Were your Perma Sharp blades made in Turkey or Russia??I've just reviewed these blades. They are excellent and well worth trying.
Permasharp blades were made in Turkey until 90's. Gillette purchased this factory and brands of it, and one year later they closed the factory in Turkey. They started to produce the Permasharp / Permatik brands in Czech Republic Astra factory (formerly purchased by Gillette from the post-communist privatizations)
After Czech republic was into European Union, the labor costs went higher, and the factory was moved to Russia.
Now the Gillette factory in Russia (producing the low cost Gillette items for the region) manufactures under several brands owned by Gillette. Gillette, Astra, Permasharp, Nacet etc) Actually the quality of the Russia Gillette is pretty well, and the products made under different brands are made in the same machines with the same good quality.
Actually if you want to know how I know all these, the company I am a partner of (Marmara Ltd), is one of the world distributors of Astra brand since 1985. I joined the company in 2007 but the company witnessed Astra being sold to Gillette and then the merger with P&G. I also visited the Gillette plant in Russia in 2007.
You dont want the permasharps in the plastic case, you want the cardboard carton - they are different, or so I am told - I never tried the plastic case version.
