I wondered about that, but I have no recollection of buying them. Thanks for IDing them. :p

Personna made injector blades under a number of private label arrangements. Supply and Ted Pella being 2 of them. The ones I got were do horrible that I could not complete a single shave.

I tried Supply blades and found them to be so awful that I pitched them immediately.

I did not pitch mine, but I should.

I found the newt ones I got in the all plastic white dispenser comparable to Chinese Schicks

I haven’t tried the latest in the black plastic dispenser, made in Seki City, Japan. I stocktup pretty well on Schick Prolines.

Couple of fast days at work. Unless it's my imagination or weak lather, but the blade seemed noticeably duller tonight. We'll see how it does tomorrow. :)

Warm Saturday here, mostly in the mid-60sF/about 18C. Nice shave today, even with inferior lather and blade. The soap is down to slivers, so tomorrow will be its last. :)

Soap and blade are done, as far as I'm concerned. The soap is reduced to a couple of slimy slivers, and this blade struggled to cut the finest moustache hairs. Five shaves per blade. Lots of buffing required today. Well, if I only expect 5 shaves/blade I suppose I won't be disappointed. :cautious:

I'm winging it on MWF - hopefully its scent isn't irritating to my wife. I'm counting on it (fingers crossed).

Only 5 shaves with a Personna sounds like a dud blade to me, Bruce. Try another one.

I am, though I'm not expecting much. Nice first day shave on the blade.
