Does anyone know anything about the Shanghainese "Super Gillette Blue Blades" currently available on ebay?

Cordially, AvT.

I bought 10 blades from Dridiot and got them in the mail last week. So far I've only used one blade, so it's hard to draw too many conclusions. However, I got two shaves from my first blade, and while I can't say that I got razor burn, it wasn't a very smooth shave and I definitely noticed my aftershave burning more than usual afterward. So, I may have something more definitive to say in the near future, but for now I'm going to say that they are "OK." Not bad, but not great either.
I really like to experiment with different blades and I'll definitely order other blades from Dridiot. Have no fear about ordering from him.

I just found some of them in Xian in China.

I'm still a DE shaving newbie, but I quite like them.

They're 6.80 Yuan (1 US Dollar) per 5 pack.

Just shaved with one of the Chinese Gillette Super Blue blades.
It ain't bad, I would rank it with a Derby in sharpness and smoothness.

Followed the shave with some early 70's vintage Wild Country AS

Pretty good shave

They are one of my favourites, in my oc they are even a bit better than Bleue Extra.

Wil is the gentleman who sent me the Super Blues that I have

Hats off to him!
I don't believe they are available on the US Ebay that often.
I saw some on international Ebay once but they wanted "Pound Money" for them and I don't own any Pounds or Farthings. If they were for sale in Dollars I would have gotten them.

I MUST be a bit sharper than a Derby because I ended up cuttin my lip with the thing

Its an ok blade but I like the Red Pack Personna much better.

Where do you see these "Super Gillette Blue Blades"?
I'm not seeing them.
I see a few NOS packs of Gillette Super Blue Blades, but nothing of recent or current production.

They occasionally pop up on the European edition of ebay and are mfg in Shanghai by Gillette (maybe same plant where Super Thins are made?).
I recieved mine as a gift from a B&B member in Europe. I have never saw them for sale in the US. I prefer the Gillette Super Thins.

I got 3 in a NIB Traval Razor I picked up this spring in a nick nack store. I put one in my fatboy last night and it was SHARP! I will have to dail it back to 3 cause on #5 it really cleaned my face.
