I’m curious, Shane. Are Personna Med Preps made elsewhere?

I always forget these! I think they’re made in the USA, too.

Allegedly they're the same blade.

I’ve heard this, too, and I wouldn’t be surprised, but I have no way of confirming.

I enjoy my Med Preps regardless of where they’re made. Thanks for the info.

I think I read that they are the same, but the med preps go through an extra sterilization process.  Some people claim they can tell a difference though.

Much more expensive razors have come and gone, but my Dart remains Smile

How does the Dart compare with Diamondback and Wolfman?

I have a 1.55 wr2, efficiency to smoothness ratio on that is unmatched for me.
If I'm being completely honest and only consider how the razor shaves and forget about aesthetics, I would have to say that I prefer the dart over the DB. I find it smoother and more efficient. Others find the Dart to be too much for them, so there's that also.

It's sharp and it cuts. I like it...

Got an Old friend back into the shave den. I had traded my first Dart for another razor and I dreaded it from day one. Purchased the Tradere & Dart a few weeks ago and finally today got to use the Dart. Wonderful shave just as I remembered it. Almost neutral angle with a slight move towards riding the guard. Smooth, efficient shave with just the right amount of blade feel. Done in 2.5 for a BBS finish.

This one won’t be traded...

I really need to try it again, I bought one right when it first came out because the Blackbird is so good, but never got along with it.
