Funny, I bought a pile of eastern European made Gillette Track II blades online early COVID; enough for the rest of my life. Paid real money but not by the standards of today's blades. Was scared I was being ripped off and that the quality would be junk but now, several years later, I can say they are very, very close to the old made-in-Boston blades. And I get to keep using the German made razor my brother gave each of us at his wedding. Aluminum handle with really nice heft and feel. So, not the cheapest but I have a happy face for years to come. So, Gillette by name and licensing and made far from the US but not Asia.
