I thought the Blacks were Indian (wherever they're made, the Blacks are brilliant).
The middle images (darker, faded blue) I thought were Russian. Nowhere near as good, from what I read several years ago.
The lower ones ('brighter' blue) may just be the same with some different photography/lighting?
 
Greens are very good but yellow doesn' t play nice with my skin.
Astra green far superior to both.
Not quite on topic but my 2c
 
The Speedy one is right...and I too find the Astra SS a better blade.

I’ve got enough blades to keep me happy for now.
Do I dare ask...how big a number is 'enough'?
I'm down to only 500 or so now, and razorbladesclub no longer sends to NZ. It's something to do with the Swedish Post Office.
Might just be because of the Covid scare, and normal service may resume later.
 
Looking to add to my stash.
Razorbladesclub no longer mailing to NZ (their Post Service decision apparently).
Found these various blades.
I like the Blacks (in the 5+2 pack), but what are these 'other' blades?
Blue packs. Made in Russia on some.
The lighter Blue packs...maybe India?
Anyone have any knowledge of these?
Thanks.

If RBC isn't sending to NZ now, just checking if you know of Fine Shave in Albany. Prices aren't quite as low as RBC but they have a good range and you'd get them nice and quickly.
