Can anyone tell me which blades these are? I received them in a sample pack a couple years ago, and I have yet to use one, but I'd like to know what they are first. Since it says "Made in Israel", I'm guessing Personna Reds? Thanks!
What blades are these?

What do the wrappers look like? I’ve seen Crystal come in packs like that too. Don’t know much else though.

My guess would be Personna but that is a guess.
They are personna for sure.

I don't have a funny description.
Crystal without a doubt.
These are Crystals aka Israeli Personnas, I have them too and they provide an exceptionally comfortable shave. I think that in the past thought the wrapper was different, look here: Super + Platinum Double Edge Razor Blades (Crystal Stainless)
They appear to be Crystal blades made by Personna in Israel at the same factory that makes Israeli Reds. The blades are similar, but most people who have used both believe they are different rather than identical blades in differing packaging. On the other hand, the blades called Israeli Reds are sold in some markets in blue packaging.
According to reports, Personna is planning to discontinue producing blades in Israel, but whether blades of identical performance to the Israeli blades will be made elsewhere (perhaps Germany) will only become certain over time.

+1! That is my guess also.
For me Crystals rank a bit below the ‘reds’ or ‘lab blues’ but they are fine blades!
