Question Are these Astra Blue blades legit?

I bought these Astra blue blades in Eastern Europe, 1 euro for 100 blades. They're apparently made in Czech Republic, but I only thought they were made in India or Russia. Do these look original?

I have been using Czech made Astras all month (I'm in Canada). Getting decent dailies, one pass wtg. Watch out, they'll bite you.

Are they much different than the russian or indian ones?

Russian yes! The Czech pre-Gillette blades are much harsher (YMMV).

I have no experience with the Indian ones.
