I've heard very little about these. Dooes anyone know if they are any good? They are aroud $30 per 100. I am trying to find a replacement for my Iridiums and Kai blades.

There was a recent thread that had some favorable reviews. And you may be able to find them for less, probably at medical/bio supply types of places like Ted Pella.

I have the Personna Hospital Use blades. I don't need any other blades since I've located these, they are current production and made in USA. They cost $25 for a hundred here: http://www.robbinsinstruments.com/instr ... ouble.html

I second that. I still use other blades here and there, but the prep blades have become my standard.

Thanks guys, I ended up buying them from razorblades and more because even though they cost a bit more it was cheaper when you aded in the freight charges. I'll try them out when they arrive and let you know.

I like them. They are as good or better than any Russian blade I have tried. Please don't buy all of them! I found razorbladesandmore.com to really have the best price and shipping was very prompt.

Of course, in a hobby like this one, where personal preference means so much, there have to be people who dislike an otherwise universally liked product.

For Personna Med Preps, I'm that guy!

To me they don't have the sharpness of Feather's, nor the smoothness of Red Personnas.

They certainly are sharper than the regular Red Personnas, but I still haven't been able to get a nice shave with them. I'm still going to give them a really good trial, but I'm afraid I'm a 'Feather' guy now.

Nothing like a Feather but will be giving the Med Preps a try.

Something weirds me out about shaving with hospital prep blades. Can't explain it.

I ain't touching that one.
