I picked up several razors and a bunch of old blades from a guy today. There's this one vintage box of GEM blades. Inside is three blades still taped up and one loose one. On one side it says GEM and the other says DURIDIUM. Well, would anyone load one up and have a go, or just set the box out as a display. Also got one Star single edge and a bunch of old Gillette, Schick, Peacock, Burma Shave and others. Do I hear a triple dog dare?  |

You'll be disappointed at the very least if you try to shave with one.  But don't let me stop you! |

I would suggest getting a tetanus shot in loo of a dare.
Kind regards,

I did try one of the blades in the picture that was taped, just for the heck of it. I only took a couple strokes on my cheek with a 1912. It cut the whiskers, I could hear it, but it definitely wasn't very smooth. I can only imagine what my face would've felt like had I attempted a complete shave.
i ended up putting them and a bunch of old Gillette Thins and Blue Blades in a Pepsi can, flattening it and putting it in the recycle bin.

Best thing for them. Those were not NOS blades I think. the new ones would not have been taped together like that.. so not sure what shape they were actually in. Fuzzy |

It seems to me that Calvin sent me an old blade or two once upon a time as well. I guess we now know what the Easter Bunny sends the bad boys/girls.
