The razor blades are intentionally hidden from view in the packaging.
This is the back of the package. https://i.imgur.com/UMK0a4g.jpeg

I dont understand why it matters to see the blades?
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.
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 at other individual stores (not big chains, but really just a single store where you can meet the owner). It's all about saving tax this way). Then they are a few euros cheaper. They are still packaged and sealed. They are the same price in every store. Alcohol is easy to get rid of when buying and selling and in individual snack bars on site. Perfume is also easy to sell.
Depending on the situation, you may also be given a list of things that the owner could still use. As I said, this works in small individual stores and they are happy about the tax savings.
In America they're usually behind a locked plastic case.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dI1bJmqsz8E Nothing is done against the masses and security personnel are not allowed to intervene. (Why do you have security staff in your stores if they are not allowed to do anything anyway?) So sad.
Razors are a high theft item so I believe the argument is this style of packaging makes them harder to steal
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.
