For My Fellow Nacet Fans-Ever Seen This Packaging Before?

I bought several hundred Gillette Nacet Stainless on EBay a couple of years ago. They arrived from Jordan on a card with 20 five packs. But last week, I found some Nacets on sale from a seller in the US, so I grabbed some. I've never seen this packaging before...it's a tower of 250 blades.



The individual packs look the same, with all Arabic writing...



The tower, too, only has Arabic...



I'm assuming this is a bulk pack intended for barber shops in the Middle East, which, to me, is pretty cool. Anyone ever seen the tower of 250 blades with Nacets, or any other PPI blade?

Pretty cool - unless you happen to be an alligator.

New packaging to me. Nacets are terrific blades IME.

Nice packaging!

I have some Nacets with labeling in Arabic like that, but the packaging is purple instead of blue, and they didn't come in a tower of 250.

I've never seen a tower of 250 for any PPI-made Gillette blade either, so I'm really intrigued by it.

That's the same 5 pack, but the large box is interesting. I'd buy 250 lots if they were around.

I've have these from Jordan as well ,but in the hanger pack.

How much is the U.S. seller..... Charging......
for 250,,,, NACET and can you give a link to them.....
I Just might have to order some

I can read Arabic text and translate to English, it seems to be manufactured in Russia and export to Egypt and Syria

I remember seeing Nacet with arabic script before. I think I even used some a few years ago.

Right. The 5 packs look like all my other Nacets. I'm talking about the tower of 250, which I've never seen before.

Well, I really overlooked an important difference: these are 10 packs, not 5 packs! Never saw a 10 pack of Nacets before.

Thats new. Never seen it. My Nacets are red.

You're right. Mine always come in the same style pack, Arabic and all, but always have been a five pack.

Got mine today

Not running out any time soon...

PPI has been producing Wizamets in these 250 packs for a long time. Same basic color scheme and overall look too.

Wizamets are a slightly different branding of Polsilver - same blade.

Looks like new packaging to me. I had 20 tucks card from a jordan seller. Individual tucks look same as the ones I got but this could be a 10 blade tuck.
Edit* just realised it is an old post. maybe the tower box is already history now.

Old thread. But there’s a USA seller on the bay right now selling the 250 blade tower for $25 shipped. FYI.
