    Default Anyone need REAL MICROMATIC blades

    I just picked this up off the bay. A light cleaning, its gonna look great in my office on a shelf next to my SE razor displays. All 10 boxes have 5 unopened blades in each. Its a freestanding display from an old drugstore i would imagine.

    Double edge, the best part of DE

    Stiff sharp blade, the best part of SE

    These would be the Nirvana of blades.

    Those blades are awesome! I wonder why the reversible SE blade didn't survive? That's an amazing product display. Nice find!

    They only worked in the Micromatic razors, maybe that had something to do with it?

    Thank you for the obvious answer. Guess I didn't read what was printed on the actual razor blade in the OP's pic.That explains a lot!
