I bought these from West Coast Shaving last year (pack on the left) and unlike the Personna Super "Lab Blues" which have "Personna Super" printed on the blades, these only have arrows printed on the blade.
The packaging sold by other retailers (pack on the right) does state "comfort coated" however. The reason I ask is that I just mowed through a tough 3 day growth with 3 passes and one of the shortest touch up passes I've ever needed for BBS level, and I have a pretty thick beard. Are both packs Personna Supers with different branding, or is the one sold at WCS on the left barber grade? All are USA made.
The ATG pass in the mustache area was one of the smoothest I've ever had. I recently bought a 100 pack of the Personna Lab Blues (the new ones with the poorly printed Personna Super on the blade) and I can't recall if the shave I had was this smooth. I used my EJ DE 89L with Ogallala Bay Rum shaving soap, so I'm going to repeat it with one of the new blades on Wednesday.
The last time I used one of the Personna's with the arrows was last year, about a month after I started DE shaving and I thought it was a tough shave. It says alot about experience and improving one's technique.
