Israeli Personna Viking's Sword

Post by Bob in TX »

I have used the Israeli Personna Viking’s Sword blades on and off and always liked them. I had never done more than 5 shaves with a VS blade though. I just finished my 6th shave with a Viking’s Sword in my Gillette Slim set on “8” this time. All 6 shaves have been very close, smooth, and nick free. They can go the distance. At $16.20/100, they definitely go into the “Best Bang for the Buck” group of blades. As always, YMMV.

So many blades, so little time :). Was not familiar with Viking Sword. Will have to consider this next time I am shopping...

This is one I'm not familiar with. Sounds like a good blade too.

Me neither. Where are they made and where are they sold?

How do these compare to the Red Box Personnas?

To me, it is pretty much a coin toss. Of course, as with any blade.....YMMV. Between the two, I elected to get the VS's in bulk at roughly $16 vs. $22/100 shipped. Still pretty close cost wise. I just like the VS's a tad more. I still have some of the newer UK packaged Reds and the older red wrapper ones. They are very good, IMHO.
