Feather Blades

**Ryan82** · 07-12-2013, 01:08 AM

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

No problem. I'll report my findings when I try them

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 tried the Feather Blacks last night and I can definitely say they seem the same as the Yellows. I had a superb 3 pass shave with my Merkur 38C, smooth as glass and very much irritation free. It reminded me why I love Feathers

They are the same exact blades,black is for one market, yellow is for another.

Yeah, someone else posted the same after my OP, but I did promise to post my findings....

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.
