So with the help of my able assistant this morning I did a quick blind test to see if I could tell the Personna Israel made blade from the new German One.
I should add this test is completely subjective and I do not present it as proof positive, just a bit of fun.
So the Method was I shaved half of my face with One Blade then Half with another, in between my able assistant switched the blades after some training
Both Blades were new from the wrapper.
I wouldn't know which of the blades was in the razor at any time, The progress was always set to Number 4 (With hindsight we should have used an easier razor !)
Pass 1 WTG
Both Blades felt good for me the blade I used on the second half of my face felt a bit smoother and sharper and I called that as the German Blade. 1/1 I was correct.
Pass 2 XTG
For me on this pass the second blade definitely felt sharper I called that as the German blade and again I was Correct 2/2.
Pass 3 ATG
This time Blade 1 made easier work of the stubble especially under my chin , I thought this was again the German Blade and I called it as so 3/3 Correct.
For me the 2 blades feel close , but I definitely think the German one is a little sharper.
As I say this is based on my subjective feel and of course the sample is very small and subjective, but thought I would share.
