Good Sense Double Edge Blades

[TheClassicGentleman]

Hello Gentleman,

I have seen these blades in a local store for about a month



I have been a little apprehensive to purchase these blades, mainly because I have never heard of the name. Lately I have purchased these Personna blades instead



I was just wondering has anyone tried these "Good Sense" double edge razor blades before?
Are they any good?
Should I just continue using the old reliable Personna's?

I'm always into trying new things, but with my sensitive skin, it might niot be a good idea to try these if they are not of descent quality.

I believe Good Sense is the Kmart store brand. Those blades look like current production Personnas, although sometimes the Korean Dorco blades are packaged similarly. The all-white Personna package is older, I think.

But keep in mind that there are subtle labelling difference between USA Personnas. Those Good Sense blades are just "stainless", meaning uncoated. The others are "platinum chrome", which I believe means an extra coating for a harder, more durable edge. There are also "super" blades, coated with PTFE. YMMV as to which variety you prefer: some folks seem to be sensitive to PTFE, for example, and some prefer plain stainless to platinum chrome. Then there are the lab and hospital blades....

Thank you, I was thinking these might be somewhat cheap, I mean with a name like Good Sense what do I expect. I do like the Personna blades and are waiting for a bulk pack of Lab Blue to come in. I should probably just wait until the Personna Lab Blue blades come in.
