What are you anxiously waiting to be delivered ???

After a few beers, I decided I needed another Christmas soap (which will arrive around the first week of January). I ordered Blackship Grooming a Christmas Cannons.

It's berries, pine, and ozone. Definitely moreso winter sounding than Christmas. Should work out... I hope. Lol.

I decided to put in an order for a six pack of Personna Med Prep blades.

Expensive little things, but I read some reviews last night and figured for a few bucks if give them a try.

At $33 for 100 I'd still have to think long and hard about a larger purchase. In comparison, my 7 o'clock Blacks were only $13 for 100. We shall see, I suppose. [emoji846]

It's my understanding those are the lab blues. The consensus I found (and it's all based on opinions of others who may or may not know jack) is that they used to be the same blade. The only difference being the med preps had an additional cleaning / sanitizing. Since the most recent sale of edgewell, they now appear to be different... With the med preps being sharper (and I may have read smoother?).

Again, I don't know for sure. I haven't yet tried either, let along both old stock and new stock of both types.

I have Blues and Meds and don’t see a very large difference between the two to necessitate the difference in price. Perma-Sharp are a much better blade for me at half the price.

I didn't get along at all with permasharps. I'm an odd duck. I also didn't like GSBs, Personna Red, 7 o'clock yellows, and Astra SPs are mediocre at best. I think I covered just about every favorite of 99% of the shaving populous. [emoji6]

My best blades are Nacets, 7 o'clock Black, and BIC Chrome Platinum.

I just figured I'd give these a shot after seeing some renewed conversation and having a few Christmas Ales. Probably more the later than the first.
