I have a friend who sells shaving gear here in Malaysia. He's also a licensed seller of many blades including Rapira.
From his discussions with several blade manufacturers he learned that both German Personna Platinum as well as the German Wilkies are made in the same factory.
I'm wondering if these 2 are actually the same blades in different printing in packaging. They feel exactly the same for me and both give me 7-8 good shaves.
I previously used the Israeli Red Personna Platinum which were made in Israel. Good blades and sadly these are no longer made in Israel. These definitely feel different from the newer German Personna Platinum blades. The Israeli blades used to give me 5 good shaves. They weren't as smooth at the German ones but had similar sharpness.
So I'm starting to think that both German Wilkies and German made Wilkinson Sword blades are exactly the same with different packaging.
What do you guys think?
