Are these Personna Razors the Same?

[yabai]

Hello,

I have recently shaved with the Personna Platinum Chrome (blue/red plastic box), and believe they are a great razor blade for me!

My question is, are these the same razors? The price difference is significant enough for me to research! Any help much appreciated!

I see that these are available for around $9.99:



These are available for $18.99. I have used these blades and really like them.


Many thanks!

Yes. The first ones are just older stock.

Wow! That is crazy that there such a significant price difference. Double price for slightly different packaging. I read somewhere that the plastic box blue packaging is for the UK market...Confusing!

Yup, they're the same. It's usually the other way around in regards to pricing; the blue "UK" packaging is cheaper than the red packaging at West Coast Shaving.

Yes I just noticed that. I am actually bidding on some on eBay - 100 for $9.99. If I don't win, I'll probably pick some up at West Coast Shaving. Nice to know!

I have been very pleased with these blades. For me, they are very smooth. I got one of the best shaves using them and a Super Speed.

I have some red packs and the blades are marked made in the USA.

They came in a long box and also say SUPER.

I think they are pre-blue wrapper lab blades.

They shave beautifully. Just like labs or med preps.

I bought then on eBay from a seller liquidating lab equipment. I think they are from the 80's or 90's.

I like them almost as much as vintage Spoilers.

They shave nice from the wrapper and last about a week.

+1, a flare tip Super Speed and a red Personna is shaving perfection for me.

Well the auction is currently at $10.49 + $3 shipping. I might as well buy from West Coast Shaving.

I bought these from Sam's Club 100 blades for $9.99 and they are Made in Israel and give a nice shave:

I commented on your other thread, Carlanga. $9.99 is a great deal for a hundred of those blades, especially if you already have a Sam's membership.

 

[yabai]

Wow! Thanks for the tip! I have a SAMs close by that I am going to check.

Just returned from Sam's Club. Unfortunately, my local club does not carry any DE blades

Yeah, they are good blades! The most awesome thing is that it's a 3 min car drive

That sucks, next time I go to Sam's I will write the item number down, maybe with it your local one can request them!

Red Personas are great for me. I got 100 for 17 bucks about 3 years ago from West Coast and I have hardley made a dent in them because of My RAD.
