You don’t even have them on the shelves here (DE). There’s just cardboard and you get the razor blades at the checkout. It’s just quick stolen goods that always find a buyer.

I dont understand why it matters to see the blades?

Do people buy razor blades from shady dudes behind the shop? How would one sell the razor blades they stole?

Friends and relatives. There are also people who simply ask strangers. Or to other individual stores (not large chains but really just a single store where you can meet the owner). It’s about saving taxes this way). Then for a few euros cheaper. They are still packaged and sealed. Have the same price in every store. Alcohol is easy to get rid of when buying and selling as well as at individual local snack bars. Perfume can also be bought and sold.
Depending on the situation, you may also get a list of what else they could use. As I said, everything is only in small individual stores and they are happy about the tax savings.

In America they’re usually behind a locked plastic case.

How is the consumer meant to know if they’ve rusted in their packaging?

Is that real concern that people have or is this sarcasm?

Neither, just wild speculation for the hell of it

In high humidity regions, ya. I’ve never had issue with razors specifically, but other items.
