Help ID: Is this Personna - IP Red or Crystals?

[slr31]

Picked these up from Ebay a while back and don't remember using one yet. They came individually wrapped and bulk packed in a long box. Briefly perused a few threads about Personna blades and I think there is confusion regarding some blades. Is this one of them?

What I just noticed is that the wrapper says "Super Stainless" and "Platinum" but the blade says "Platinum Chrome" on all four sides.

Just wondering if this is a IP Red variant (no mention of Israel anywhere)? Can anyone chime in about their experience with this blade?
Thank You.

I have the impression that the printing on my "Platinum Chrome" blades is much neater. I wonder where these come from!

Israelis. See this post.

Israelis. See this post.

Thank You. So these are IPs but without a mention about where they are made.

BTW, if you briefly perused a few Personna threads, why have you not seen your same blades described in those threads? The first post or two of any Personna thread invariably will have a blurb regarding those exact blades.

You are right. See the same blade in a few posts - I think I was confused due to too much information and no mention of where this blade is made.

Thank You everyone.

These are CERTAINLY the Israeli Red IP, and NOT a Crystal.
Coming from an Israeli.

Red Pack = Platinum Chrome
IP / Crystal = Super + Platinum

Indeed, funnily, they aren't available in Israel.

 

[ArNav]

Hehe, they have improved the orange juice since then.

Were you in a Kibbutz or something like that?

 

[ArNav]

I can only envy you, because you've caught the last good period of the Kibbutzes', you're older than me by about 15 years.

 

[ArNav]

Ah, the good old years... I wish I were there. The old Israel... I've caught it's final breath somewhere in the yearly 90ies. We have lost it as some point. But it was so good as long as it lasted.

Well someone had the time of their life in Israel . After the details in the last few posts, this conversation makes more sense for someone who has almost zero knowledge about Israel and its history. My goodness Arnav, you missed it big time.

Anyways, this thread got royally hijacked . Who would've have thought that a DE blade could lead up to such a conversation and stir envious feelings among many.
