    So I have found a pack of unopened Gillette blades. I think I forgot about them and bought in 2016 or so, but on the pack it says Manufactured in 2014. Upon opening they look brand new. But not sure if it's safe to use them?

    Once you're not eating them, you'll be fine.

    Just use them

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I buy then in bulk off Amazon, usually enough to do me about five years.
    Never had a problem yet.

    Yes they do expire , the warranty is gone and you cant return them if anything goes wrong.

    I wonder if that controversial ad will have a longterm affect on sales? I’m really interested to find out. It’s possible.

    If they’re not rusty or used, they’ll be grand.

    Next time u buy some make sure you stick them in the freezer they'll last much longer in there. 😉

    End of Quarter results weren't good...Gillette Q3 sales down 8% on previous year's Q3, margin down 22%...its looking like a multi billion dollar f##k up!

    In a nutshell they are applying deep discounts to stop the drop....it could get worse than 8%...Q3 only saw the beginning of the effects!
