Mine are big & blotchy too. Sad  The glue is annoying because even if you soak the blade in hot water and wipe it down, there is still glue on your cap and plate after the shave. However, the blades still shave great.  Happy2  Happy2

This is quite interesting and it may be that you guys have recently manufactured ones, possibly, whereas mine are all over six or seven years old as that is when I bought them in very large quantities seeing as I had known, then, this would be the only DE blade I would use for life.   Shy

slow shipping..it wouldn't surprise me if these are actually coming in from overseas and then being reshipped once they hit America. this is a common practice with a lot of cheaper electronics from China on ebay. they'll say they're from wherever, USA, but the items are actually coming in from China and then being reshipped. it's basically a ploy to get you to buy them from seller XYZ because you'll think you'll get the item a lot faster.

I'm not saying that's what's going on here, but it wouldn't be out of the realm of what goes on often enough.

I ask about shipping on the 30th as just being curious. No time was promised though.

That's great you narrowed down to the best/preferred blade, for you. Could be new production .

Oh,  yeah I see what you mean.i think I bought a cheap razor case that was done in that way, slow and from USA. It's not an exact drop shipping thing, but sent to them first.

Keep a soapy washcloth handy to clean the head after every shave... and prepare to add 10 min
to the shave routine.

We received in a week. I ordered July 28th on Sunday and received August 5th on Monday. 
It was not a slow shipping.
