I've yet to try all the variations myself but have some Leaf blades which I think are Personna Reds??? I read that the Crystal Super SS are also known as Israeli Personnas and I like them.

All the original Israeli Personna Reds and Crystal Super SS blades are going to be made in Germany, because, the original Israeli Personna blades have been sold to Germany.I've yet to try all the variations myself but have some Leaf blades which I think are Personna Reds???

Looking forward to seeing your thoughts in upcoming SOTD posts. Congrats!In today's post, a birch-bark Rocca. Thanks @tullfan! No picture necessary, except for barrel-dwellers. Giving the handle a good soak in flax-seed (ie linseed) oil, and will give it a spin tomorrow. Now to decide what blade to put in it...
I know! I'll use a Gillette Yellow!
Little sampler from vshod. Forgot to add the Rapira Platinum and super stainless. Probably not missing out though.

The head is the same as the DE89 and R89, otherwise, enjoy it and keep it as a travel razor
If I'm not mistaken it appears to be Sold Out but some lovely boar brushes available for a reasonable price.
The horse hair brushes are now back in stock if anyone wants one. The shipping is included.
Yea I like the case and the handle. Always good to have a spare '89 head around.

From Russia Without Love.
13 weeks to deliver express ! 4 days to leave Russia, 6 weeks in postal blackhole, and another 6 weeks spent in Australia post storage in Perth. 5 individual complaints raised.
Australia Post even had the hide to send the parcel to an Australia Post outlet 3 suburbs away to pick up due to a another delivery issue from their contractor. I am currently disabled, and cannot drive, like WTF ???
This was the last item I ever ordered that used Auspost as the last leg of an international order from way back in August.
Hope the 1.5mm SB plate makes up for the terrible delivery experience.
