The wife's investment
My first experience with the Red Pack Personnas was not the best and I posted my dislike of the reds, that are available on Ebay. I now confess that they have been giving me some of the best shaves.
The first pack that I opened had a lot of glue on the blades, which I did not like. Since then I have been switching around and have found the red ones to be quite good little shavers. I still use them only once and then toss them. At 10 cents a blade this is affordable, since they don't give me good shaves the second time around.
I've also said that I can get a good shave with just about any double edge blade, which I can, BUT... The cheaper blades, like the store brand Personnas in the cool dispenser, require more passes and sometimes fatigue my face, unless I am just going for a quick WTG pass or maybe an angled XTG.
Anyway, just thought I'd share how I have come to like the little red packed blades, even if I don't like the cheesy little paper packages they come in. And the ones that have the coolest package have not been as friendly to me as I first thought.
