I've always thought that paying nearly $2 a razor blade refill at the store was ridiculous.  So I was excited to see the same blades for nearly half on ebay.  I almost purchased a large lot just to get the unit price per unit way down, but I wasn't so sure about the quality I was to get.  So I purchased only eight.  When I received them, the box looked slightly different than the one's purchased at the store locally.  The box purchased on ebay was a little less colorful and had different languages including english on them.  The area where the 'comfort' strip is, is also a slightly different color.

The true test was the shave.  The first stroke felt as if I had used the same blade for a month.  I thought I was imagining it, so first I tried another blade from the ebay purchase...ouch.  So I put my old razor blade that I'd been using for about a week back on (was purchased at local store) and it was a smooth shave.  These ebay blades have been tossed in the trash, I am convinced these are counterfeit.  My face isn't worth saving a few bucks.
