Reddit reviews Personna DE Double Edge Razor Blades, 100 Count

I switched to a safety razor and I can shave with a brand new blade every day for the same cost of using the same Gillette razor for a month.

Step 1

Step 2

Personna Double Edge Razor Blades, 100 Count https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0077LAJT2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_HRIQybACX7JRB

Some comparison math for those wanting to see the numbers right now:

All from Amazon.com, and the cheapest I could find at a decent quality...

• Gillette Fusion Pro Glide w/ Flex ball and two blade refills: $10.59
  
• Gillette Fusion razor blade refills, 12 count: $40.99
  
  __
  
  
• Merkur Long Handled Safety Razor w/ guard, w/ 1 platinum-coated double-edged razor: $29.85
  
• Personna Double-edged Razor Blades, 100 count: $14.54
  
  Already, the totals are: Fusion, $51.58 and the safety razor, $44.39.
  
  Now, let's shave.
  
  I'm not including cream or soap, since that's a preference for people, and can change prices drastically for what people use. Personally, I use absolutely nothing; water works just fine and I don't break out at all like I would if I applied some sort of substance on my face prior to scraping it off.
  
  We'll give Fusion the benefit of the doubt as well, by getting THREE shaves out of a single blade. The double-edged razors, we'll toss out after every shave (yup, double-edged or not, resharpened or not, one and done for this experiment). We're going to shave twice a week. That's 104 times a year (I wanted a figure close to 100, because I like that number).
  
  Fusion: One razor, 35 blades (three shaves per blade). That's three packs of replacement blades, totaling out to 38 blades including the two that come in the starter pack...$10.59 + ($40.99 x 3) = $133.56. You can go an additional nine shaves before having to buy another replacement pack.
  
  Safety razor: One razor, 104 blades (one shave per blade). That's two packs of replacement blades, totaling out to 201 blades including the one that comes in the starter pack...$29.85 + ($14.54 x 2) = $58.93. You can go an additional nine...ty-seven shaves before having to buy another replacement pack.
  
  The craziness is that even after giving as much home field advantage to Fusion as I could, they still cost over $70 for the first year. Realistically, you can get a lot more shaves out of the single-blade, double-edged razors which increase the longevity of a single replacement pack. If treated properly, one 100pk can last over three years. Those "moisture" strips on blades today last maybe a shave, and they're just about worthless afterwards; hairs constantly get stuck in between the blades and are difficult as fuck to remove, thus causing frustration or added swipes to get all the hairs off your face; and these added technologies like a swivel head, vibrating shaft, lubrication spitting spout, or rotating super ball does nothing differently than what you've already learned how to do with the contours of your own face and how the products treat your skin, rendering these features completely redundant.
  
  It's a no brainer.
  
  Edit: Oops, messed the links up. FIXED NOW!
  
  Edit edit: I just want to state that I am in now way shunning the use of the pro glide if it works for you. If you have found a way to increase the longevity of those blades, and you prefer them to any other blade, then by all means, continue to shave with what you like best. This price comparison is to show to those one the fence about trying a new method, or are searching for new methods to save a couple bucks, that there is an alternative. This formula is very basic, and doesn't contain all the variables that go with shaving (i.e. sharpening blades, the actual amount of shaves you can get from a single cartridge, a high quality durable electric pre-shave, hair growth and thickness). This is just to show that the single blade product at its most basic level is a much cheaper solution to shaving needs.

Best is subjective. For cost, I can get a 100 pack of double-edge razor blades for about $13 from amazon. It lasts the whole year.

http://www.amazon.com/Personna-Double-Razor-Blades-Count/dp/B0077LAJT2/

100 for $30 is an awful deal. I just picked up 100 personna blues for $12

These awesome popsicle makers. They come and go but should pop up for about $17.

A butter bell... never deal with hard butter again

A probe thermometer... it's changed my cooking accuracy like no one's business

A safety razor and 100 blades... shave like your grandfather and stop paying $8 for shit blades

15 bucks over budget. Maybe skip the popsicles.

Shave for years.

Honestly, ever since I started shaving with a safety razor, not only did I save ridiculous amounts of money, but I also never had ingrown hair problems again. I was back home this week and had to shave with my dad's Mach 3, and what do you know - ingrown hairs again.

I think the safety razor forces you to slow down. Also, you get less "face-to-razor" contact because you're only dragging one blade across your face as opposed to 3 or more. The perceived "ease of use" associated with multi-blade razors incentivizes you to rush through and chew up your face.

There are a lot of safety razor purists who will tell you to get a coffee mug, a boars hair brush, and fancy shaving cream. However, all I did was change the razor and kept all else the same, with conventional cream. Its been working fantastically for me.

I linked you to the safety razor I bought, which is only $15 and works perfectly. Buy a pack of these razors to go along with it and you will be set for a couple years for what you would pay for one months worth of Mach 3 razors.

it takes a extremely inexpensive disposable straight razor instead of a cartridge and most places say you will actually get a better shave with less skin irritation than with multiblade cartridge types.

i have never used one personally so beyond that i cannot help

Buy this: https://www.amazon.com/Merkur-Long-Handled-Safety-Razor/dp/B000NL0T1G

and these: https://www.amazon.com/Personna-Double-Razor-Blades-Count/dp/B0077LAJT2/ref=sr_1_10_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1465613507&sr=1-10&keywords=double+edge+razor

Get your favorite shaving gel/cream and never worry about shaving again.

You buy these.

Should last you like a year. You will never, EVER look back at cartridge bullshit ever again, I can promise you that. I do however buy the cheapest single blade disposables I can like twice a year for pubes and whatnot, but with these blades, that razor, a decent boar's hair brush and proraso shaving soap (these can even just be substituted for regular shaving cream or soap and no brush, it's just much, much better is all) = amazing shave. I'm a very bearded male...and I swear by this. It costs me like $20 to shave for a year instead of a ~3 weeks (brush has so far lasted me 2 years, soap usually just about a year, 100 blades about a year, so maybe 1 every 3 days or so, but I have a beard and only shave my neck/shape it up.)

I have gotten a lot of people into it by just mentioning it. Now they all swear by it. I heard about it on Reddit a few years back.

Safety razors are so, so much better than cartridges (once you get used to them a bit, but it's not hard, I'm a very rough shaver, I go nuts on my face and these things cut me less than cartridges did). Also, you can take it apart whenever you want, which is the biggest annoyance with cartridges (clogs) - you can just clean off the blade, tighten it back up, and get like 2-3 more days out of it easily.

fuck. cartridges. I have tried every method to keep them good for longer times (I was military, had to shave like crazy, and as I said - I'm very bearded). Cartridges are the worst, they're a fuckin racket.

Also I do recommend the blades I linked. Astra's are the cheapest, but meh...kinda rough... they DO last a long time though. Feather's are super sharp, but way too expensive. Personna's are a perfect middle ground, and are made in the USA, which is nice to make up for the Chinese razors I bought. Also those razors usually come with at least 1 blade for trying it out with. They take ~2 weeks to ship usually, but who cares. Buy 2 so you have a travel one.

As an alternative, you can buy a quality safety razor, and then blades are as low as 16 cents a piece when you buy them in a pack of 100 from Amazon. I bought this razor for $30 and I get one week's use per blade, so after the initial investment of $30 we are looking at 16 cents per week.

Or a cartridge razor?

The idea of a razor blade when you can't see is making me cringe.

Use conditioner btw. It's essentially lotion.

http://www.artofmanliness.com/2008/01/04/how-to-shave-like-your-grandpa/

I have the Merkur Long Handled Safety Razor mentioned in the article and it's amazing and it's a very reasonable price. For blades I went with these which are about 12.50 for 100 and they are double sided so even if you want a fresh blade each shave that's like half a cent per shave.

Which cream to get is more subjective but I got this with this which works for my needs. All this has lasted me a full year worth of shaving.

I don't know how good the stuff I got is vs other's because I haven't used anything else but it's way better than cartridge shaving.

Switching to a double edge razor (not straight) really helped my folliculitis. Using one blade for each pass is so much easier on my skin. Less blades is better and in this case one blade is best. I use very little pressure on the handle as too much pressure irritates the skin. Fragrance messes up my skin fragrance free cream is way to go. To top it all off I pay 12 cents a blade! I've shaving for almost 15 years and shake my head thinking how long it took to make the leap to double edge.

I bought a vintage Lady Gillette DE safety razor on eBay with Personna blades on Amazon...I love it. The blades are sharp and holding the shaver feels nice in my hands. I use plain shaving cream -- my bf, however, has a nice badger brush and fancy shaving soaps.

There's a small learning curve when using double-edged safety razors but I don't think I'll ever go back to disposables or drugstore brands. I mean, it might seem like a lot for shaving but it's kinda a nice ritual to do for yourself once in a while. I went to /r/wicked_edge for info.

Amazon.com?

http://www.amazon.com/Personna-Double-Edge-Razor-Blades/dp/B0077LAJT2/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1396654980&sr=8-8&keywords=razor+blades

Wow you're right.

Off topic question but the blades on your site listed as "Personna - Lab Blue". Are they the same ones sold HERE on Amazon? I want to buy a sample pack of only the blades I can buy cheaply in bulk.

Weishis are mild shavers, but cheap doesn't mean bad quality... just more fragile materials most of the time. That Weishi razor could break if you drop it, but it won't rust/corrode as long as the plating is intact.

I'm a dude, so I don't know how much wear and tear legs/pits put on double edge razor blades, but I shave my piano wire facial hair as well as my head, and with Personna Blue blades (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0077LAJT2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1) in my favorite safety razor and good technique I can get 15-20 shaves per blade. Your mileage may vary on that.

I think informally, I'd say from what I've seen around this community, you can probably expect to get 4-6 shaves per blade (which would still be saving you plenty of money over cartridges).

Hello! I was in your place about 3 months ago, except I have always used an electric razor since I started shaving. If you are worried about skin irritation I would recommend you do not buy an electric razor.

I was trying to nail down what could have been causing irritation in my routine when I googled something like "electric shaver/razor comparison" and came across this image. After seeing that I've gone old school and am shaving with a safety razor. I get 0 irritation after shaving now and my neck is completely clear except for a bit of PIH left behind from my pre-saftey razor days. Plus I picked up a new skill and actually look forward to shaving now, Idk I guess I find the process relaxing now.

>four blade

You don't need 4! Just 1 sharp one to cut the hair, anything after that is just extra scraping and all that dragging around with all the extra blades is just causing irritation.

here is exactly what I used to shave this morning; about 65$ upfront but after that initial cost buying new blades and soap is something that will happen once every other blue moon as compared to re-upping on cartridges at ~30$ a pack.

• Shaving soap + brush + bowl
  
• Long handle Razor
  
• *Blades
  
• **Alum block
  
  *I only have to shave about once every 5 days or so, so honestly I just use a brand new blade everytime I shave. I'm sure I could probably get 2 or 3 shaves a blade but, at ~14c a blade I'm not too worried about being wasteful- I just want them to be sharp as hell and clean
  
  **Wet face and rub this on after you shave to disinfect and close up any nics/cuts
  
  ...and if you want to go deeper down the rabbit hole /r/wicked_edge can help you out with that. Videos/links on foaming lather, applying lather, shave angles etc. I just winged it though once I finally had everything- I bleed a little bit the first time but the alum block stops it straight away. I rarely cut myself now

I switched to a safety-razor and I'm much, much happier with the results.

Same thing. Super cheap, lasts forever

I just bought these Personna Labs for the same reason, needed more than $4.00 though, plus an excuse to my wife to justify buying more razor blades .

I've never tried the Astra blades before.


If you haven't tried Persona, I recommend them. A box of 100 will last years for under $15 and are USA made.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0077LAJT2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1

Blades that come out of the Personna plant in Virginia are the only DE blades currently made in the US. There are also Personna blades that are made in Israel (different company, but they share the branding for different market segments). If you want the US version, look for ones that say "Comfort Coated," like these. IMO though you are better off choosing blades based on how well they work for you vs. where they're made.

There are lots of small companies making good aftershaves in the US: Chatillon Lux, Fine Accoutrements, Barrister and Mann, Stirling, Mickey Lee Soapworks, Captain's Choice, Krampert's, etc.

Thanks for the reply, I believe the lab prep ones are different then the ones I'm looking for. Here is the amazon link to the ones I want to try: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0077LAJT2/ref=gno_cart_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

I found this pack of Persona blades on the site, and they're really cheap. Has anybody here tried them out? I'm considering trying out wetshaving, but I have no idea what to look for outside of the recommendations in that under $50 DE kit guide.

Because I'm wrong as hell - they're Personna.

Can't be 100% sure, but that looks like a Personna blade dispenser that has been given a store brand treatment. As to which specific Personna brand they have in that cartridge, I can't help you. For reference: https://www.amazon.com/Personna-Platinum-Stainless-Double-Package/dp/B000XQBQVS/ref=sr_1_6_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1482445340&sr=8-6&keywords=personna+double+edge+blades

I buy 100 blades at a time that just come wrapped in wax paper inside of a cardboard box.

So I put my used blades in 1 of these. I'm going to eat the mints anyway and in the trash they go.

Safety Razor

Blades

Deodorant - Herban Cowboy Dusk Scent.

Body Wash - tea tree oil from Trader Joe's (buy it there and not on Amazon due to price).

Book - $11

Razor - $28

Brush - $7

Aftershave - $6

Soap - $7

Blades - $13 /100

Alum - $6

Box - $8


That is the setup OP has except a generally more popular aftershave scent, a different brush, and a block of alum that I find a little easier to use.

This is about $75 per person.

Edit: Personally I would probably go with /u/papander 's suggestion of Maggards. It is not what OP did, but Maggard's is a top notch retailer with really good product. For even less hassle just grab as many starter kits as you like, and add aftershave from walmart. You can't go wrong with any selection on the drop down lists as Maggards does not sell junk.

I just started shaving with a DE shaver my wife got me for Xmas. I bought a 100 pack of Personna blades, which seems to be working OK for me, but I would like to try a variety.

I don't want to trouble you at all though, so if you want to give them to someone in particular, by all means go ahead.

Thanks sir

I think he means something more like this. The razor blades are cheap but it takes a little adjustment period. Overall a much cleaner shave but takes a little longer in the morning for me. You can change the blade every two weeks and get a great shave for cheaper than paying for any of those other products. r/wicked_edge has a lot more info for beginners if that interests you

This is what I ordered from Amazon. Haven't even used them yet. https://www.amazon.com/Personna-Double-Razor-Blades-Count/dp/B0077LAJT2

Well I bought a safety razor and some blades to shave my face. Ended up growing a beard. Its easier for me to spend 12.25 on 100 razors.

The Lab Blues are made in Virginia, not Israel.

Perhaps we should compare notes. I just started using one. I dry shave, and the first time I got two little cuts under my chin that were barely scrapes. Here's what I'm using.

Merkur Safety Razor
Personna Double Edge Razor Blades

You're supposed to wash all the oils/grease off your face before shaving, but I don't always do that. The only thing I do is take apart the razor afterwards to clean the gunk off with soap.

There are a few different options for purchasing them: Amazon has them, and so does eBay . There are actually a lot of auctions on eBay for varying quantities of the Personnas, like 600 or even 1200.

http://www.amazon.com/Personna-Double-Razor-Blades-Count/dp/B0077LAJT2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425698611&sr=8-1&keywords=Personna+lab+blue

I don't know what kind of pricing you're getting from ASR, but a 100-count box of Personna "Lab" blades goes for between $13 and $17 at places such as West Coast Shaving, Razor Blades & More, and, of course, Amazon.com.

Absolutely.

Recommend using Personna Blues. At 12 cents/blade for a US made product. My favourite by miles.

https://www.amazon.com/Personna-Double-Razor-Blades-Count/dp/B0077LAJT2?th=1

Is there a big difference between the Personna Reds and these traditional Personnas?

Has anyone tried the following razor blades?

I’ve heard good things about personna but the reviews make it sound like these are fakes.

Got my First DE for Christmas and used it this morning with some Merkur blades. Felt like a pretty good shave although felt a little tugging think i need some different blades. These have been recommended to me http://www.amazon.com/Personna-Double-Razor-Blades-Count/dp/B0077LAJT2/ref=pd_sim_194_3?ie=UTF8&dpID=51KdujfMPYL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0FQV1KMB1XNT9CNAA3PN any suggestions?

> spent half of thaf on a 10 pack at the store.

These guys are the best deal. Made in US to boot! For me they show up at $11.30 and qualify for Prime.

Personna Double Edge Razor Blades, 100 Count

Razor blades are dirt cheap too, though. Unless you're buying Mach 4's or whatever, which I think is silly. You can avoid razor burn and get a safety razor for pretty cheap, then a box of like a hundred blades for something like 12 bucks.

The box is this kind so I don't know how the individual blades would compare inside it. I know the first 40 or so I used were good.

I've been using my 6S without issue for over a year now. It's been great, but I'm looking forward to see how the Model T compares to it when it finally arrives. I've passed on my "extra" razors to my dad as he became interested in wetshaving as well. At the very least he loves the great Maggards synthetic brush.


It's pretty nice being settled on a razor and not needing to look at new ones anymore. The only downside is I'm considering ordering a second Model T to hold as a future gift before the price doubles.


And to answer your question, I'd recommend giving Feathers a try, especially since you have them there. I used to use only Personna Blues with the 6S, but switched to Feathers a few months ago and have really nice shaves with them.

Ahh, those are Persona blades then. 100 for $12

I got this pack of Personnas, but it appears Derby offers a 200 pack for $15.

This one? http://www.amazon.com/Personna-Double-Razor-Blades-Count/dp/B0077LAJT2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411318767&sr=8-1&keywords=personna+100

I am waiting to order until I can try out the US blue Personnas I have. The Israeli reds are pretty awesome, so I'm hoping the blues are good as well, and if so, I'll be hitting "place order" on my Amazon cart.

I actually use a safety razor. Gets as close as you want it, and the blades usually last me 4-5 shaves of the head and neckline, and each blade is just over $0.12.

I personally purchase my lame razors at Rite Aid (Kentucky). Your local pharmacy (hell, even Wal Mart) will have them in the shaving aisle. Failing that, Amazon!

These are the ones: Personna Double Edge Razor Blades They are wrapped only in paper. There is a sterialized variant of these marked "For Hospital Use" you can find on westcoastshaving.com, but reports are that they are identical to the blue wrapped blades other than going through an extra sterilization step.

Hope this helps. Cheers!

it is not the best set but for 45 bucks that will last you a while.

Does your bathroom have adequate lighting for shaving? Can you see what your are doing? Do you drink water? Would you say you are hydrated?

If so, get these supplies from whichever supplier you prefer. You don't need to get them from Amazon, they just tend to have the most product information. You also don't need them all at once, money doesn't grow on trees, but the list below probably costs less than 3 months of Mach 3 blades and it will last you a year or more. You need the first 3 links first. The others are helpful, but you will be able to asses your needs as you go.
