Is this a Red IP?

    I wanted to try the Israeli Personna, so I ordered a pack awhile ago, but I think I ordered the wrong blades.

    This is what I got, its a 10 pack in a plastic dispenser. The cardboard insert is blue with a silver stripe, and says Personna Platinum, platinum chrome super stainless steel. Each blade is single wrapped in a red wrapper that says Personna Platinum and a drawing of a DE razor blade. On the back of the wrapper it says distributed by American Safety Razor Co. Staunton VA24401 USA.

    The wrapper is red, but nowhere does it say Israeli. Did I get Israeli reds?
    Whatever it is, seems to do a pretty good job. I didn't like the first blade, so I put them away for a couple of months, but I recently pulled them out again, and I seem to be doing better with them.

    So what did I purchase?

    Does this look familiar? If so then yes.

    This is the older packaging and where it got its name from

    OK, thank you for your help. The pictures really help.
    It appears I do have the red IP then. The wrapper I have looks like the old packaging.

    I get the red part, buy why call them Israeli?
     
  4. These blades are among my favorites! And is 'always done a bit' of confusion about this, I have the plastic and cardboard packaging in blue. In my opinion the best 5 blades in the world ever ...

    They're made in Israel.
