Blade QC Issue....

Difficult to photograph, but I opened up a Lab Blue today and saw the blade with the worst QC I have come across, there's a significant kink in one edge of the blade!

I'm pleased I had a look at the blade before putting it into the razor....
 
I was half expecting to see a picture of your Gillette Winner!

I read one of the face-off challenges in B&B where someone compared the Lab Blue to the Med Prep. Interestingly they noted a ight edge burr with two different Lab Blue blades. Probably not to the extent you're seeing though.
 
Might not be the case in this example but there are fake Personna blades out there, so that's something to be wary of. I've gone through lots of these (buy them by the 100 box from Amazon) and am yet to get a duff one. Mine look different to yours:

They changed the packaging a few years ago. They used to be wrapped with blue printed papers before they switched to the plain ones like you have, also they changed the box as well.

Fairly sure mine isn't a fake, but just something went wrong with a machine, it happens!

I ordered some Gillette Winners but I fully expect they will take months to get from India to the UK! The blade I have has an edge with a kink in, it's completely wonky, not flat in the slightest bit. It's just a very unusual thing to see, not seen a blade like one before this.
 
Just torque 'er down in your razor and give it a pass on your nutz!! :eek::D:ROFLMAO:;)

Stuff happens for sure, but I can honestly say I have never had a "duff" blade, just overall bad ones.
