twhite was nice enough to send me a pack of these blades. He thinks they are from the 50's. I think tomorrow the pushbutton is up with one. I have not had great luck with vintage blades like this. This one should be great!! Anyone else heard of or have any of these?

I used these for the first time today. In a 1912 Gem as stated above. The shave was very rough. Harsh even. Funny thing is it was a very close and high class shave when it was done. As I stated in the SOTD thread I will try again and see if the blade smoothes out any.
