are these blades "persona reds" ?

[951socal]

having a hard time identifying persona blades since they make so many blades.
even the blades i used for my floor scrapper to flooring remove vinyl before i tiled my laundry room!

anyways here they are:

they come in this plastic case with a "used blade" holder on the back
which i've heard people say was present on persona reds.

however this comes in a different type of package

 

[OkieStubble]

These are.

 

[Legion]

Yeah. My reds all came in the little cardboard box above.

 

[Omp]

These are the ones I consider to be Personna Reds

According to Connaught Shaving, they are known as Personna Platinum Chrome, Red Personna’s, Israeli Red’s & Red IP’s

It may be that the blades are the same as yours but with different packaging, seeing as they all have 'Platinum Chrome' on the packaging

Me too. The blades are the same as those that come in the packaging OkieStubble posted. It's just the packaging that's different, and these contain ten blades to a pack rather than five. WCS differentiates these as 'UK packaging'.

I'm not sure which blades those are that the OP has. The arrows on the blade make me think they're possibly Crystal blades.

The container makes me think they may be Labs.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to Personna blades!

To the OP, are the blades made in Israel or the US?

 

[Relentless]

Made in US would make them Med Prep's, right?
Personnas are truly one of the most enigmatic brands.

I think made in the US would make them either Med Prep's or Lab Blues.

Maybe not. I get blades from Fred's Discount Store that are made by ASR, who also makes "Personna's". And if I'm completely wrong, disregard

i got them at a local dollar store here.
it doesn't say where it's made but the back says:

Double edge

These are the ones I get from Connaught as well. Whatever they are, they are my favorite blades!

 

[Teddyboy]

No, but they are very good blades, IMHO. I recently bought 150 of them.

 

[Cholli]

In a German Online store I also found Personna Platinum Chrome. On their homepage they wrote that Personna produces blades without any label on the blades, wrapped in a white paper for a faster availability.

It's possible, but those sound like Crystals. Very similar blades though.

recap on the blades: Amazing, beat out Wilkinson's swords in my opinion.

however the wilk swords are cheaper coming in at $17.6 cents each blade vs $0.20 for these persona

A very smooth blade.
Great with a DE89

I've stopped using the name "Personna Reds" for the blades that Connaught sells. It's only confusing, since there is no red at all in the packaging anymore.

I usually refer to them as Personna Platinum Chrome blades ... they are my favourites, btw.

 

[EloquentRune]

I have a pack of the "UK packaging" Maybe I should pull one out tomorrow since I'm not happy with the gillette green I've used the past 2 nights.
