Paul, I have no idea how these would compare, and am not all that informed on all locations where they are made. (Perhaps my title was misleading. Should have said "current.") The ones I use are made in Israel.
The ebay price seems quite good if the blades perform well. So I'm fishing for feedback.
Regards,
Roger
Those are the Personna blades often referred to as 'Lab Blues'. I have them and I find them to be excellent blades.(that is a decent price for them too)
I have other blades as well(Feather, Derby, Polsilver) but I would consider these Lab Blues and the Gillette 7 O'clock (yellow wrapper) as my best go to blades.
To return to the original question, I find them to provide a good shave equal to 7 o'clock blues. The Personna Lab blues are apparently made in the USA, and that is a plus for me. The label says Vienna, VA.
it is because nobody can get a blade as sharp
as Merkur does.
totally agree, Marc
I have to admit that my curiosity was piqued on hearing about a well crafted American made blade, but the minute i read that it equaled the performance of a 7 o'clock; all interest evapourated
I expect that's the Twin Rivers plant near Knoxville, TN, and so far as I know they have continued to produce blades. As for claiming 25% sharper that's like saying my dog's smarter than yours.

We now live in a condo and can't have a dog but if we did I know he/she would be smarter than anybody's and he would comment, too. In fact, in thinking about it all of our previous dogs would be 25% smarter.
