Med Preps anyone still use them?

I believe I have one sole Med Prep left in my stash from back in ~2012. I’m going to toss it into my favorite WR2 head next time and see how they get along.

I bought a box of 100 med preps off eBay a few weeks ago for $25 including shipping. They perform pretty well for me, but I also ran into some laser etched Personna Lab Blue blades and they have been superstars! The etched ones are much better than the sloppily printed ones.

I have bought med preps with the sloppy etching & the laser-engraving. The laser-engraved blades are much better for me.

I’ve seen etched Lab Blues, but I’ve not yet seen etched Med Med Preps. Where did you buy the etched preps please?

They are the newest production, so your best bet is probably Amazon.

Thanks BP.  I think I’ll hold my fire for now though. I’m up to my you-know-what in blades, so no rush, and I’m still curious to hear from Traffiktiger.

@HighSpeed, I ordered my last 100 (Laser-etched) from MedicalSupplyMI through amazon.com.

Questions:

1) Do the Personna Med Prep Blades have the wax dots (like the Russian Gillettes), or are they clean?

2) What blade are they "most comparable to", such as a super sharp Feather, a finer sharp Polsilver/Wizamet, or a more moderate Israeli Red, Lord or Nacet?
I know this is a very subjective question, based on the diversity of blade opinions. I am just looking for some general idea of what they are like. I know I can get a sample from Try a Blade for nearly nothing, but I believe that a wise person always gets all of the information before making any decision. And yes, I have been to the blade comparison site (which essentially shows that all blades are sharp and nearly the same...which I do not believe).

Thanks to everyone, for your opinions.

Prep blades do not have wax dots, which I love. Its shaving characteristics are unique. The blade steel is heavier & is a thicker diameter than Gillette brand blades, including Polsilver/Wizamet, but is not as thick as KAI. A Personna Med is almost as sharp as a Feather but is as smooth as a German Wilkinson Sword. The Prep shaving characteristics most closely resemble Wizamet or Sword, but it is sharper than a Wilk & softer than a Wizamet. Also, they improve on the 2nd shave because they hone a bit. 

Thanks very much Traffiktiger.
