Turkish Astra Green?

It's written on the package in Turkish: made in China. Never saw greens from China though

I got this exact pack recently also and was confused why i couldn't find russia or india on the pack. Mine came from an online business here in Australia. I don't like the blades at all they feel rough and i got some nasty razor burn when i normally don't.

Just yesterday i got a new 100 pack from Amazon Australia expecting Indian blades but they were still russian blades supplied. I might order a few more packs to stock up i think.

I’ve been using them for years. That definitely doesn’t look like normal packaging… however I’ve basically been using the same hundred blade box for the last several years so it’s possible the packaging could’ve changed

I have these blades as well and they are awful. I would like to mail these to an Astra fan to try and see if they are a bad batch, fake or whatever.

Hi, just got this same astra blade form china ad they are very bad. I bought Astra cuz everyone told me that is a good brand, but this one from china is very bad

I think I have these same blades that I got from Amazon too around November of last year.

These green Astras have recently been manufactured in China; they are not counterfeit.

Got them in a bundle pack, one of my favorites’

Due to sanctions and logistics, P&G has moved production to India and partly to China. Your photo shows the inscription "Gillette.com" and information about P&G, which corresponds to the new global packaging. The new Indian and Chinese packaging have minor graphic changes compared to the old Russian ones. For example, the inscriptions on the side and the presence of a QR code (Data Matrix) are consistent with the newer batches from 2023/2024. The barcode in the photo (starting with 770...) is typical for Gillette/P&G products.

I bought these on Amazon a couple of months ago, and they clearly say "Made in Russia." I decided to get more and reordered 180 blades, and they sent me the exact package as what you got. I opened one to see what the blade looks like, and it looks the same as the Russian one, but the packaging clearly says "Made in China." I'm going to see about returning them since they are not what I ordered, even though I did open one sleeve.

Hi, bin per Google hier.

Ich hatte vor Corona mal einen 100er Packen grüne gekauft die waren top.

Nun 100 grüne mal wieder, diesmal auch mit Türkisch drauf, aber innen das Butterbrotpapier um die Klinge ist mehrfach mit schnörkeliger Astra Schrift bedruckt und die erste Klinge war direkt kratzug wie ein Einwegrasierer aus der Drogerie nun frage ich mich auch ob es da mehrere Produktionsstandorte und Qualitätsunterschiede gibt oder Gilette im Rahmend er Shrinkflation nun auch am Hungertuch zu nagen gedenkt und die Dinger mittlerweile so mies sind?

I just opened a box and the printing on the blade is different. It used to have 1,2 on one side and a 3,4 on the other side. now there's a U on one side and a 4 on the other side. I've been using this same brand for 9 years, I've always bought on Amazon, they've always been under 10 bucks for a box of 100 blades. I bought these about 6 months ago and the shave doesn't feel right and the print on the blade is different.

I checked the amazon price today and it is $8.24 for 100. That's way cheaper than it should be given our current inflation rate. So that's why I'm here, did they cheap out on us and send their manufacturing to some low quality chop shop? What do you guys think?

In my opinion, it looks like a fake. Gillette's factory in Russia has re-equipped the lines for marking blades and now there is no printing on them - only laser engraving. There is an uneven seal on these blades. I have an Astra from an older batch (they are made in Russia and have a stamp on them) - they don't have the uneven marks on the side like these blades have (I mean the T 2 mark on the side), mine just have numbers on the sides and the stamp is even.
