Personna Comfort Coated Double Edge Blades - Box of 100 Blades

These blades are perfect for most, if not all, razors. They are smooth, sharp, and durable. The first shave with them is extremely smooth. They seem to become sharper for shaves 2-5 for me, possibly due to the coating wearing off. After the 5th shave they do lose some smoothness but still seem sharp for shaves 6-7. I swap out the blade after that but at some point I might really try to stretch the longevity of the blade just to see its capabilities. It just does extremely well in mild, medium, and aggressive razors. Overall performance is just top notch, you can't go wrong with this blade.

So far, I'm having real good luck with these blades. They seem consistently smooth and sharp and provide a close shave experience. I'm getting 4-5 shaves from each blade. Being Made in USA is a big plus. Quite a bit better than Astra, about the same as NACET and Gillette Silver Blue. Not quite as sharp/ smooth as KAI or Feather. Solid 4-star blade.

This is the newer packaging for the Personna "lab blues." The box is different, the wrappers are plain white. The question that has been all over the Internet for the past few years is: "are they the same blades?" This is very tricky -- is there a difference, or do I just imagine there might be because of what I have read. After a few shaves and some critical thought, I have decided they are just the same as they always were. As far as blurred ink is concerned, the Med Preps have always been that way and they are a superb blade. I will second everything Frank has to say below.

Hey maybe I'm cheap but I can get 10+ shaves per blade. Very sharp blade and smooth. Haven't had a bad blade yet but only part way thru the 100 pack.

I prefer paying in the $10-11 range for these, but I paid the Maggard price to get free shipping. Its a fine blade, but I still prefer Polsilver and Israeli Crystal.
