Ok, so even tho I am relatively new, I still feel like an idiot. Thought it was time to try a Feather and realized I had gotten some as a sample with a razor buy. Package looked different than the "yellow" branded version i had seen before, so I checked and yup learned there is a black pack "hi-stainless" as well as the "platinum-coated" one I believe most rave about.
So my question is this: Are these two even remotely close in sharpness and performance or is the "platinum" much much sharper??

thanks for the help.

Same blade.

Black packaging holds 5 blades.

Yellow packaging holds 10 blades

Thanks to each of you for the info. It was freaking me out since the one pkg. said "platinum coated" and other did not. Good news is that I had a really great shave with the blade and didn't even come close to bleeding to death, lol. In fact my maiden voyage on the S.S. Feather only left me with one minor weeper dot.
Thanks again guys.

The bottom one that you have marked 'NEW 5 per pack' is the same one that's on my 10 per pack.
