I tried the historic Israeli Personnas and the German replacements back to back to see if I could tell a difference. I used the same Canadian Pre War, the same prep and Soaps.
I could not tell the difference between these blades. Both have identical shaves.
This blade is smooth and mid sharp in this razor. Not as sharp as a Wizamet and close to a GSB or Minora. Either blade performed the same. They felt the same and even left the same trouble spots.
If you were questioning if the new German blues are a good replacement for the beloved Israeli Reds, I would say they are the same blade.
