I wasn't complaining about the price of them, but you did have a discount for nutters like me buying several hundred.
Not to give you any ideas, but as long as the blades are available you can charge whatever you want :wink:
(But I'm sorted for quite a while. Having bought several hundred :laugh: - just give me advance warning if they stop making them 😱)
No worries. You would think some US companies would offer better prices, however we send many packs back over the pond.

Yes, a few/many years ago, when I was looking for Personna GEM PTFE coated blade it was less expensive to buy from you than from a North American source. Thank you.

Those you posted reads "uncoated". My understanding is, PTFE is the same as Teflon. Box cutter blades, which I have used, are very uncomfortable.


The same blades. The ad says Material: Stainless steel, state-of-the-art PTFE coating

Yes, those are the blades I have that I bought a many years ago. They are PTFE coated and the only GEM blades I will ever use.

Yes, it reads they are "coated".

When I first began to test antique GEM razors I purchased an assortment of blades. I tried them all. The PTFE are the only ones that will feel comfortable using on human skin. The "blue" ones were the most harsh.

Thank you all. I should try them just for a trial, I'll get the ten pack.
The choice between these GEM blades is rather limited, especially in Italy and I don't want to spend too much money, so the GEM Personna blades are the only option.

The SKUs you want are:

Stainless Personna GEM - 62-0178 (formerly 62-0165) and now AGBL-7020-0000 under AccuForge branding
Carbon Personna PAL - 62-0177 (formerly 62-0163) and now AGBL-7019-0000 under AccuForge branding

The pack in the link above show 62-0178 in the bottom left corner.

I have a pack of the new stock AGBL-7020-0000 from Connaught and they're lovely ... just like the Personna branding. Dunno if Microcoat© is a new thing for Accutec or just a new name for the old thing ... the coating.
