Anyone try the derby orange?

[RSHWETSHAVE]

Found these at Sally's beauty supply and picked some up.

I'm still very new to DE shaving but these have given me the best shaves so far. Not very sharp but it's the first blade I could go ATG on my neck with no irritation.

I'm new but highly recommend these.

What are your thoughts?

I was under the impression that they're the same blade as the green with different packaging

 

[RSHWETSHAVE]

That's what I thought. Maybe my technique is getting better because that's the best shave I've had so far

I believe the orange pack has ten blades and the green has five. I couldn't tell the difference in the blades.

Derby orange = 10 blades
Derby green = 5 blades
Big Ben red = 10 blades
Big Ben blue = 5 blades

I'm sure there are others that use color codes but I can't think of any more.

Feather yellow vs black packaging?

Derby's do give a very close shave, but I find them to pull too much, at least on the one blade I tried. Might be better next time I try one (which will be a while, alas). No irritation, either, but I felt like I needed both hands to drag the razor along.

I used to champion Derby blades, but they are tuggy, and not as sharp as I would like. That said, I will still use them, but I have found others I like much better *cough* Rapira *cough*
