I replied to another comment with the same question that I have never encountered this packaging. I get a cardboard box. Sometimes the blades inside are subdivided into little plastic capsules of five, sometimes they're just stacked in the box. But that slot is entirely new to me.

My contry is just on the beggining of environmental awakening so most stuff is plastic packaging.

Those are my favorite blades

Because the blades I get aren’t packaged this way. Is that a reusable outer package? I’ve never seen anything like that.

Wilkinson is like budget alternative to glide in safety razor category, You can usually get this packaging with this cheap plastic handle:

That sort of packaging is only on the blades that are more expensive than the blades the price conscious commenters have been quoting the cost of

I have Dorco Prime blades that come in that kind of packaging. It was $11 for a pack of 100.
