I was cleaning up the junk drawer in the kitchen and came across these. Appears to be a full package. Probably came from some auction the wife and I went to some years ago.

Did you buy a lottery ticket?
Great find.
I don't get along great with Personna blades. I can use Crystal blades(comes 10 in plastic dispenser) but the Personna Platinum Chromes invariably cause razor burn and cuts even with the most careful technique. I know these are different so update us on the shaves.

There are different versions of the Lab Blues. The sloppily printed ones are not impressive at all, but I snagged 250 laser etched ones on eBay and they are my top modern blade in my den.

They are the same blade.

I can assure you the laser etched ones I bought perform nothing like the sloppily stamped ones. I have done several tests, even side by side shaves and the smoothness is very noticeable. The etched ones have much greater longevity as well.
