What a waste of a brand name ! It takes many years, lots of effort and money to build a brand, a name that comes to your mind when you need something, and these guys just throw it away like a blade envelope. thanks Geo, you just saved Accu-something from oblivion.
Geo, you are the best. Shaving with my DE Merkur 30D over 10 years. You've got me into proper shaving routine..since then I'm following all your videos! Looking forward to upgrade my set with R89 twist. Keep pushing big man!! 💪
I wonder if that means the Personna Lab Blues will be discontinued as well? I have both the Med Preps and Lab Blues. For my beard and skin I can't tell any difference.
Can’t wait to see you shave them side by side and see if they are the same. I’m worried if they did some cost cutting. Eagerly waiting for the next video.
I bought some Persona Platinum blades to try as my daily use but found that while they give a good shave, they tend to nick my neck a bit and don't glide smoothly.
Hi Geo. What is the difference between the persona med prep and the ones from the package of 5 blades? The last ones are from Germany, but I don’t know if there are other differences. Thanks
What is the difference between accuthrive blades and accuforge blades? Are they as sharp as feather, in my AS-D2, feather blades give me the least weepers and nicks. …. So far. Thanks.
Thanks. I received a package today of what I thought was Personna on got the new brand. Appreciate the information. Also, I am subscribed but haven’t had one of your videos come up in years.
you should do a blind test of 3-5 blades and rank them before looking what blade was in the safety razor. also im interested in the shave nation circle swirl safety razor, love that design, would enjoy seeing a review on it by you. :) just ordered a 5 pack of voskhods and a 5 pack of nacets to try, never used either.
Thanks a lot for this info! Personna Med Prep has been my absolute favorite blades for years, with Feather a close second. I still have a bunch of Personna Med Preps, bought a box of 100 blades years ago and I still have at least 50. I can use them for 5-6 shaves at least, and I only need to shave once or twice a week, so it's been really economic for me while providing an amazing shave. Looking forward to your comparison of the old and new version! I need to check if the old version can still be ordered somewhere, just in case the new is not as good.
Are these supposed to be sharper than the AccuForge Super Stainless Steel Microcoat? I just about gave up trying to find a sharper blade than the Feather.
Geo it’s been a few months now since you got that package from Japan. Are you still planning on making a video on that vintage feather? I’m really curious to see how it and the carbon blades perform.
Amazon ones are knock off made offshore. Plus they are 25% of the real blades. If you like to shave with a knock off go ahead I tried them. I could barely get one shave out f them.
I have been struggling in the past few months to find the Personna Platnium blades made in Germany. The main importers (to NZ) seem to be out or only have the ones made in Israel.
My dad purchased a box of 100 of the USA made Persona blades recently (not the med prep, but the other ones), and he said they would barely cut. So he gave them to me. The first three or four blades would shave but didn’t cut that good. The next blade I used was sharper and I got at least 3-4 three pass shaves with it. So, I am wondering if they had a bad batch of blades come out of the factory or what?
Hey Geo, I'm kinda new to safety razor shaving. Got the bug now (picked up a few razors including a rockwell 6c, merkur futur and a Fatip Lo Storto), but I'm really struggling with cuts around the moustache area, especially with ATG shaving in this area. Could you do a video on the topic of getting a real smooth finish around this area?
@tomatoesgrow8009 to be fair I've not struggled at all XTG but I've cut ATG shaving out all together on and around that area for now. Just annoying that I can't get the same finish there as the rest of my face you know?
Wew, I was really worried for a second. I don't care for the re-branding but I'm happy that these blades are still made the same way in a USA factory (in Virginia I've heard?). At least for now... I'm gonna order some more to stock up just in case haha.
Geo - Let’s see the comparison with a couple r41s. I’m thinking a more blade feely razor will provide more feedback. What a shame on brand name but if it’s the same (and same price) who cares. Looks like you are ready for a shave now anyway 😊
Basically all they really did was buy the company out and change the names of the products. I really enjoyed the Israeli Personna Reds in my Rockwell 6C.
I only wish that some soap company would buy the rights to Mug Shaving Soap, because they made the best shaving soap pucks…buy the rights and the original formula.
There as sharp as feather for me. I still have 100 medical 😊grade blues squirreled away, I will stack them near my perssonna 74 injector bladed. I have a TON of blades stock piled for zombie 🧟♂️ apocalypse
Love your videos too. I don’t see a problem if they were made in Mexico or anywhere else… you use Casio’s made in Japan or Apple Watches from China. The idea is to get the best stuff.
How about direct comparison: 2 same razors, half a face with new blade the other half w old blade.....se how they do..........: Toyota vs Lexus, Ford vs Mercury, Chevy vs GMC...

Just ask Cingular.
Or Bud Light
GREAT point. 'Lets take a well known name to something nobody has ever heard of'. Geesh!

Nope they did not. Same factory 🏭 been there for over a 100 years.
I bought some Persona Platinum blades to try as my daily use but found that while they give a good shave, they tend to nick my neck a bit and don't glide smoothly.
I've enjoyed the persona blades,but gonna stick with feather from here on out I believe. Can't go wrong
Hi Geo. What is the difference between the persona med prep and the ones from the package of 5 blades? The last ones are from Germany, but I don’t know if there are other differences. Thanks
Never tried them, but always had good experience with a feather, nacet or bic chrome platinum.
Geo, have a great shave! Have a great day!
Omg. I was wondering why my hospital bills are so high. 70 cents a blade. 😂😂😂
Wow! Didn't know about this as I use mostly Personna med blue blades for my shaving needs now will have to update my blades!
What is the difference between accuthrive blades and accuforge blades? Are they as sharp as feather, in my AS-D2, feather blades give me the least weepers and nicks. …. So far. Thanks.
bit.ly/PersonnaPrepBladesSN I think they have 3d faceted edges.
Thanks for providing the details.
Thanks. I received a package today of what I thought was Personna on got the new brand. Appreciate the information. Also, I am subscribed but haven’t had one of your videos come up in years.
Can't wait for the video...thanks for inquiring and getting us information we need

Can you review carthusia
after shave⁉️
I believe that’s planned for 2029
Not sure why they wouldn't just leave the name alone. It's already well established.
Like I said...
Amazon has them . I’m ordering now before they run out !
Amazon ones are knock off made offshore. Plus they are 25% of the real blades. If you like to shave with a knock off go ahead I tried them. I could barely get one shave out f them.
@geofatboy your site still lists both options when ordering so do you still have a stock of the original Personna's ?
I love the Personna blades!
I have been struggling in the past few months to find the Personna Platnium blades made in Germany. The main importers (to NZ) seem to be out or only have the ones made in Israel.
Thanks Geo. Luckily I just bought the 200 pack of the Personnas on Amazon, so I should be good for couple of years.
Oh Schlitz! I do hope this doesn’t affect the Personna Comfort Coat USA blades. They’re all I use in my Gillette Adjustable Fatboy & Slim Razors!
Excellent information, thanks Geo

don't go against the grain if your skin can't handle it. Everybody has different skin.
@tomatoesgrow8009 to be fair I've not struggled at all XTG but I've cut ATG shaving out all together on and around that area for now. Just annoying that I can't get the same finish there as the rest of my face you know?
No shave this week? 😮
Wew, I was really worried for a second. I don't care for the re-branding but I'm happy that these blades are still made the same way in a USA factory (in Virginia I've heard?). At least for now... I'm gonna order some more to stock up just in case haha.
The factory in Verona VA is still in operation.
Geo - Let’s see the comparison with a couple r41s. I’m thinking a more blade feely razor will provide more feedback. What a shame on brand name but if it’s the same (and same price) who cares. Looks like you are ready for a shave now anyway 😊
Excellent! Video
We’ll still call these Personna😅
G Personna for now belongs to edgewell that is why they rebranded them
Accutech owns Edgewell...
That’s almost $1 CAD per blade after tax. And I thought I was splurging on Personna Lab Blues at $0.28 CAD per blade.
Bad name change for a good blade!
Just wanted to comment here to proudly share that tomorrow is the 4th anniversary of the day I got sober.
Wow dude. Thats great but weird flex in a TH-cam shaving channel.
Personna ist still produced in Solingen. They are still fine
Basically all they really did was buy the company out and change the names of the products. I really enjoyed the Israeli Personna Reds in my Rockwell 6C.
I only wish that some soap company would buy the rights to Mug Shaving Soap, because they made the best shaving soap pucks…buy the rights and the original formula.
The whole American Safety Razor/Edgewell/Personna/Accutech thing gets confusing.
There as sharp as feather for me. I still have 100 medical 😊grade blues squirreled away, I will stack them near my perssonna 74 injector bladed. I have a TON of blades stock piled for zombie 🧟♂️ apocalypse
WTF... Did Geo not know Personna Prep were always made by Accu-Tech?
But were they “always” made by Eccu-Tech? I imagine they were actually made by Personna before Eccu-Tech bought then company in 2015.
He knows more than you think. Maybe he’s trying to throw you into a WTF outrage. Teasing the millennials is fun
Love your videos too. I don’t see a problem if they were made in Mexico or anywhere else… you use Casio’s made in Japan or Apple Watches from China. The idea is to get the best stuff.

Why would they do sucha stupid thing?
