    Default Red Personna Israeli - UK packaging?

    This is probably a dumb question, but here goes-

    I see on WCS they have Red Israeli's and Red Israeli's UK packaging. The UK packaging blades are roughly half the price. Are these exactly the same blade? If so why would anyone not get the UK packaging option? Am I missing something?
    ​thanks,

    Yes, exactly the same blade. I have no idea why everyone wouldnt go the cheaper route. Maybe they think Red IP's cant exist without red packaging?

    EXACTLY the same blade, as Ed says. I have plenty in stock in both kinds of packaging, and there is no difference. In fact, I sort of prefer the plastic UK box, which holds 10 blades. That's a great deal from WCS.

    No question which one's the better deal, the question is "why?".

    The 5 pack (red cardboard) and 10 pack (white plastic box) I bought both have red paper wrapped IP blades in them

    Glad to hear that. I just used the personna red for the first time from my WCS sample pack and had my finest shave yet.
