Blued steel blades by tomcj2 on 08 Sep, 2012 21:25

In the 60's all DE blades were blued steel, then Wilkinson came along.
In 1970 I rolled my cigarettes with a V-Master machine, that used a l o n g cigarette paper and 6 DE blades to cut them into normal length. The V-Master allowed us to reverse the blades and flip them over; we had 4 cutting areas on each blade. I remember that Stainless Steel blades did not last very long, so I always bought Gillette Blue blades; they lasted 2 to 3 times longer.
Do they still make blue blades? -

Sorry Man never heard of them? I was willing to try something new though.

A quick search showed a few sellers. Here is on I have used in the past for cologne.http://nyshavingcompany.com/shop/index.php/razors/gillette-blue-blades.html

I certainly would not want to use one for shaving. As I remember them they were rough and only lasted 1 shave. The only good thing about them was their ability to cut cigarettes

I don't remember them being good either...when Wilkinson Swords came along it was a new experience.
