Rebranding of Personna if I recall correctly. Same blades, new name.

 

[emwolf]

Not heard of it, interested in learning more

It's the Personna Lab Blues rebranding, that is my understanding. Now how much of it did they change or not, that I am curious to know as Personna Lab blues is a blade I do like myself.

 

[Ckmaui]

AH that is what she said and popped back into my head for the rebranding thanks

New name for MedPreps

New name for MedPreps

That's the accuthrive, not accuforge, I think.

U right.....interesting how Personna always confuses the customer......they are all probably the same blade......,but the med prep "sterilized"?

yeah somehow Personna has figured out an even less intuitive naming schema here, than the previous one

I haven't kept up with the latest Personna news, but it sounds like " MicroCoat® Enrichment Technology" is fancy new words for "Comfort Coated"

"Comfort coated" was a nice instance of actual straight talk - this is what it is, this is what it does. Microcoat Enrichment doesn't share that virtue.

I can say the blades did very well in testing
had not tried the comfort or the med preps to much just had a few samples

so might try to get a box of these at sometimes or the “original” ones

my wife loves the Persona Platinum blades in her Henson mild

Yeah quite a few variants seem to be based on qty ?

Also the degreased vs non oil desc is interesting (mentioned degreased in the FAQ page)

notice the clean room ones are the ones with no inking on the blade so now curious if those are the same as the others but to meat clean room cant have the ink ?

They also go over the blades some in the about with the facets and metal type
