After seeing these in a number of SOTD posts and reading positive reviews I decided to get one.

250 NOS Wilkinson sword made in England blades

From an eBay seller?

Yes. Did you get one of the 60 or 30 lots they had as well?

I did... I would strongly advise you to check as many as you dare open, mine looked fine outside but inside the blades were full of rust
"Goatywoaty" over on TSR also bought a 250 box and they turned up this morning all rusty, AFAIK he's asking the seller for a substantial partial refund or complete return as some packs contain 5/10 rusted blades. The cutting edge looks OK but to rust out stainless steel they must have gotten pretty damp (unless they were from a faulty batch?) I've not tried to shave with them, Goaty is going to tonight apparently and will give some feedback if they're usable or not.

Just opened 3 packs at random from the box, 2 look fine but one had rust on the first blade in the pack, but the rest of the blades in each pack I opened look fine. If it is only the the first blade in the pack that is affected then I can live with that. I knew it was a gamble but at £25 for 250 blades it seemed worth it.

Sounds like you had better luck than us
Each of my packs had one or two rusty at the top and also one or two at the bottom

I think I will go through the rest in the morning to see how many more rusty blades are lurking in my packs.Sounds like you had better luck than us

Nice little surprise from my Dad using the left over piece of Faux Tortoiseshell and a 28mm Maggards Synthetic:
Nice size and fits the hand quite nice. The "std" maggard synthetic is also pretty good too, maybe not quite as nice to use as the "Beige" but it might well be a keeper...
