Thanks!

Searching some that I had sent to me by and find that he's making me a part of an evil experiment Tongue

I have a used one that came in a razor, and I have heard of them before, that's all I got.

I don't think these are the same. Duridium, yes but not the same cut/grind perhaps? Nothing on these about shaving and sound like box cutters......

I agree, Duridium is the coating process trademark name I guess, Star blades could be had with it too.
