Personna Double Edge Razor Blades, 100 Count

The BEST razor blades to date! I have tried most of the major brands of blades: Feather (Japan), Derby (Turkey), Wilkonson Sword (Germany), Polsilver (Polish/Russian), Crystal (Israel). BY FAR the American-made Personnas are the best, the overhyped Ïsraeli Personnas the worse! It is really reassuring that we still know how to make products which are top-notch and at a very reasonable price (here on Amazon.com). The Personnas paired with my Edwin Jagger razor are simply heavenly. I have a very tough beard, so I usually have problems, especially, since I most often shave every two days. My beard does not grow very quickly, but it is tough. Today I did a test ona three day beard. Smooth, close, no nicks, no harshness. What else can I ask for. UPDATE! I have been using these blades for well over 2 months. DEFINITELY the best DE blade! I get far more close and comfortable shave than with Feather brand blades, no nicks or cuts even after 6 shaves (!) which I find amazing (Feather after 3 were terrible). Hey, we sometimes search far and wide, but things at home are best. OK, maybe a Porsche is better than a Corvette (on a German Autobahn at 150 mph IT IS), but these Personnas are simply TOP NOTCH and what is best of all they are MAde in the U.S.A.! What m akes this pie even better is the fact that they are less expensive than all the imports. And they go a L O N G way in terms of the number of excellent shaves. A KEEPER for me. I already bought two 100 packs at Amazon. com (where else)! Take care and good shaving. UPDATE 2! These DE blades are simply astonishing (not to use the term awesome)! I get twice as many nick and cut free, close shaves as I did from Feather and Wilkinson. I am really at awe! And the shaves are much closer, less irritating. Taking into account the price and the fact they are American-made is really highly commendable. It makes me wonder why I searched and suffered for so long. TRY'EM YOU'LL LIKE'EM. I just added more to my cart, since they will be great gifts for my DE shaver friends. BRAVO Personna.

You can read a gazillion reviews of this razor blade. And most of them will be irrelevant to your experience. They'll say things like, "not as sharp as <insert name here>." Or "the best blade ever." Or "doesn't last as long as <some other blade>." All of which may be true, for somebody. But it's all subjective. For example, a blade may feel sharper because it is. But a razor blade is like any other edged blade -- it is ground at a particular angle. So, how sharp it feels and how well it works depends on how it is held to the face and how much pressure is being exerted. This is where variations in each shaver's technique can make a huge difference in how well a blade works for them. Another obvious factor is variation in the razor itself. For me, the same blade feels entirely different in a modern three piece razor, like an Edwin Jagger DE89, than in a Gillette President or Fat Boy. Look closely at different razors and you'll see how different the angle can be at which they present the blade edge to the face, and how much of the blade edge is exposed. I usually shave with a three piece razor, but sometimes I like to use a mid '50's Gillette Diplomat. The Diplomat doesn't have a steeply curved head like a three piece, so it presents the blade to the face at a more perpendicular angle. As a result, I've learned to hold and use the Diplomat differently to get a good shave. But I've also noticed that it seems to work well with an entirely different selection of blades than the three piece razors. Whether that's because of razor design, blade design, technique, or entirely a figment of my imagination, I can't say. On a related note, blade life is a function of technique, equipment, beard thickness, pre shave prep, and God knows what else. I get about three good shaves out of most modern blades (maybe two with a Feather). Also, blades last for more shaves when I'm shaving daily then when I skip a day and have more beard to get through. So it can be misleading, or irrelevant, to say that "blade X lasts longer than blade Y." To me, what is important isn't how long a blade lasts, but cost per shave. And at 10 or 20 cents a blade, I don't spend much time worrying about it. What's my point in all this? I'm trying to illustrate why a) if you're just starting out wet shaving, you should try different blades yourself rather than accepting reviews at face value; b) you really need to understand how your beard grows and how to use a razor, because good technique is at least as important as good equipment; c) it's critical to understand the relationship between the razor, the blade, and your technique; and d) how most of the criteria you'll see used in reviews are pretty subjective. That said, the Personna Blue is one of my everyday blades. It may work for you, or it may not. But it's made in the US by a company that has been in this business for a long time. They also make precision products such as scalpel blades, which gives me at least a little confidence in their quality control. And the price point is good, so the cost per shave is very competitive, at least for me. Made in the US, decent quality, good price ... if you're a wet shaver, that should make these blades worth a closer look.

The blade is very smooth, one of the smoothes yet shape. It did not give me any cuts or nicks, I used alum block to check at end. It is American made and the quality of blade is right there with German Merkur blades. Much much better than Parker, Russian or south asian or Egyptian blades . Next to Merkur this is my new favorite blade, Merkur is 3 times as expensive so this is a good deal!

Las navajas modernas sólo son un negocio mercadológico, lo tradicional funciona bien.

Bardzo dobre

Ah... These blades are wonderful ! Just switched over from Gillette Mach 3 Turbo to Double Edge Razors... Using it with Feather Razor (made in Japan), and these blades are a pleasure to shave with... Do note, the packing is a bit different than the photos, but dont worry... the seller is genuine and so is the product... Excellent Buy !!!!

Si può dire in due parole: lamette perfette, Queste sono le vere Personna Made in USA; le altre vengono prodotte in Germania, prima ancora in Israele. A differenza di quelle europee, sono molto precise e durevoli. Ho voluto fare una prova di durata e sono riuscito ad arrivare a 5 rasature per lato, cosa impossibile anche con le KAI, con le quali la terza rasatura già era molto meno confortevole. Se si trovano a meno di 20 Euro per 100 pezzi, sono assolutamente convenienti (più delle costose KAI; volendo fare un paragone con altro marchio d'eccellenza). Comunque anche a 28/30 Euro continuano a convenire, a patto che le si usino per più rasature. Col tempo ho preso l'abitudine, con la maggior parte di lame economiche, fatta eccezione per BIC ed Astra verdi, di fare una sola rasatura per lato o soltanto una rasatura per lametta: ma qui l'eccezione è più che consentita.
