I have some derby's and Swedish G's on order and since I needed a shave I just bought some blades at CVS. Didn't have much of a choice.
They look like rebranded Personnas. At least the packaging does.
I fired up a new blade this morning in my slim and lathered up some nice KMF.
Now I've tried many blades and I've encountered many irritating or smooth blades but I have never encountered such a unsharp blade. I tried everything. Buffing, j-hooking, sliding,... you name it. Several passes. Opened up my slim on 9. I might as well have used my slim without a blade. These have got the be the worst blades I've ever used. Just to be sure I loaded a second blade and still the same unsharpness. I can still feel my beard after all the trouble. IMO really a waste unless I have a bad batch and some people had better luck.
One thing is for sure and that is by trying out a useless blade one really appreciates a better quality blade like the derby or Swedish G that I normally use.
