Sally's personna blue amazon equivalent?

[illbell]

So the Sally's personna blues work best for me and I'd like to buy them in bulk so I don't have to pay 3 after tax for 5 blades and drive 20 miles for them.

I see Amazon has some blue "lab" blades and the packaging says 25% sharper. Are these the same blades I've been buying at Sally's? I want to make sure they're the exact same blades before I buy 100 of them.

The Sally's blades don't even say personna on them. They're just blank blades with a couple of arrows on them?? But they work great on my neck.

I am not sure, but ask the blade pros at the B&B blade forum and they should know http://badgerandblade.com/vb/forumdisplay.php/91-Safety-Razor-Blades

I believe the Sally's blades are most likley Personna Barber Blades.

These listed on Amazon, here, are Personna Lab Blue. They are great shaving blades.

They can also be found from this seller at a great price. I've ordered almost 1000 from them with no issues.

Those lab blues are not the barber blades though huh?

The barber blades are fantastic for me. Everything else I've tried, not so much. I'd hate to buy 100 of the lab blues and they don't work as well as the Sally's blues that I bought....

Anyone know how they compare?

The link to Amazon does not say they are "Lab" blue. They are Personna blue. It does say they are the same as the barber blades that use to come in a 250 pack.
I have the Personna blues and they are as sharp as Feathers.

They're the same as Astra SP for me, so I'll save the money.

Not much to be saved. There is only about a $1.00 difference between the two.

Here's Personna's description of the Lab Blues in the 100 blade box:

Sharp comfort-coated stainless steel blades for use in standard safety razors. Can be cut in half for use in the Magic Razor. Unique dispenser feature for single blade removal without opening box.

And here's their description of the 5-pack that you're probably buying at Sally's:

Sharp comfort-coated stainless steel blades for use in standard safety razors. Can be cut in half for use in the Magic Razor. Convenient dispenser with disposal chamber. Peggable blister card.

Here we go again! The Barber blades from Sally's are not the Personna Lab Blues. The Personna Blues are the Labs. The "Labs" do NOT say Lab on them. The Barber blades are not the "Blues".

Personna Barber

Personna "Lab" Blue

Will we ever learn the answer?

1000 blades? Do you need to buy more blades ever?

I'm always buying blades. I purchased the Blues for one of the barbers at my barbershop.

They have to throw away the blade after a single use so they use quite a few blades.

 

[Cacique]

I've tried both the Personna Lab Blues and the Barbers, to me they both feel great. I think if you like the barbers you'll like the labs, and if you don't like them you could probably sell them forward.

Illbell, pm me your address and I will send you a few of the "lab" blues to try out.

The back of the Personna pkg. sold by Sally's is the clue. "Made in the USA and assembled in Mexico".

The carded pack I got from West Coast Shaving has only arrows and no "Super" wording on the blade. Assuming these are the same you are looking for.

I bought a pack at Sally's Beauty last night and they look exactly like these:
