I prefer Crystal blades over Israeli Persona Reds or blue. Any blade from the now-closed Israeli factories is becoming extremely expensive. Crystal blades used to be some of the best-priced blades; now, people are trying to sell them for over $50 per 100 blades. Meanwhile, $3 for 10 Israeli-made platinum blades is a very good deal at the moment.

My experience with Crystal blades was a little different. I found the Israeli Reds to be a little sharper, which was preferable for my tough beard. There was not a big difference, but there was enough that I do not load a Crystal very often.

I picked up some Crystal blades a little while back. I had used the German Reds and liked them, and this was as close as I could get to the Israeli blades. I grabbed 2 tucks of 10 at the time which turned out to be all they had. I wasn't trying to clean them out, just work out that way! I would like to compare them to the German made ones (I have more on the way, I finished my original tuck) and the actual Israeli made someday.
