Personna Medical Prep DE Blades....

This was my first DE or double edge blade purchase over at Westcoast Shaving Supplies. The first shave was ok but the post shave was not quite there for me. These blades also have a high price point at $3.13 per blade. These only come in a 100 pack and the package will set you back $32.00 bucks. The closeness was alot better than most blades due to the fact that these are often used in hospitals to prepare the skin for surgery so they'll need to be close. The post shave wasn't good for me. There was no slickness at all and my trouble spots gave this blade a really hard time. These blade don't last at all. You'll be doing good to get 2 multi pass shaves out of each blade. I definately won't be purchasing these blades again. Personna has another blade that's similar to this called Lab Blue which is made by another company here in the united states. My supplier mentions that these lab blue blades share the same characteristics as the medical prep blades I just reviewed earlier in this post. So that tells me not to waste my money on the Personna Lab Blue DE or double edge blades because they won't work for me.
