Israeli Personna vs Crystal vs Red Pack Personna???

**eric.huntley** · 10-16-2008, 12:20 PM

OK, I'm starting to get a bit confused by some terminology.

The Red Pack Personna. Isn't this the "Israeli Personna"? Or is the "Crystal" The "Israeli Personna"?

Are the Red Pack Personna and the Crystal the same blade?

can anyone shed some light on this subject please?

The blades we refer to as Israeli Personna (IP) have a blu and white wrapper. They are sold in bulk without a brand name, or they are branded as Crystal and packed in the standard dispensers of 10 (I think). Same blade.

The Red Pack Personna has a (duh) red wrapper. They come in red carboard packs of five.

Both are great blades.

Don't assume everyone has read and remembers the sticky. I've seen some mixups lately.

To further "clarify" it, as John indicates here as cited by Rodd, the parent company (at that time) of Personna claims they have no knowledge of this blade. But, in any event, they are a great blade.

I love the Red Packs and bought 200 in bulk. I always found the claim that no one knows where they come from a little odd.

If ASR doesn't claim them, then where do the distributors get them from? I'm surprised retailers like darkangel or letterk (WCS) can't help shed some light on this. Surely someone is able to trace them back to whoever ships them to the US from the factory.
