Having just acquired a NOS Gem Feather Weight SE razor, I read a lot of discussions about whether the Personna/Gem 10-pack blades sold at Walgreen's are coated or not, as compared to the PTFE coated Pella blades. The package says nothing about it, so I searched for some written information about whether the Walgreen's 10-pack is coated. Well, I finally found a written source: the West Coast Shaving site description, which says the following:
"DESCRIPTION
GEM by Personna single edge blades are made from high quality coated stainless steel. Used in single edge GEM style razors. Packaged in a convenient holder which includes a used blade vault.
10 blades per pack.
Made in the USA."
I couldn't find any other written source on this, including the package itself or the personna.com website.
