I managed to get some on amazon but they sold out. Opened one up and it was laser etched.

Personna Comfort Coated/Lab Blues observation
- Thread starter Dimitri
- Start date
Lab Blues are $11.99/100 for NOS Barber Supply in New Jersey. They're a small business in Bergen County. I just stumbled across them, for those who are interested.
Thanks for this. I've been looking for a "non-river" source. The NOS Barber Supply website has them today for $14.50 (+ $14 shipping on orders under $125). Great deal if you need a few other things!
Razor Blades Club has "Personna - Lab Blue" with a photo of a blue paper wrapper. I may grab ten blades from them to try them out.
I am loving Bic Chrome Platinum and all reports seem to indicate I would probably love these as well. What I'm reading between the lines of all these reviews is that the various iterations of Personna CC/LB are more similar than different...
Wow... less than a week ago they were $11.99 and free shipping over $100!
The blue wrapper isn't Lab Blue. It's probably AccuForge.
Personna has got to have the most confusing branding in shaving. Check out these RBC search results for "accu":
I haven't seen this specific branding anywhere else. RBC is pretty light on details. I am exactly $3.58 worth of curious, so I just ordered ten of these Mystery Blues along with my hundo of Bics.
thanks for the hot tip
as far as I know they changed from the blue wrapper to a white wrapper around 2016 and then they just now changed to the black wrapper....accuforge and accuthrive are the same blade at two price points. accuforge is regular accuthrive is for medical so i think they get extra sanitized. I believe those used to be called med prep blades for surgery. comfort coated and accuforge is the same but they doubled the price.
Weird. My Lab Blues/Comfort Coated are plain white wrappers. Maybe because I but a box of 100 instead of a tuck? Dunno.
you can definitely get real ones on amazon. I would be more concerned with alibaba or ebay.
me too. I have the white wrappers thats normal. Blue wrappers are older. The new ones from razor emporium are black wrappers that say accuforge all over them. Same exact blade. Same laser etching just says accuforge instead of Personna
I bought a box of 250 AccuForges 6-8 months ago and I don't like them, if I'm honest. They don't feel the same on the first two shaves. Maybe the coating is a bit different, I don't know, but, they feel harsher to me until the third shave. This is why I bought a truckload of Lab Blues.
