I seal and use DHS No. 15 - absolutely no issues at all for approx. 10 blades.

I tend to say "yes". It is known that there is more variation in the properties of commercial H3Ns.

In your position I'd seal it. The advantageous weigh over the disadvantages.

Yes

I think it's safe to order it from China now unless there are no better options in Europe.

Yes, the looks but ultimately how does it play? Does it play worse?

Yep

41° H3N translates into 55° ESN. So I assume 42° would be approximately 58°/59°.

I assume they have medium soft and medium hard, so the hardness roughly translates into 48° and 55°, respectively.

Well, think about this: The total duration the rubber is played and thus being exposed to oxygen in its entire life time (approximately 12 months if treated well) is WAY longer than the time required for boosting. So this means you can neglect the time for boosting; and therefore the effect of...

rubber = top sheet + sponge :)

Absolutely

Interesting

But if you don't remove the plastic film, the rubber cannot benefit so much from the boostering effect as the film prevents expansion of the rubber.

I agree with Sims. The one who buys cheap, buys twice. AND If you don't go for the original you will always challenge yourself if the one you bought REALLY plays identical compared to the original version.

If "he purchased the blade and rubbers in 2021", then very, very most likely it is the tacky version. That doesn't matter.

In my opinion it is if it is really lightly used, i.e. no splintering of the wood, rubbers still with grip. If you are lucky then the H3 still belongs to the older batches that show way more tackiness than today's H3.
