Studio 35 Blades

Does anyone here have experience with these blades? What is the consensus good/bad?

They seem very sharp to me. Frustrating packaging though. They are also not individually wrapped, which may not be a good thing.

Saw those at my local Walgreens, looks like rebranded Personna's. If they are, they work OK for me. Not the greatest blade I have tried, but I've had worse shaves

. . .looks like rebranded Personna's.

How can one tell this? I wasn't aware that might be the case.

I don't know if they're any good or not , and at the price they charge for them at my local Walgreens I don't think I will ever find out.

I tried one and it did not impress me. I think Wilkinson Sword does a better job.

The Studio 35 DE blades are in the same rectangular dispenser as the S. Korean Dorco blades I have seen at Dollar General and others.

The american made Persona's seem to be in the more oval dispenser and have "Made in USA" printed on the blades and packaging.

I have not tried the Dorco blades yet so I can't comment on them.

I figured out that Walgreen's brand is phasing out and Studio 35 is the new store brand. Like Target no longer sells Target brand but Up as their store brand.
Anyway they're abysmal for me. I won't use them anymore. One dullard I can expect, but three? Thank you, but no thank you.

I can't yet post in BST, but if anyone wants to see if he can make them work, send me a message. Otherwise, they are trash.

I also suspect these are made by Dorco. The Studio 35 blades are really a rip-off when you take in account that you can get the same blades for much less at any Dollar General or Family Dollar.

I've had nothing but disappointment from these blades. Just an all around rough shave.
