I just picked up a pack of Feather "Blacks" over the weekend. I'm not sure if they're any different than the "Yellows", but I guess I'll find out :)

I'd love to know the difference you find if any
I have used both and cannot tell the difference. It has often been reported that there is no difference.
I was very nervous about taking the plunge & using a feather but I've been very lucky & haven't had a single bad shave or cut. I've used them in 3 different gillette safety razors & I'm totally sold on them.
Next challenge is snapping one & putting it in the shavette. Exciting stuff.
I have them both,no difference
In the back have the same letters,in the top the Yellow have a I7 mark and the Black a I4.

This black pack is the exact same blade as our yellow pack Feathers.
Feather Double Edge Razor Blades made in Japan
I believe that Yellow is 10 to a pack and Black is 5 to a pack...
And I like them best in a Slant Bar...and a very light touch.
Just ordered my first slant (37c) and will want to try a variety of blades in the new razor. Feathers are still my favorite, but reading through this thread and seeing a couple of people who prefer the polsilver super iridium, I'll have to check those out.
