Personna USA say that they have moved to white wrappers.
I contacted Personna UK and then there was an e mail trail between them and the factory in the USA who specifically stated that they did not produce the Lab blue in white wrappers so they need to make their mind upravey said:Wasn't that email from Personna UK?
Newcomer said:I was about to pull the trigger to order some more of these, as I'd hoped by now things might have settled down and corrected themselves, but it appears not, sadly. If (and "if" is the imperative word), the correct blades can be obtained at £8 ish they are a cracking buy IMO and probably few blades can match the performance and comfort at this price.
(Whilst the continuing issues with these blades rumbled on, hesitant to make another purchase of these, I ordered a small pack of Croma Diamant blades and I've found them pretty good. Not comfort coated, or as quite sharp IMO, I've found them to offer a very comfortable and forgiving shave. They do cost a bit less too and work out cheaper still if you bulk buy them).
If the question marks continue with these Personna blades (as may turn out to be the case), looking elsewhere, can anyone recommend a blade that's comparable in performance and comfort to these Personna's?
(I saw the Polsilver SI on the bay, Gemstone are offering them at a good price at the moment). How do these compare?
Thanks

You could consider any of the following as an alternative:
Polsilver Super Iridium
Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Platinum (from India, via eBay)
Perma-Sharp Super
There probably are others but they are ones I find have similar sharpness and smoothness.
