    Got some Made in USA Personna Blues from Sally today with the Teflon coating. Wow. If you are curious, they sell them at $.29 each, so cheap to try. Great shave and 100 is only $17.99 from RazorBlades&More.

    Thought these were worse than the Lab/Meds and most people didn't like them. How's the shave?

    Yeah I had a friend show me a deal for 100 of them for like $8-10 or so, and I just saw such bad reviews I figured if they're not labs it's probably worth trying an Astra instead...

    I don't particularly care for Astras, worth the $.29 to try.

    Do you like these more than the Astras? Boy I think I can get these for cheap, wish I liked these as much as the Astras :(

    I really don't care for the Astras, oddly enough. I like these much better. Almost had to make sure I had it in the razor. YMMV, though.

    You can't judge blades from online reviews, you have to try them on your own face to know.

    For sure but a few reviews have been pretty straight on, maybe it's partially due to me only trying my blades in one mild razor for now?

    The Sally blades from Personna, I believe are the same as the barber Personnas...the ones in the plain white wrapper.

    Alright, so what blades are these?

    Lab Blues, Barbers, Crap-o's? All these names for various Personna blades has my head spinning.

    Looking at Sally's website, it looks like the ones you bought are Platinum Chrome.

    The ones I just posted claim to be Stainless Steel.

    Why must Personna make it so confusing?

    So they ARE lab blues? I thought Sally didn't sell those and they were something "inferior" (in pricing and general reputation at least, I haven't tried them).

    So you know, they are OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive if you buy a 100 pack there. However, they are supposed to break up the pack at $.29 each. I grabbed 6 for less than $2 and will order 100 when I run out of all my samplers, @$17 from WCS. Got a 4 pass DFS tonight in the Krona, love them. Plus, I do like that they are actually made in the USA and have little packaging.
