I get 6 great shaves out of these, great blades in my experience.
I purchased 250 Med Preps a while back from Robbins Instruments because I love them so much. Good value and longevity. Glad you like them!
Yup, now owned by Edgewell Personal Care. Its still American-owned though, as Edgewell is based in Missouri.I think the company got sold but they are still made in the same place.

Gillette Silver Blue
Astra Superior Platinum
Super Homex Super Stainless
Dorco ST301
If you message me your address i will send you a couple of each.
Thanks for the reviews.Laser Ultra - I like these blades although they get somewhat of a bad rap here. For me they are sharp and smooth, about a step below Astra SP.
Tomac Stainless - Love these blades, extremely sharp and long lasting. These blades are NOS (new old stock) I found on Ebay a few years ago. The box reads: Made in the U.S.A. for American Hospital Supply/division of American Hospital Supply Corporation, Evanston, Illinois 60201
Super Homex - These blades are ok, use them primarily for head shaves since they are not the smoothest but at 4 cents a blade I was not expecting much. I started a blade challenge with these, here is the link - Razor blade challenge
Hello Nate B
You have quite a lineup there , I never used
Laser Ultra, and never even heard of Tomac Stainless or Super Homex Super
Stainless before , would you mind writing
A little about those three blades, how they
Compare to the Personna's and to other
Blades in your very interesting collection.
I'd like to say Thanks in advance.

Now that I have 7 razors and shave every other day, each blade will get only 2 uses in a month. When I had fewer razors and was shaving every 36 hours, I was changing all the blades on the first of the month, but now I have to rethink that.Like the Sunday regular change schedule especially having a few in the stable. Good idea guys.
When I used to use a DE, Personna was my go to blade. Always changed whatever blade I was using every three shaves. Blades are cheap so why stretch it.So I have been testing personna blades made in the USA. Tonight was my seventh shave with the same blade. The last six shaves were incredibly smooth. Very close shave with no irritation. The seventh shave was still smooth, however It was not as close. I found myself having to make extra passes. The shave on the seventh shave was about the same as my old disposable razors were on the first shave. With my old razors I could only get two uncomfortable shaves. the first DE blades I used wer dorco. I got four shaves with those. I'm amazed that I got seven shaves with the personna blade with out razor bumps. The box of 100 will last 700 shaves! For everyday shaving that's close to 2 years of shaves. What a value. I'm so glad I found DE shaving.
There hasn't been a DE blade made ini Just picked up 100 of the Tomac Stainless razor blades. The box says Super Stainless Steel and the same address in Illinois. The blades say Made in England and Stainless Steel. I am interested to try them out. I wonder if these are the same Personnas Super Stainless.
There hasn't been a DE blade made in
England in quite a few decades so the
Blades you have are just about certain
To be vintage, and the Personna SS may
Still be in production periodically and
I'm not sure they were ever made in England.
Me too.4 is around my toss number too. Keeping a few razors in the rotation makes it somewhat hard to be exact. But a week is my outside. I just added another 100 count to an order to get over the hump for free shipping. I love saving money with de shaving
