Can anyone tell me what blade this is? In other words what Gillette blade this actually is? I found them at the 99 cent store a while back.

Reminds me of the Personna Brand. I don't think it is a Gillette Blade!

That's what I was going to say as well. For most store-branded blades, the choices seem to be either ASR/Personna (if marked as "Made in the USA") or Dorco ("Made in Korea").

Interesting. I'm not sure who makes this blade.

I had the exact same dispenser on some blades from ASR themselves. I got a hold of some messed up blades and they sent a bunch of packs directly.

They are all the same blade from ASR, but each store does a little 'branding' through packaging or whatever.

They dont actually say they are gillette stainless steel, the say "compare to Gillette Stainless Steel" I'm betting there is something else before that that we cant see in the pic...

That sounds likely. Recently someone here mentioned buying GoodSense blades from K-Mart, too.

I'm pretty sure the K Mart ones come in the same dispenser and are marked "Made in Korea." The dispenser is very similar to a Personna, but I've never seen any blade I knew was a Personna come in that box.

Well I contacted the company yesterday and they told me these blades were discontinued. That was all the info they had for me.

Does the blade dispenser say where it was made?

Probably Geiss, Dolphin and Dunne.

I meant whether it was the company listed or the dollar store in which they were purchased.
