Thank you, this was a very helpful post for someone who was confused about subject matter
My father-in-law is in Israel as we speak... with a request to return with razor blades... I'll post pics upon his return in a month if he's successful in finding some...
Well, I have a box of these. One one of the smaller sides they say: "Superior Technology from American Safety Razor Co., U.S.A" but the EAN Code search of 8850662161081 at http://www.ean-search.org/perl/ean-search.pl?ean=8850662161081Do you think this blue 100-pack Personna Platinum stainless steel blades is likely to be the Super stars as well?
Does the EAN number indicate the country of origin of a product?
No it doesn't. The 3-digit prefix code indicates which numbering organization has allocated the bank of numbers to the company. For example, a company may have it's headquarters in South Africa. The EAN organization in South Africa has the code "600", but all the products of the company may be manufactured in England. The English-made products would still have the "600" prefix code. The prefix code is a way to have 70-plus EAN member organizations issuing numbers without having to worry about duplicate numbers. A list of country codes can be found here.
Sorry, I thought you had seen them. I was in the mindset that given the photos of all the different types on here that physical appearance wouldn't be the deciding factor (because they look different again).Thanks for looking into that Stubbles.
If you have a box, why not just open it up? We should be able to tell by the appearance of the blade wrapper or the blade itself.
Cheers!
Potentially, if I can find someone willing to work with me. The blades are distributed by Personna UK, and they are not allowed to sell to this market, and vice versa with American Safety Razor, USA. I could always buy direct from one of the sellers, Boots, Asda, etc..., but it's cost prohibitive. I'm working on another chanel and may have some information soon.John,
Any chance you might start stocking the TESCO version?
Hey John,
Any progress on this front?
