    Default What is the difference on Feather Blades? Yellow or red pack?

    I am Not familiar with them and Ebay sellers don't give any info to speak of. Thanks.

    I believe the only difference is that one comes 5 blades to a tuck and the other 10 blades to a tuck.

    The difference is about $2

    If the red box is stamped Hi Stainless Platinum Coated they may be the same.
    If not they may be older stock.

    This has been discussed a number of times on other shaving forums. The consensus is that the blades are exactly the same, but packaged differently as BobH notes and also I have read that the different colors were intended for different markets. Feathers are my go to DE blade, and I can feel no difference between the two. I prefer the "yellows" just because they are more compact having 10 blades per tuck .. or a brick holds 200 blades as opposed to 100 in the "reds".
