Personna Lab Blue --- same as Barber Personna , or same as Medical Personna ?

[Bass301]

Of these three Personna blades --- Medical , Lab Blue, and Barber --- which two are regarded as the most similar ? Some threads have mentioned the Medical and Lab Blue as similar and the Barber as different , but a thread today mentions the Lab Blue and Barber as being similar and the Medical as being different.

Lab and hospital are the same shave wise, hospital (medical) goes threw an extra cleaning/sterilization process.

^^ What he said. And in my experiences, the Barber Personnas don't even come close to the Meds/Labs.

I've not tried the labs but use the barber's & med's interchangeably, haven't noticed a major difference. Maybe I'll have to pay more attention see if the med's are working better.
