Thread: Red Package Feather DE Blades - Now Available in the U.S.

I was at a Japanese market (Marukai) that recently opened in the San Francisco Bay Area, and to my surprise I found the hard to get red package Feather DE blades on sale.

They were selling for $6.98 per pack, which is somewhat expensive. However, it's still cheaper than having them sent over from Japan.

Cool. Is this the store on Stevens Creek near Wolfe? Did they have the yellow blades as well?

Yeap, that's the store. They only had the red feather blades and no DE handles.

id like to try those out hopefully ill be able to find then close to me

The red packs are the same as the yellows--no difference in blades, as far as I can tell. Does anyone know different?

**EDIT** Since I'm new here, and I would like to help in this discussion, I'll gladly PIF a pack of Japanese packaged feathers to two members. Jwoods, I'm looking at you. PM me with your address! First two gets it.

Jim

You're more than welcome. Let me know if you think they are different from the ones usually available in the US...I don't think they are, but what do I know?
