Nice.

If only we could get ahold of the Personna hospital blades when they're not like, 200 or so bucks

The personna Med Prep are the exact same blade as the Personna Lab Blue. The only difference is that the Med Prep blades have been washed to remove oils and sterilized.
Technically the "Personna Lab Blue's" are old stock, some time ago they transitioned to the Accutec/Accuforge brand/name. If you look around you can find NOS Lab Blues for sale at fairly reasonable prices and the current production Accuforge blades (I think they are in a black wrapper) aren't terribly expensive either.
I have the original personna lab blue blades and really like them, I think they are among my top performers...definately more comfortable and longer lasting than feather blades.

Finally snagged a box. Was super excited aaaaand... they're the same freaking generic blades sold at CVS! Goodline and these are the same, no joke. Was disappointed after but luckily I like these blades enough to just keep em.
 
The UPS man brought me this assortment of blades today. I'm looking forward to trying them all in my Rockwell. I've been enjoying the new razor with the Nacets I have, but I want to see how much a difference a blade can make. Someone recommended the Wilkinson Swords, I might try them first.blades.jpg

that was me! love a good Wilkinson Sword shave. Good spread you got, especially with those Derby Extra and Treet.

Just remember, try feather LAST from my recommendation. Those blades are sharp and can feel rough if you're not prepared, but with good technique and lather they can give you a super close shave

And, just like the other members here, as they warned me I'll warn you: those shark blades are not great. Try em but trust me, they're sub par.
