Suitable for shaving? They come individually, removed from the original box. Hard to know if they are as advertised, I think. Ted Pella GEM Personna Single Edge Razor Blades PTFE coated!! Not cheap no name! | eBay
Don't know those. I usually get GEM PTFE coated. Check Try-A-Blade. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk
Just an FYI here. I purchased some Ted Pella Gem blades off eBay that I will be returning. I just don't feel comfortable that these are for shaving. They very well may be. The eBay seller insists they are for shaving, 3 facet, PTFE coated, Personna...Never the less, I contacted the folks at Ted Pella about them selling blades for shaving. I just received an email from the Executive Assistant stating "we do not sell blades for shaving." I guess that doesn't mean people don't use them for shaving...Maybe they're perfectly fine for that application. Many folks seem to use them for shaving. What do you think? I believe these are what folks are shaving with from Ted Pella: Product #121-3 Blades (tedpella.com) EDIT; I've had a bit of cordial "back and forth" with the eBay seller. In the interest of being fair, I'm posting his comments to me. Seller " Ted Pella has a target on their back so they will watch what they say. The shaving community & forums our in agreement these are the best blades for dollar. Ive always had a few things that irked me about T.Pella...like how they wont change the pic for these blades & sell old stock (as of 3 years ago when I bought 2 boxes to check out the competition) Gem used white box with green ink in early 1995-2005ish, they then went to a white box with black ink around 06-15. Around 2015 they went to the clear clam shell thats pictured in my background. T.Pella is a reseller just like me".
Same blades I've been using for years in my SE razors, not a problem with them. But cheaper when buying by the 100 blade pack.
It's a shame they don't show the full front label or the part number. What you want is these: Personna #62-0178. #3-facet, PTFE coated. If the seller can verify that's what he's selling, then go for it. For some reason, the best price I've found for these is at Connaught Shaving in UK, even though they're made in Verona, Virginia. House brand Gem style blades from CVS or RiteAid have also given me good shaves, but they're carbon steel rather than stainless, so they don't give as many shaves per blade. Try-a-Blade appears to be dead. Try Razorbladesclub.com instead, but I don't think they currently have the blades OP is looking for.
They appear to be the same blade. "The 62-0165/SKU: 62-0178 razor blades" description even matches what I uploaded. It's a good price - after shipping in both cases, it's less than a dollar higher than Connaught, plus whatever sales tax you have to pay in your locale. And it should get to you a little quicker. Disclaimer: I've been thinking in terms of price per hundred. If you want fewer you'll have to do the math for yourself.
I think the parker company is sellign the 'ted pella" injector blades with their new adjsutable injector for what its worth. And i have never seen anyone get actual comfirmation from ted pella as to what single edge blades are actually for shaving.
An email I received from Ted Pella stated that they do not sell razors for shaving. Maybe avoiding trouble down the road?
