Personna Platinum Chrome Double Edge Razor Blades * 10 Blades Per Package

 (14 customer reviews)

These are the blades they sell at local drugstores. They are priced similar to good ones but are very poor. I only get one shave out of them before the are too dull to use. A good blade should go 3-5 shaves with proper maintenance between shaves (keep it clean and dry). I would not order these and pay shipping. Much better blades out there for the same price.

Tried these blades when I made the switch from spendy multiblade cartidge$ to safety razor wet shaving. First results were merely ok, with some seemingly random nicks and cuts. I read at Badger and Blade that "corking" safety razor blades can remove any imperfections left on the edge by the manufacturer. I now simply draw the blade lightly through a cork before first use, and it has made these Personna blades much more consistent.

Each razor/blade combination is likely to yield different resutls, but at the price these are worth a try, and the minimal extra effort involved in corking them before first use seems to make these bargain blades good perfomers. Try 'em, and if they work with your razor and technique, you'll have an easy to find source of inexpensive blades.

Note that these are not the "red label" Israeli Personna blades. With that said, these may work just fine for you, but don't expect them to work like the "red label" Israeli Personna's.
