It was revealed yesterday that @snooting@wetshav.ing has been using a box of Personna “Lab Blue” which are in fact not Lab Blue, but Platinum Chrome. Platinum Chrome are made in Germany these days, not in the USA like the box says. Why anyone on Amazon would go through the trouble of switching these out is beyond me. So strange.

In choosing a razor today, I recalled that Lab Blue in a Legacy is one of snooting’s favorite combos – well I guess now we know it’s actually Platinum Chrome in the Legacy that he likes! Yesterday I determined that there’s a very good chance that these Personna GEM Double Edge blades are the same as Lab Blue/Super/AccuForge, so in honor of the recent shit coming to light I used this combo. Great shave!
