    Default I just had a fantasic shave ... with a mystery blade!

    I bought a couple of blade sample packs a couple years ago, and have just gotten around to trying some of the loose, individual blades in my blade drawer. Well, I just had the closest, most comfortable shave I've ever had, but I have no idea what kind of blade I was using. Can anyone tell me what kind of blade this is? (Sorry about the cruddy cellphone pic.)

    Not to muddy the waters, but "Israeli Personna" can indicate any number of different blades. Most commonly, "IP" refers to the red-box personnas. The OP has has referred to the blades known as "Crystals", which are different from what we commonly know as "IPs". Personally, I find the Crystals to be sharper and less forgiving than the IPs.

    Crystal blades rock.! I finally tried them in my sample pack last week and I love them. Going to order 100 real soon. I think they are $12 per hundred.
