Just got this, which I picked up on a second hand site in Ireland. I have no idea what it is, but I'm giving it a go anyway!

Paul, IMHO they are the same blade - I have both.

AFAIK the factory in Verona, US ) that used to make the old US Persona "lab blue" and "med prep" no longer makes blades for personna.


supposingly

AccuForge = Personna Comfort Coated (Lab Blue)

AccuThrive = Personna Med Prep

I assume the modern comfort coated are from Germany.

i wonder when the cutoff was something around 2024? last time i checked

believe razor blade club sells the old ones (lab blues) tho have no verified.

50 Accuthrive blades which I hope will be as good as the Personna Med Prep ones they are supposed to be.

AccuThrive brand is the medical sub-division of AccuTec. These are the ones worth buying from AccuTec - I have these, the AccuForge in black and the new GEM Platinum Diamond. Oh, and the German AccuForge.

Hey there. Congrats.
The head is L'ESSORE CSCF. It's a vintage French head on a custom handle.
Take a look at the original setup —click
