Lots of strange blades

[dslazar9]

Found, and of course purchased, a bunch of NOS SE blades that I've never heard of and am wondering if anybody can tell me anything about them. Here's the brand names:

"Doctors"-orange box
"Continental"-Red and yellow package. It says "De Luxe Continental"
"Goldblatt's Good"-from the old Goldblatt's in chicago.

Also have a box of Treet SE blades in a Green and blue box. Same as the modern ones?

I've only shaved with Ted Pella's and really like them, but these were cheap, look cool for display, and I love to try new things.

They may well be of carbon steel, in which case conditions of storage will determine if they are still decent for shaving. Carbon steel blades are very susceptible to deterioration if exposed to humidity and/or salt air.

Ted Pella actually offers quite a variety of SE blades, including carbon steel GEMs and stainless with and without PTFE coating. Are you referring to the stainless blades with PTFE coating that are so popular?

Yes the only blades I've used, and really like a lot, are the PFTE Ted Pella's.
