Anyone done a comparison between the Blues in the newly-redesigned boxes and the old style? Your thoughts?
Personna Blue: new packaging = same blade?
- Thread starter packtray
- Start date
If you are referring to the boxes pictured below I have both. I ordered two boxes of Personna Lab blades and I received two different designed boxes. Both boxes have the same Personna Lab blades.
Yep, I have both boxes and they seem the same to me.
Personna gets bored and changes their box every so often, just the box though, blades are the same.
Which box is the most current version? The ones that I picked up back in February from Amazon are like the ones on the right.
So who actually gets the blades with the arrows ??
Thank you. I wasn't positive, but I thought so. They are fine blades for me, and I'm glad my girlfriend wanted to try them as well.
I like the personna blades so much,,I always get irritation free shave with them.
Interesting, isn't it, that the new packaging emphasizes comfort over sharpness. Has Personna finally realized that these blades appeal to shavers as well as lab technicians?
My box of 100 Labs includes a dozen or so blades with just arrows, no text, wrapped in white paper. I think these are Barbers, not Labs, and while they're not bad, they're not Lab quality.
Where did you pick up your box of Personna Lab blades? Online or at a store close to you?
Mail-ordered them from Razor Blades & More Co., an excellent outfit. As it happens, I ordered 10 blades and they shipped 100 by mistake. When I brought the error to their attention, they just said keep them, and didn't charge me any extra. How about that?!
Good on you for bringing it to their attention. Not a lot of that going on these days.
Very nice!
This is a timely thread. I have a newer box of Labs myself. Somehow, a Med Prep snuck in to my box. Yesterday evening, I was setting up for this mornings shave, unwrapped what I thought was going to be a Lab Blue, and it had the "For Hospital Use" printing on it. I'm about four blades in to this box, so I wonder how many more are in there. I'm not surprised that happened, seeing as how both blades have the same wrapper. It was a great shave, by the way. I'll need to try a Lab Blue in the same razor to do a comparison.
SO.....You had a box with mixed blades in it,and Viseguy got a few mixed into his box.....this makes me wonder about quality control...Maybe someone will pay for the blue box and get all med preps one day !
I hope not as well. I just recently discovered them, and they are fantastic blades. The Personna Lab blades work perfectly in all of the razors I've tried them in thus far.
Anyone here happen to know more about this? Is Personna stopping blade production here in the states?
