. A great source of info.

D'oh! That's exactly what I was looking for, lol...I have the razors page as a google bookmark, and for some reason never checked the home page for other links...what a maroon, lol. Thanks, LMS (and Achim, of course)!
