Kai Captain Titan Mild blades without the PINK logo?

I have seen those, too. I don't think they are the same blade. My guess is that these don't have the coating.
This is a recent occurrence and not the first time I’ve seen it. The PINK is a clunky acronym; Plasma Ion New process by Kai; and maybe it’s no longer a new process or it just wasn’t superior to standard heat treatments?
Just sent an email through the company’s online form and will share answer if received.

Kai never got back to me, but the latest version of the Kai Captain Mild P!nk blades sold by The Razor Company looks similar.

Same for me. Ordered 200 peaces as Kai Captain Titan Mild Pink and it comes without Pink logo? Is it different blade or same only without Pink logo?
I have the same Captain Titan Mild blades without the Pink label.
Has anyone noticed a difference in how they perform?

I have Kai Captain Titan Mild Pink from razorbladesclub.com
They are in Europe so Kai Europe GmbH label looks logical. But whole Pink is only sticker. Under sticker same box as came today from Japan. Nothing Pink..
First box directly from Japan no Pink logo, second Eu distribution with Pink

I have both it seems... a package with Pink printed on it.. and one without... both "mild". I'm guessing they are the same blade. If I have it right, Kai makes the guarded mild blades: the Protouch.. and the Kai mild Titans... unguarded.
Now... I'll take a look at the above link to their website to see if I'm close... Hang on... i couldn't get a good look at all the blades from the above link. This one seems to confirm my idea about the two Kai AC blade choices:

It doesn't answer the question about PINK vs not marked PINK, but here is a picture of my Kai AC blades. The boxes for the Captain Titan Mild (AKA Pink) and Captain Titan Mild Protouch MG (guarded blade) were printed with the PINK logo although the actual cartridges do not have the PINK logo.

Links are corrects, but there is no blade called "Kai Captain Titan Mild" without Pink on pictures. Probably it is older version, or Pink is just added for marketing reason or only for some markets. Funny is European sticker which add Pink to non Pink version, non Pink have same Titanium coating and PTFE coating but nothing written about blade (in contrary with Pink version where is Pink blade also in description and on the picture)
The PINK sticker is very reassuring. It suggests or very strongly implies the blades are the same. Maybe they are just streamlining their branding, but the EU likes differentiation. To me it is pretty cool to have the PINK process pointed out.
The stock number and scan number are the same, but the new sans-PINK packaging has FSC labeling (renewable paper fiber standard).
The Red and Blue are not titanium coated. Do you notice a difference in shave or longevity with the Blue vs the Titan Mild?
I don't see much difference in longevity between blue and pink (mild) but I get a better shave with the blue, it seems a bit sharper. The red is very sharp however the sharpness does not last beyond one shave for me.
Interesting to know. Thank you for sharing. I’ve used this for a few years before switching to feather pros. After switching back to Kai’s after another few years with feathers, I was not impressed! I was surprised because I used to love them. Not sure if I just got so accustomed to feathers or if they changed. I believe it’s probably the former.
They are just not as smooth as I would like them.. but no means they are harsh but not feather smooth
This will help or add to the confusion.
How does it help? I received blades with Pink on EU German sticker but under Sticker no Pink on Japan box. And on blades plastic box no Pink just light blue Titan (Kai Captain Titan Mild)
Question remain, is it Pink, or not or both version is same blade with different names for different markets.. ?
I emailed Kai in February about this, but there has been no answer. The EU sticker alleviates any concern I might have though.
I looked at the Kai website a while back.... At the moment, on said website, they only list two blades: the Protouch guarded blades and the "Pink" unguarded blades.
It's funny... I just did a repeat test I did two years ago now, when I got my first razor that happened to be an AC razor. I used all the AC blades in my La Faulx SS, other than the Feather ProSuper I forgot to bring along on the 3 week trip to Bali.... I've been using the Kai Protouch pretty much exclusively for the past 2 years, but I wanted to see if I'd learned anything or if my preferences had changed... At the end of the 3 weeks, I ended up ordering a couple of the boxes of ten packages of the "Pink" unguarded blades, as I liked them a bit more than the Protouch....
I noticed, I didn't like the Feathers as much as I remembered, the exact opposite of @bebo8 . I have quite a few Feather ProGuard packages... but I only had two of the Kai Pinks... I still have quite a few Kai Protouch guarded blade packages and like them a lot as well. I didn't seem to like the Feather Professionals.. I got a couple of cuts on my upper lip: one each on two shaves.. none on the third, but no cuts or weepers with either of the Kai blades. It could have just been coincidence... but it was odd. I had never cut myself with either the bronze La Faulx Classic or the SS La Faulx Classic in several dozen shaves.
