YES!!!
Forgot to post this earlier. A HUGE Elvis fan, and as such been looking for this for years. Reyn Spooner did one Years ago, but long since unobtainium. However, Graceland did a commission for an exact replica, official licensed, copy of the Blue Hawaii shirt Elvis wore in the Movie... So of course, I had to have it

Sick! I've got some Elvis in me as well and I've been wanting one of the replica jackets from Speedway, the red one with white stripes.

I picked up an Old Forge Mini Trapper with D2 steel blades, brass liners, and jigged bone scales for EDC. Super sharp; fit and finish comparable to a modern Case XX.

Ah, the GOAT of DE blades. When I used them the first time I was so ecstatic, you can even see it in my journal, which is just... well, taking a break until I try something interesting or new.
Perfect for daily single pass shaves with buffing imo. Right now I've graduated to two pass shaves with other blades but when I run out those are definitely going to be in my lineup.
Did you know they also changed names? These are accuforge blades now
I don't believe that's the case. The AccuTec website only lists the Gem and Personna blades under the beauty header. The AccuForge blades are listed under Manufacturing, which makes them hardware grade, not shaving grade.
Plus the Platinum Diamond Glide blades are brand new and have only be out for a couple of months.

Ya this is what is confuaing about personnas, a few different blades have the personna name in them, thx fir the xlarification!!
Well Personna is a brand name just like Astra, Gillette, or Shark. And Personna has produced several different blades in a few different countries over the years. Various descriptions used like: Platinum Chromes, Platinum Diamond Glides, Lab Blues, Reds, Stainless Steel, Comfort Coated, etc.
At razorbladeco.com they have “AGBL-7020-0000 Extra Sharp Coated Single Edge (Formerly 62-0165)” which are labeled AccuForge on the packaging. These are marked for barbering and grooming applications and you can get a box of 100 (in stock) for just under $27 (plus shipping). First shave or two with these stainless blades can be a little rough, but then they mellow out (for me) for the next 6-8 shaves. On AccuTec’s website they’re only marked for medical use (??) and “price unavailable” … hope this helps.
Now, if I’m using the wrong blades (I used one this morning in my Treet razor), please don’t hesitate to point out my mistake. Seriously… I’m here to learn.
And on the DE side (razorbladeco.com) “PLEASE NOTE: 60-0139 Personna Stainless Steel Double Edge Blade has been updated and replaced by Accuforge AGBL-6000-0000. SAME BLADE! NEW LOOK! All orders for 60-0139 will recieve the updated part AGBL-6000-0000“ also for barbering.
