    i received this blade in a blade sampler pack and have no idea of the manufacturer, country, common name, etc.

    what's the story on this one?

    i'm confused with what i read about personna's packaging. there's the 'med' which seems to be straightforward. the 'lab blues' may have changed from blue paper to white paper. there's the 'barber'? what does that look like? i haven't used israeli reds, but i've also read there are mexican reds which may be the same blade as israeli reds but different packaging.

    then, there's these ... which i've read and been told are israeli reds in a UK packaging. i've also read some conflicting statements, though.

    so, i thought i would come to the masters once again. can you set the record straight on personna and/or these blades?

    Those are the same as the Israeli made Red Packs.


    Here is something to help out.

    U.S. Made Personnas
    1. Med Preps
    2. Lab Preps

    Israeli Made Personnas
    1. Red Pack Platinum 5 blades
    2. Blue Pack Platinum 10 blades
    1 and 2 are the same blades just blade count is different.
    3. Crystals
    4. Viking Sword
