Okay guys,
I received some free NOS blades with a couple of razor purchases this summer. I have a red box (10 pack) of Gillette thins. They are a sort of gold-toned with stainless finish on the blades edge. The others are an unopened 5-pack of Wilkinson chromium edge blades from England (price stamped is $1.89 for the pack)
I'm more of a pragmatist than a collector so here's my questions. Are these good blades to use? Is it some sort of a travesty to open them up ? I don't want to sound silly with these questions since I'm sure these blades are not "valuable" in any real sense. Thanks in advance for any opinions and/or recommendations.
