They're the only blades made in the USA so just look for that mark on the blade and box. That's the only reliable indicator.**
**This may actually not be so reliable anymore because it appears that production was moved to Germany due to COVID. I don't know if all the blades have switched over yet or if there are USA blades still stocked by retailers for the time being.

I’m pretty sure that these are lab blue blades, but it says they are made in Germany!
That packaging has a 2019 copyright and the Lab Blue switch was made recently. So it’s possible that they’re repurposing old packaging for their other German blades, but that seems unlikely to me. Hard to know.

Hey Shane,
My last purchase of Personna Prep blades was made in 2018. Note that the bottom of the blade and the lower left of the box both say "Made in USA". The blade also says "For Hospital Use". I always regarded these as different from the Lab Blues. Are you saying that Prep and Lab Blue are the same blade? -- Thx.
