After 5 years of using an electric, and getting both a lousy shave and ingrown hairs, I've decided to try a double-edge razor. I've obtained an old Gillette Milord (Post-war model, basically a gold-plated Super Speed). the seller wasn't that knowledgeable, didn't know what a Milord was and had included a booklet from a Super Speed razor, which appears to be a reproduction as I've looked at it with a magnifying glass and can see the blue, red, and yellow dots making up the light blue coloring.
Also in the box was a pack of 20 Gillette Blue Blades with C-4 datecode, indicating 1957 manufacture, which I assume should NOT be used for anything other than scraping burned-on food off of cookpans or something. But I'm curious, is anyone making counterfeit/reproduction Blue Blades, as the package and blades don't look old, there aren't any scratches on the dispenser, and the blades aren't rusted.
