Tesco blades

[MarkDifferential]

Today while doing other things I went into Tesco's for some energy drinks and while walking past the mens' toiletries just happened to see if they sold any DE blades of any make. The only make I saw was Tesco's chrome DE blades with platinum coating.

10 for £1.90

I'm going to try one tomorrow.

 

[Tainted]

I'm fairly sure they're Israeli Personnas.

 

[Denzle]

I've tried them myself and find them to be a very good blade. Can get similar ones from Asda, I think Tainted is correct in saying that they are de-badged Personnas.

 

[Lose the beard]

I think the ASDA ones even say personna on them. I'll pick up a pack on Monday and investigate.

 

[Denzle]

You are quite correct Sir. The Asda blades are clearly marked as Personna. Made in Israel. Just checked my stash.

 

[Lose the beard]

I may pick up a pack anyway, I like persona reds so it will be interesting to see how these differ.

 

[joe mcclaine]

They're Personnas.

I'm sure they're Personnas.

Are they Personnas?

 

[WiffWaff]

Think they're in Boots, too. Been thinking of getting some... I'm a bit of a Personna-head

 

[Dobbo25]

According to Connaught Shaving they are Personnas under a Tesco label

 

[cruciate]

In case no one has mentioned it, they are personnas

Your Kidding me :icon_lol:

The Tesco blades I bought have no branding on the blade whatsoever - completely blank. They were also a bit lethal in my 33C so they may suit my Slim quite well but I haven't tried them yet after the previous bad experience with them.

I think Morrisons sell Personna blades as well, like ASDA in a Personna pack. The Superdrug blades are Dorco 301.

I'm not sure what they'd be but having just used one I can confirm that they do indeed come in a plain white wrapper and that there's no writing/logos or markings on the blade at all.

However..

Pass one was tuggy as hell and was pulling so badly I thought it was going to cut me. It didn't

Pass two was much smoother but left a lot of hair behind.

Pass three left me pretty much BBS but my chin is stinging like a stingy thing.

Having only Derbys to compare these to I'm not sure. Maybe one's face needs to adjust to a different blade? I can't remember a shave being this difficult and uncomfortable before. The jury's still out.

Maybe I should just shave more often but having said that, when I do think about doing it every day I can feel my skin screaming in protest and so I don't bother. It's normally a twice-weekly thing for me.

That's pretty much what I find when I used Personnas. Most [people like them, but no blade suits absolutely everyone.

I've got a pack from Tesco and one from Boots not opened or tried yet. They look the same. I'll see if my experience is a good or poor one....
