Schick DE blades

[sandmountainslim]

How long have the Schick DE blades been out of production?
When they carried them at Wal-Mart I stocked up but used them regularly for years and now have only one package left. I will be switching to Personna's full time when these are used up.

Personnas, as in I hope you try the red pack personnas. Crystals do me fine too. sounds like a sampler pack might surprise you if you haven't already set your mind. I've got a couple packs of schick blades to try one of these days, have heard good things about them, too. Enjoy!

I am thinking of ordering a case of the green package Russian Gillettes, they seem to be a good deal pricewise.
Has anyone tried them? How do they compare to Wal-Mart Personna?

Why not order 100 red pack Personna's on-line? For $12.00 shipped, it's a better deal, even, than the Walmart Personnas.

That does sound like a good deal. I tried some Dollar General Israeli Personna blades and HATED them, liking the USA DG blades much better. Are the Israeli Personna blades better?
I will admit the main reason I thought of ordering the green Russkie Gillette's is just the coolness of owning a genuine Gillette blade at a reasonable price.

It's all subjective, of course. I get along fine with the Walmart Personna's and I liked the red packs that I got with my westcoastshaving sample pack so I figured to order the 100 qty from them for the above mentioned price.

You know, you can still find Schick Plus Platinums on eBay. Occasionally someone will have a big lot of them FS; that's how I came about mine.

The IP Red Pack is around the same sharpness as a walmart personna, however they are much more smooth and seem to last longer shave wise. Its probably due to the coating on the IP's vs the Walmart ones that seem to not having a coating at all.

If by green Russian Gillettes you mean those 7 o' clocks, don't waste your change. Get one of the other brands these guys are talking about.

There is a yellow package, I think it is, 7 o' clock that gets good reviews.
