Nope, they are not the Labs. Those are the Personna Platinum Chrome - made in Israel. The Labs are made in the US.
PM me if you want to try a few Labs

Personna "Reds" are what you have ordered, they are the only blades I use now, smooth and sharp, you should be ok with them, but blades are very subjective !

What a plonker! I will give these a go anyway, only cost £1.90 posted for 10.
I have pm'd you Omp; very kind of you to offer.
Given Neilo's contribution it would be quirky twist of fate that made these the 'one', I am though beginning to wonder about my ability to differentiate between blades. I tried a Bic this morning and it was a cracking shave, I would go as far as to suggest so much better than my go-to Feather.

£8.92 delivered for a 100, there is simply no better deal on blades (any make) that comes closer to this. People go on about this because they are sharp as a Feather and smooth as a.. as a.. mmm..Gillete thin I suppose.

Finger was hovering over the buy the Shemen solution, thanks for that, but I have the luxury now, (and I do consider it a luxury) of the broader world view. What a marvelous institution TSR truly is!
Btw! Shemen.. you have always been there with me, its not personnal

Happy to help or to enable, the blades takes around 5 days to arrive which is better than some domestic sellers.

Good job on the Blues enablement, Shemen. I'll back you up to the hilt with yon blades as they are the Daddies for me, especially at that price! Don't mind the Platinum Chrome's (reds) though - just not as sharp or as durable. My wife's favourite blade is the red because they are so smooth. Feathers though are nasty window scrapers and fit for nowt else. Salon Supply ain't never let me down and that's around 500 I've ordered from them.

I ordered few blades boxes from salonsupplystore and never had a chance to meet a bad service at any point, cheap delivery from the US in less than a week, the delivery is actually cheaper than many other domestic shops and I am not even getting to the price of the blades.
Look at Connaught Site, which shows labels/ packing of many makes of blade, includingOkeydokey said:Are these the Personna Lab Blues that everyone is keen on? I have ordered them anyway so I guess its a knats academic
Personna .
