Gillette Silver Blue

Here is the rest of the packaging. The blades are only wrapped with the wax paper, no other outer wrapping.38BEB2BA-3DDD-4862-A80C-3DB3D55DAC41.jpeg

The blades are single wrapped. That was another big red flag for me. I’ll get some more pictures when I get home this afternoon.

Yeah. In the other thread I saw the blades were single wrapped but when the guy unwrapped them, the markings on the blades were identical. Unwrap them and then shave with them. That's the only real way to know if they are the real thing. And from the markings not the blades themselves, they look legit. Let us know how they shave.
 
Round dot on the Gillette on the known good one. That’s all I can te from the pictures
 
So, I’ve had 2 shaves with these blade. I don’t think they are legit GSBs. They are not as smooth as I am used to in either of the razors I put them in. They aren’t horrible blades but definitely not what I’ve come to expect from the real deal.

There’s a B&B thread on the ‘new’ packaging, Gillette Silver Blue new packaging

Also just looking at a trusted site RazorBladesClub they show the updated packaging for GSB’s.

Hmmm... definitely not above admitting I am wrong. I searched and searched for info about that packaging and I’m happy you found it. No doubt i was looking for a reason to be overly skeptical about the blades. Thank you for the info!

I'm just happy if it helps give you some peace of mind. This sort of worry makes me cry, even though it's a small expense.

My fear is that they are legit, but that Gillette has decided to cut costs by eliminating the waxy dots and inner liner, which kept the blades from getting dulled during transport.

Good luck my friend! They are more than likely legit, as I can't figure for the life of me why anyone talented enough to make counterfeit razor blades wouldn't just make counterfeit money instead!
