Let's talk about single and double edged razors and the blades that they use.

I posted in the other Personna thread about these blades but this is the more appropriate thread on comparison.

I only used one blade of each but the Hospital use blade was much much smoother and lasted incredibly long and gave some of the best DE shaves I ever had. I used one blade for two weeks and it was just hinting at not being as sharp.

The lab use blade was no where near as good as the first blade. I used it for about 8 days and it was probably too long. Not as sharp, less comfortable, and not as close shaving, from start to finnish.

I realize that one blade each is a poor test for any conclusion but I thought the difference was striking. Perhaps the first lab blade was a poor fluke. I have an afternoon shift today and will shave momentarily with a new lab blade and see if it's better than the first lab blade I used.

ETA- the 2nd lab blade was the same, just an average blade.

The labs are not sharp! Went thought 3 and couldn't take it anymore.
