Has anybody ever heard of or tried Graham-Field prep blades? I just got a box of 250 for ~$30. No printing on the blades, single generic white wrapper, plain unmarked cardboard box. These are made for the medical field for surgery prep. I may not get around to them for awhile & can't find much about them. 1/2 the price of Personna med preps and cheaper than GSB, but I don't have any idea how good (or bad) they are.
Ever hear of Graham-Field med prep blades?

This is the first time I've heard of them. I'm curious as well if they are any good.
There's not really much more information about them on the Graham-Field site other than regular list price is $52 for a box of 250.

Nope. Keep us posted.
Doesn't Feather blades have a similiar "arrow" logo?
Rebranded Personna barbers?? Just a guess based on the white wrapper and the arrows.
I'm certainly curious. Good for you for taking a risk. I hope they perform well for you.
No arrows on a Feather
Look remarkably like the ones in the first post here:

Really look like Personna's?

From the pic they look exactly alike, although not much is showing in the pic of the Personna. My guess is either G-F contracts with Personna to make them to their specs or they just rebrand an existing blade from Personna (more likely scenario). I hope this isn't a rebranded Crystal or IP, my face just doesn't get along with those blades at all.
Personna either has many flavors - or few. No-one really knows for sure 
My face prefers Crystals/Reds/IPs to Labs and Med Preps.

You are correct....I had the wrong brand. I knew I had seen arrows on blades before.
Personna meds usually have "Hospital use" printed on them.
I think the box are Barbers. Whether Barbers are different from IPs or Crystals is another matter entirely. Distinguishing Personnas is a case that has driven many a would-be Sherlock to the nuthouse.

I'm thinking you're right. I just noticed the "made in USA" on the side so that eliminates IP/Crystal. Probably labs or med preps. If they're med preps I got a steal, they were only $30. I'll try them out this weekend when my current blade needs changed and post a review.
Those arrows scream Personna.
Put them in a razor already!
The only way to know how they perform.

Personna barber blades have a "spotty" reputation...good luck !
